There are other concerns besides money, I have found. Flexibility, stress levels, and hours.

I know, I just don't want to give up on the dream of a dental office where the dentist is actually a great person, and every one who works there wants to be there!

I have training that is not yet paid for damn it! I just hate that!

I think DR Everett in Kirkland, WA just might be the nicest dentist I have ever met! He even has good people skills!

If that was Washington, it may be a bit of a comute for me. I was thinking of something closer, like east of the Mississippi. Or the Illinois. Or the Wabash.

The first place I worked as a journalist really kicked me out of the highly sheltered box I used to live in. The Editor yelled a lot every Wednesday to us teenage journalists and throws our article back even if it's typo, and it was all well that I started working because of the experience, cause the wage sucks. I'm grateful for whatever that I learned, but I believe I couldn't stand the stress levels.

I also discovered even after I moved on from newspaper publication to online publication that journalism doesn't sit well on my stomach. Being nosy about other people's business just doesn't sit well on me, no offense to any professional journalists out there.

I didn't hate it, nor did I love it. I'm just not cut out for it.

Right now I'm just a Uni student and I'm happy for it .

I work for a TV/Radio Public Broadcasting station. You know...the PBS/NPR people. I work in the Development Department...we're the ones who muck up the schedule so we can put on pledge drives. I choose the "thank you" gifts that we give to members for pledging and I also choose the items that we put our logo on. I've recently been promoted to Associate Producer, so now I get to tell the talent for both TV and Radio pledge what to say during pledge breaks. I shop for a living and get to tell people what to do. Of course I love it.

I am an actress, but I am currently looking for a "real job". Acting is great, but you really don't make any money in the begining. Lol, I'm trying to see if they can get me into the new eppys of "Lost". I submitted, but only time will tell if I will even get an audition. Heh :twisted: I love this shit!

Just notice you didn't have "hate with a violent passion" as one of the options on the poll

I'm a biologist at a big pharmaceutical company adn what really drives me made is that although the companies aim is to make sick patients lives better, they don't actually care about sick employees.

I've had a long term health issue, which although is serious (thank goodness) does mean I've had to take a little bit of time off this year. It wasn't a problem last year but they've gone and changed all the human resources policies this time round so I'm going through a load of grief trying to deal with it all at the moment.

Anywhoo that's my rant out of the way...... (sorry!)

I am a full time college student ( five classes) and I work part-time at a big franchise store, which has locations pretty much in every state in America.... It's kind of like a home stuff store... we sell bed linens, bathroom stuff, housewares, cookware, and window draperies. I work in the windows department. I can tell you everything that has to do with curtains. I'm not proud of this, by the way. My job is okay, I just get annoyed how people treat me sometimes. They always open a panel, unfold it, stuff it behind other panels, then take one they haven't opened to buy. and I'm required to greet every guest as they walk by, and a lot of times, they just ignore me. Lastly, they get mad at me when something isn't on sale, like it's my fault. Oh, and my supervisor is completely insane.
But hey. I'm getting paid. That's what counts. and, I love all my co-workers, except one. so, it's cool, I guess.

Crystalline, who feels better now that she's ranted.

I never thought this thread would last this far, so woot to all who need a place to vent about their jobs! Like or dislike, all thoughts are welcome. Working is what we do to bankroll our real lives...
