Proud of your job/Career

[_Shane_]

Im working for Sky digital for the last 4 years. Started as a sales advisor on the phones and quickly worked my way up the ladder in to Quality Control / support. Basically me and my team work just below operations managers and pretty much run the floor lol

 

I like it there i must say

I hated my job, well i did looking back now, was sucked into the corporate culture and became a shadow of the person i actually wanted to be, earned good money worked stupid hours and was so tired at weekends that i flaked out on the sofa most of the time.

 

Love my life now - I enjoy selling a good product to decent people.

I hate my job. I work as a electrical and mechanical engineer for a small company but they win some big money contracts and have some high class clientele.

 

I'm in charge of the job on a daily basis and it's my job to bring the contract in on time and make a profit. I have between 5-25 people working underneath me and Im only as good as the team I have around me. But I do feel that it's only myself that cares about the job, they finish and go home where I go home plan the next couple days ahead and handle 10+ phones after working hours.

 

Hopefully that will all change I have been speaking to one of our major main contrators for Holland and they are interested in me working for them. They seem to think I have drive and determination (suckers) to get the job done.

 

So I hoping a payrise and my job prospects will be on the up.

Good thread and interesting reading!

 

I am now in my third career... after training in hotels since dinosaurs roamed the earth I finally achieved my ambition of managing a de-luxe hotel in Mayfair - only to have it sold to people who..lets just say we had a difference of opinion.

 

I then set up my own catering company and got interested in cars... Toyota Supras in particular (you may have heard of them...chest wigs are a required uniform?) during which time I also undertook and passed my MBA

 

I then started in teaching - and now teach on undergrad and postgrad masters courses in loads of various 'useless' management subjects which allows my students to go forth emminently qualified to become...unemployed I suspect (!) I have to say that it is something which I really love doing... and appear quite good at it too going by the student feedback (blackmail is such an ugly word!) :-)

 

Believe me whan I tell you this government, well... to paraphrase the words of Mr Paxman to the Universities Minister 'You really have no idea what you are doing, have you?'

 

I now work for one of the new breed of private Universities (BPP) - who are actually very good and I suspect I will stay here for some time all being well...

 

But if anything I have learned that you must, whatever you are doing, go with your heart - if you hate it - get the hell out and preserve what sanity and life you have...I have been there and thank the lord for helping me escape

 

Do only what you love! :-)
