F... working

Hey Matty, read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki. He writes about changing the mindset and philosophy of punching timeclocks, working for someone else -- it's pretty inspiring and lets the reader in on the secrets of generating income without working. It's a relatively quick read, and it makes you think.

Thanks, I'll check that out.

I'm starting to come to the conclusion that my job is just something that keeps me busy from 9-5 and it pays the bills. I'm really trying to focus my efforts on finding things that I love to do outside of work, and that also generate some side income.

I've got a small business that I'm putting together with a buddy of mine, hopefully that will work out and give me the creative outlet I'm looking for. And who knows what may happen eventually. After all, I never dreamed this site would become what it has when I started up the measly Yahoo Club. So anything certainly is possible if I put some blood, sweat and tears into it.

I like the job but F... Being underpaid!

I like my job only because I can do the work I have to do in less than an hour and can pretty much do whatever else I want the rest of the day and still get paid for it. Out of sight out of mind here.

You sound like you have a very similar job to me. What do you do?

I work for a college facilities department.

f- the long hours, i started at 10am and wont get off until midnight

plain and simple......work sucks! beemnseven, i think i am going to check out that book too.

After looking at some of the reviews, maybe not...."Great book for people who want to work hard to make money".....that says it all, this book is not for me.....lol

My goal is to find a job that requires minimal work at maximum pay. If anyone knows of such a thing please let me know.

President?

I like my job a whole lot. But if I want to get to 6 figures someday I'm going to have to start putting in like 55 or 60 hours a week. I'll need to decide somewhat soon if I'm happy with 45 hours a week for less $, or do I want to give up my personal life for the financial security.

Work/life balance is very important to me. That's going to be a huge decision in the next few years for me. Probably a lot of people here are in a similar boat: do I want to make more money but have no time, or do I want the time with just enough money. Supporting spouse and kids enters the equation at some point, and that makes the decision even harder.
