They say to choose a job you love so you'll love what you do. I've yet to find that job.

I hate the corporate world, the business suits & ties, the blackberrys--everything. That's just not the type of environment I ever want to make a career working in.

I recently moved and have been searching for a decent job. Is it worth my sanity to go be a bank teller, for instance, when I know that's not where I see myself long term just for the sake of earning a paycheck?

Have you ever accepted a job offer at a place where you knew you couldn't see yourself working long-term?

I will try to explain this without making it complicated. I am 19 years old and have never had a job. Before anyone judges me and decides that I am lazy, I assure you that I am NOT! I have been sick since I was 15 years old and only now healthy enough to begin working. I have looked forward to working for years but I could not have handled it (physically) before. Now that I am ready, I am not sure what to do. I assume that because of my age people will expect me to have job experience, which I am worried it will affect my chances. My other thing is I am healthy enough to work but not 100%, which means I need a job that isn't stressful (physically). I also can't work with food in any way (long story). So I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for jobs that would fit my needs. Also, any advice to make me more appealing since I don't have any job experience would be great.
Remember, can't be physically stressful and nothing with food. What are your thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

I had an interview with a district court and was asked this question: what do you think of all the people coming thru here going to court? I said that probably 1/2 of them are not law abiding citizens and the other half just had a bad day, made a wrong decision. What would have been the appropriate answer.

I've worked in my job for over 2 years now, I have done the same shifts on a saturday and Sunday for the duration of the two years, I have always worked 14hrs and had a steady income (i have another job too). Since a new manager has started my hours have been decreasing first to 12hrs and this week I'm only working 10 hrs. So slowly but surely Im missing out on hours. This month a total of 16hrs. The problem is, is that the new people who have started are taking my hours this isn't right is it.

I am in my late 40's, have been working a temp to perm job for a year, and have gotten no negative feedback in my performance - I am an expert in my field, and my boss has the means to hire me, but doesn't want to 'seal the deal' - every sign possible shows he's happy with my work.

They've hired several people in their 20's and 30's

How could I prove some type of discrimination ? In my state, it is illegal to record a conversation without the person's knowledge, so I can't tape him.

4 years ago I was charged with a Felony.Prosecutor tricked me to sign a plea saying if I sign plea,nothing will happen,matter will resolve promptly and I will continue with your usual business.I tried my best to get plea back, but failed.

But now problem is I am unable to get any job since then,my health is down due to lots of stress and have foamy with five kids to support.All the job application has question about felony and I do not want to lie and so unable to get a job.

Can any one help? Is there any Government,Public or Religious organization help? If some one is charged with Felony,he cannot get job? How he/she should support himself /herself?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP. GOD BLESS YOU

Okay so I have the abilitiy to do math and science very well at universities. I am currently in engineering and have a 4.0 but is there other career paths I can take that my looks will be necessary.

I really don't want to sound cocky but I am confident I have good looks, I go to the gym 5 times a week, and girls think I am cute so is there a job out there that is high paying, requires intelligence AND good looks?

If this question sounds too conceded and written by a self-centered jerk sorry, I tried not to come across as one.

I am planning to quit my job because I am getting married next month. Most of my co-workers know about this. My manager was on vacation and today is the first day I will see her since I set my wedding date. When she finds out (if she hasn't already), she may be expecting me to request that weekend off. If I don't and she mentions it, she will find out I am planning to quit the company. At my last job they fired anyone who openly planned to quit. Should I worry about losing my job today? (Not that I would mind if I did, I'm only waiting out to cover a vacation next month....)
