I'm fed up with my boring old office job at work. I'm working in a telesales role at a newspaper and have been there for about a year. The people are nice the canteen is amzing but I just don't like it...at all!! I studied drama at university and want to be a stand up comic but somehow I've got stuck in a rubbish 9-5 desk job. I'm lost and I don't know what to I want to do something that fits with who I am (e.g fun outgoing silly and funny) But I have no clue how to start. I don't want to do something pointless, and I don't want to do something that pays really badly. Where should I start looking? Websites, Papers etc....I'd like to work with children maybe or animals or fish...but they're just examples....ANY RECCOMENDATIONS. Please please please don't write silly or pointless messages.

I work helping a blind guy who is attending college. A few times recently he has been late or not come in at all-and I'm often dubious of his excuses, though I haven't said anything yet. Although it is his learning that is affected, I find myself being annoyed by this-when you are all set to do a job helping somebody, its frustrating when they don't turn up.
But I don't want to fall out with someone I have to spend 6 hours a day with. How can I say how I feel about this tactfully?

If I left previous employment on excellent terms to accept a promotion and higher pay with another co, and now am unhappy with new job, is it ok to ask to be rehired. Previous co was very nice when I left, offered higher pay and also a promotion. But, I decided to go with the new offer. How should I approach my previous employer about applying for rehire?

I've always felt really guilty when I quit a job. But should you? I mean you're doing it for you, right? I'm contemplating quitting my job now and I of course feel guilty about it but my mates tell me that no one cares more about me than me. This job has me stressed and irritable and I can't sleep right so quitting would probably be the best thing for me. What do you all think?

i have been out sick this week from my part time job and have missed several times before too. anyway i called in this morning and told my boss i'm not 100% yet and he said ok. then i asked him if i was ok there and he asked me ok where? i told him if i still had a job there and after a long pause( which worried me) he told me that we would sit down tomorrow and talk about it. he then told me that i was part time and told me not to sweat it. i then told him that if i missed anymore he could fire me if he wanted to. he then told me again that we would talk about it tomorrow. what do you all think? is he going to fire me or just give me a stern warning tomorrow? he did say that i was part time and not to sweat it.

I recently started working at ingles, and after working for about a week they told me it is mandatory to have direct deposit. i informed them that I don't have a bank account. They told me it doesn't matter- I have to get one. The problem with that is when I was married my husband ruined my Suntrust account and I haven't been able to pay it off... (we are getting a divorce this month and he will be accepting some of the balance)
My question is- how can they make it mandatory to have a bank account to have a job??? and any suggestions on what I should do? I am trying to get a bank of america cashpay card and hopefully they can use that... if not looks like they have to find a new employee- what a bunch of crap...

I currently live in Atlanta, GA. Even though the city is rapidly growing and the cost of living is going up; people's incomes are not, unfortunately. I have been out of college since 2004 and have recently been in search of a position that will pay me a minimum of $30,000; $40,000 is preferred. This has been the most difficult thing ever. Companies honestly only want to pay between $23,000 and $28,000. Any suggestions as to what I can do to find the position that I want. I do plan on going back to grad school, but would like a little money in my pocket to take care of expenses. Anything under $30,000 is not going to do that. Help!

I got a new job (much better one) and I start this week. I want to quit my old job, but I'm afraid that if I quit without giving proper notice, that my former employer won't give me my paycheck. If I go in and quit today, can I still get my pay check in a couple days.

I've broken my leg and so can't work because I can't stand up for long which my job involves. I wanna leave that joint and go somewhere else, and I've been offered and interview next week. I don't think I'll be back at work.

Do you think it's ok to go for an interview, it's not as if I'm sick because I'm fine in myself, but I can't do my job, but would be able to sit down and talk!

I just recently got an offer for a job that I applied for. Everything sounds really good except I feel that they "low-balled" me on the salary. I went through a series of interviews in which they gave me a range of salary that I would make, which was $36k - $40k. Now they originally told me that they would definitely want me to make a little more than I previously did at my old job which was $36k, so I would probably make $38k. This was fine with me, although I was looking in the $40k range. Now, when the boss called me she said she was calling to negotiate salary and to give me the details on everything. She asked me how much I made before, which was $36k, and then said they would start me at $36k and I would be elligible to receive possible raises of 3% every six months until I reach median range salary, which is $44k. I was told to think about everything over night and give a call to her tommorrow. I was just wondering if I should ask for $38k and how I should say it

I have already changed my career three times and I feel like such a flake. I have made some poor choices in the past in terms of career moves and I wonder not only if I am too old, but also if my track record of changing careers will count against me.

Don't get me wrong, I have excelled at every job I have ever had, even awarded at several. I have even worked in several different types of jobs in several different countries but I have never been particularly happy at any of the jobs I have had. Even as of today, I feel like I just want a regular job that makes a lot of money so I can simply pay my bills and take care of my family. Not very altruistic but I am just being honest. What is a confused,middle aged man to do?

I am really pumped for it. What questions should I ask him? I have to have about 10 questions to ask him and possibly his supervisor.

My manager works literally 24/7. She constantly sends work emails late at night and on weekends, and asks for help frequently. It'd be ok if it was occasional as sometimes you have due dates and work needs to get done but this is getting out of control. I received a 360 feedback invite from her and would like to give her a constructive feedback. I would appreciate any suggestions regarding appropriate way of telling her. Thanks.

I recently graduated college with a bachelor's degree in Computer information systems. However, I have decided that the office corporate world just isn't for me. Being confined in a building all day sounds like a miserable way to live.

Ever since I was little, I have loved construction equipment. I was never a girly girl, I loved my Tonka trucks and matchbox cars. I choose jeans and a sweatshirt over dressy clothes anyday. Even today, I still love driving by construction sites. I think it would actually be a fun job to either drive a dump truck all over the state (small state, NH) or to work in the dirt with an excavator, bull dozer, and any other heavy equipment!

I was wondering how one goes about entering this career path? Should I go get my CDL? How do you get training on these machines?
