I hate every minute of my job, but the money is good. What should I do?

Question

It's like I'm depressed every morning, Monday through Friday. The only times I feel good is after I leave the office in the evening, and Friday evenings to Sunday mornings.

Answer 1

Either two ways to make it better.

Work to another career.

Or save most of your money, and work a lot till you get enough to retire early.

You could always look at your job as a game. Try to find another position you can get into that would be more your style. Maybe management or sales? Play office politics for the hell of it and see how far you can go. Maybe you can take over the company?

Answer 2

Pursue other options. If you need to drag yourself to the office and have all this negative feelings, you'll end getting sick. What is the money for you you're just going to use them for your medical expenses.

Try to find something that would make you fulfilled and happy as life is really short.

Answer 3

Money is hard to turn down, but if you're not happy, what good does it do you? I would definitely start looking for something that you enjoy, even if the money is less. Life is too short to be stressed all the time.

Answer 4

Start checking out your other options. Once you've done that you can do one of two things:

1) Pursue one of those options (i.e. quit and work elsewhere)
2) Gain a better appreciation for what you have (i.e. it's actually just the same or worse elsewhere)

In either case, it should help you feel better.
