I was in human resources for a home health aide agency last year. I only lasted a year because they changed my job over to payroll and invoicing. I hated it.

Then I began to shake at work physically. Had to quit. Its a shame because I liked the human resources part of the job, they should have never changed me over.

I do childcare full time at a daycare.

I've had a ton of jobs in the past 3 years, but they were all part time and/or seasonal (only worked that way because I was in school full time).

I'm a self-employed attorney. I really need more clients - - have only two right now because my life has been so messed up. It leaves with loads of free time, which I hate.

I'm an Executive Assistant who works for a Boss From Hell for the last 2+ years. His bullying caused me to have a meltdown at work and I've been on short term disability since (one month). It took me two years to find this job given this crappy economy and I'm worried sick that I've blown the opportunity and what kind of reception I'm going to receive when I return to work.

I hate my life.

I've been unemployed for two years now. I was in school but I haven't been in school for the past couple semesters... I just sit around all day and it drives me nuts. My last job was at a Thai food restaurant. I quit because I got paid below minimum wage under the table, they'd only schedule me for like 4 hours at a time and it was kind of far from my house.. it totally wasn't worth it, most of my paycheck went to gas. Also my boss was a major ****.

I currently work as a postie, been in this job for nearly 2 1/2 years.
Three years ago I'd just lost my job as an outdoor activity instructor. In the following 6 months I had tried a cleaning job and a couple of office jobs which I hated so spent most of that time on job seekers allowance

I've had three different jobs in the last year. Worked in a warehouse (Hell) for twelve and a half years. It paid very well but it was tearing my body up. Moved on to a correctional facility. That lasted only a few weeks and I realized it wasn't going to work out. Got lucky and the grocery store I worked at in high school was needing help, so they hired me on the spot. Despite my social anxiety, I absolutely love my job (98% of the time, anyway). I'm five minutes from home, I've always enjoyed grocery store work, it's usually no problem for me to get off for appointments or whatever, and I actually get paid better than you would think.

warehouse. I absolutely hate it, but they pay me well enough that it balances out. And it keeps me in really good shape.

I teach my son at home. And I refurbish houses. It's all I've done for several years. Previous to that I taught at a vocational rehab school.

My main job is collecting welfare monies, and I have been doing this most of my working life. I have also done some temporary data entry work and also had a driving job which lasted 3 months. I am 35, but i would say all up I have worked 5 years.

Right now I do data entry. Part time. I don't even work with people (aside from my coworkers in the office, with whom I have little contact) and it drives me nuts. I have a really hard time sitting still and staring at a computer screen for four hours straight. I don't know how I used to do this 40 hours a week. I am in school right now, working towards something that will hopefully be more rewarding.
