| Working - love or loathe? As I’m about to enter a major change phase in my chosen career I’d be interested to see what you fellow DSC ‘hard’ workers actually think of your working lives. I know a couple of you have just jacked in jobs and some are moving to new companies and careers, some with trepidation, so I thought I’d poll your views. Major changes in your 20s are not so life impacting (IMO) as when you reach your 40s (like me  ) so tell me what you think today – at your time of life – what does work mean to you?[Edited on 28-7-2005 by everton]  |

| Interesting poll. I'm in a listing phase with work ... I enjoy the technical challenges of my job and sometimes even the political ones. At the moment though, I'm bored. When my job is interesting and I'm motivated I get a great deal of satisfaction from it but I would never say that I live to work. There's too many other things I like doing and fortunately my work pays well enough to afford me a few luxuries like the Ducati's I'm currently hoarding  I'm thinking I need to move on in my working life though ... I am already a career changer having previously been a soldier/electronics technician. |

| I`ve been with the same company for the last 22yrs(I know,I don`t look that old)started at the bottom,now factory manager,have been for the last five years,and I`m bored witless!My own worse enemy really,good at what I do,so they keep me doin it.From the outside in it looks ok,close to home,no travelling but no unwinding on the way home either as long as the work gets done I have a free reign to run the place as I see fit,the wage is reasonable for our area,but boy do I need a change!Understand entirely Dave |

| oooh hard one.... part of me says i hate it and only do it for the money, but part of the reason i left my last job was because I was bored half the time. When I actually get to do something myself rather than dealing with numpties I enjoy what I do. Sometimes I think I would like to jack it all in and do something completely different, but I think my job suits my personilty and my attitude... or maybe i have this personality and attidue because of my job...hmmm I still do roughly the same work as in my previous role just with a company that has some huge differences to my one which means things that would have been an everyday task previously is now a major headache Having said all that, i get paid so i get to keep my bike so can't be all bad (for today anyway) |
