I don't usually like making threads/polls on game sites that aren't about games, but I do it sometimes. I'm not sure if this has been asked yet, and I just thought about it 'cause I'm not working at the time, but I think I will be soon.
@Rolyatkcinmai: woah shit. I swore you were my age, not younger.
On another note, it goes up and down, but right now I've 5 years under my belt at the same place and this job is making it so my wife and I can have a house built that will suit all our needs for the next decade or two. So yea, I'm pretty stoked about my job.
EDIT: I'm 27, and for unknown reasons thought you had a year on me or two. (chalk it up to your voice sounding older than you are?)
I work at before and after school program for kids, so there are days where I have a lot of fun playing with them but other days I can't stand my job. It all depends on my mood and how much of a pain in the ass the kids are being day by day.
All i will say is never work in a grocery store. It would probably be better if i wasn't also balancing university with work and i didn't need to get up at 5:15am to get to work on time.

Man, I had to get up at 4:00 AM PT every Friday to go to work when I worked last. That was no good.

I am bumping this because, while i don't have a job and haven't even finished school yet, this is truly awesome and should be kept alive
Thank you? I didn't think someone would think such a thread topic is awesome.
Working at Wal-mart right now. I've heard horror stories from people saying its the worst thing ever. I've not really had that experience Its a bit boring but not really "bad" as all I have to do is stock shelves and most of the time I'm left alone to work at my own pace.
While I'm going through college I'm working at a Gamestop..... man it kind of sucks. Like I know it could be FAR worse just some of the people I work with are annoying as hell (like any job) and the constant pressure to sell people shit they don't need or else I could get fired kind of gets old.
@DuskVamp: Agreed, bad customers can make working in retail hell sometimes.I like my immediate bosses, but the higher ups can be total dicks sometimes.
We recently got a big newsletter about "our company and social media" so I'd probably get fired if I started bitching about them....
I work full time for a company that contracts with other companies to do telephone customer service. I work multiple lines, including THE biggest tractor and equipment company in the world. I do all of this full time from home. 40+ hours a week, and make a pretty good living. I can't complain, really, but if I had my way, I'd be doing other things. Still, though- sleeping in and not having to fight traffic is great.
@Clouise: Yeah we have a notice up in the staff room about social media, but hey, none of them come to this site, so screw them! Well, just the one really...
I do care work for young adults and older at a residential home and day care service and have been doing it for about one year and it almost doesn't feel like work in many ways and always have allot of fun with the Clients that live and come to the day service and i couldn't imagine not doing it. There are the really crappy side of it like dealing with someone passing away though which can hit hard but that aside it has been really rewarding and its kept me happy as a work environment.
i like the job that i do but i despise the environment that i have to do it in, specifically some of the people in the organization and the other organizations that we share space with. i chose the second option in the survey because i am not a musician or an astronomer and i would definitely prefer doing either of those to what i do now.
I worked in a grocery store (edit: in the bakery department as the head baker) for eleven years, getting up at 3am. I recently quit because I got married and moved. I will never, ever do that again. I was so stressed and on edge all the time due to the always increasing demands put upon us. No matter how good or stable the job may have been, it wasn't worth the mental toll I was always taking.
I'd say i really like my job. I inspect septic systems for the county. While the actual subject of the job is pretty boring and maybe a bit gross, everything around the job is great. The pay is pretty good, great benefits, my coworkers and bosses are awesome. Only real bummer is i'm probably gonna be laid off.
My first real job in the culinary world & I'm making pasta for some of the biggest restaurants in New York City. I work at a commissary in Queens, under the parent company BR-Guest, & my pasta is sent from there to all the restaurants owned by them. If one of those places needs fresh pasta, it comes from me (in other words, i'm one of the biggest names in pasta for NYC). I've been working there for well over a year now, & I couldn't be happier.'
And since I don't deal with costumers, I get to listen to my ipod all day(& most of the time it's the Bombcast).
Working at a bank while studying engineering full time. Sometimes it can get really busy and people are always bitchy about their money, but most days it is kind of slow and I just surf the web. So it's not the best, but it is better than most college student jobs.

Fellow associate! I'm on the distribution center side though. It sucks, but the cash makes it bearable.
Answer B pretty much answers my feelings working at my current job at the moment. I don't mind it, but I would love to work somewhere where I'm doing something much closer to the major I graduated with from college (accounting).
