    I need a job...

    Although to some peoples surprise, Discount Tire is an awesome place to work. I worked there for a little over a year before I left home for college and I was sad to go. The people I worked with were all around my age and fun as hell to work with, for being in highschool $12.50/hr was awesome, 2 bonuses a year, days go by fast with hard work, and customers are for the most part awesome.

    Also worked for a communications company that a family friend owns while I was home for Christmas break, hated it. I was getting paid $10/hr to basically run cat5 wire through buildings with a 45 year old dead beat ass hole coworker. Never again.

    Last job I was under the wing of a guy who was running a small German repair shop by himself and got fired from that.. I loved the job, he was an awesome role model, I just made too many tiny mistakes that costed him time and customer patience. I never costed him money like breaking parts, but I was learning and left a hose clamp loose and the intake bellow came off while the customer was driving.. SO I fucked that up but I really did love it.

    I hate my job. I work in the advisory department of a large public accounting firm and the job I was promised is far different from what I actually do. The pay is very good, benefits are great, but the day to day tasks I am responsible for are terrible. I have a mini existential crisis at least once a week on the way to work. I need a change.

    So, something I have ALWAYS been very particular with when considering and accepting job offers is who I work for and with. I have to work with people that I can at anytime go have a beer with and be happy, I also am a very independent person when it comes to work and try to make sure the people I work for agree with that when I am asking questions in interviews and during prehire discussions. I have yet to have a boss I didn't get along with and didn't respect, I have had someone in my company that was being promoted (older man very experiences and very qualified) I told my current boss if I would be moved below him I would quit that day. I know that getting along with people you work with on a beyond work personal level is very important, I can have arguments and disagreements with people I work with but being able to leave the office and golf, drink, go to a game and blow off steam together we all know that it isn't personal and get along outside of the office alleviates the stress when the next huge blow up argument occurs.

    I also get school paid for which I enjoy and will finish my second masters in year or so, then will consider law school as well which they would pay for as well.

    My job is awesome. The people I work with are the best. I was prepared for the worst and ended up with the complete opposite. If I had to gripe, I would cite the lowish pay, lack of health benefits, and eventual realization that I need to find a "real job." But for an in-between gig, it can't get better than this.

    Right in the middle. My job is okay, it's pretty easy. I sell parts for major European marques all day, get cheap OE replacement parts for my cars but I feel like I could do with a better salary, however, I don't feel that my position here is worth more money than what I get.

    I love my job. I just hit my one year mark at my current job. im a diesel engine technician who is in charge of maintaining 34 trucks, 45+ trailers and 14 forklifts. i work alone and dont have to provide work orders. when i was in school doing full time, i would stay up nights working on the car and take power naps at work under trucks and trailers. there are times where i feel into a deep sleep and woke up under a trailer two hours after my shift ended and no one would know. Also this year alone I've received a $3.52 raise!

    I'm not exactly sure yet. I've only been hired at this new job for about 2 months, and I still look forward/count down to 3:30 every day when I get off. Some days I'm busy all day cutting material for our fabricators, or some days I'm machining some spacers or something simple on the lathe, but 90% of the days I get stuck doing random BS fixing/cleaning up other peoples carelessness around the shop. When the boss isn't around it sucks because I really don't have anything to do since I'm not technically a fabricator or machinist, and 98% of the jobs can be handled by a single person.

    I'm only 20 years old with only a couple welding classes and general mechanic skills but I'm already tired of being the shop monkey. The pay would be decent for my lack of qualifications/schooling but the job is 50 miles each way from my house and that takes a cut out of my earnings for gas/car maintenance. I'm not working on cars, but I'm greasy/dirty/sweaty all day and I have zero desire to work on my car on the weekends anymore. The job hours are usually good, 7:00-3:30 M-F, but some weeks are more like 7:00am-6:00pm plus my 1hr commute home:???:.

    My last job I had I was working at a small construction company as a delivery driver, I worked with a lot of my friends, and it was only a 5 minute drive from my house. I had a blast working there especially in the summer when all my friends from college came back to work. Jamming to music in the work truck and unloading windows and doors to job sites, which is basically a workout too. I then got "promoted" (with no pay raise) to be a supervisor where I drive around to our different job sites, make sure our workers were using all their safety gear, and made sure they had all the materials they needed. All I did was drive around all day in an air conditioned truck jamming to music and play baby sitter. The pay wasn't great and the hours sucked (6:45-5:00 or later M-F) with no overtime pay because we were considered "drivers". The days went by so fast though, and driving around and seeing different parts of the area is always fun.

    I need a job where I can drive around all day and get decent pay, and not be a trucker.
