I never enjoy my work!

I seem very uninspired and unmotivated at work. I have had three jobs in the last two years and wind up dreading them whole-heartedly. What is my problem?

I have a college degree, a killer worht ethic, but no motivation. I dont know what to do because I'm afraid I'll never make it in the career world.

I am going to school (grad school) in the fall and I'm hoping that changes my drive a bit, but what if it doesn't? Does anyone else out there "hate" to work?

Thanks!

Were your last three jobs, in the same field as your degree or interests?

You definitely scored there. Grad school is heaven. Get yourself a souped-up computer, and play games all day. Sure, it's not forever, but what is??

You sound like me. I too am in grad school but have to work full time as well. I hate this job and my last and I guess it's maybe sort of a mental thing bc I know this is only an inbetween job so I have money to live on. I hate working in a corporate env't which is why my degree is in something unrelated. I do what's asked of me and no more. Go figure I get excellent annual reviews lol

i hate those kinds of people that say, " i love my job!" well, hate is such a strong word cause my dad has a job now that he loves. must be nice to be able to retire and go back to work because it's fun.

just be thankful that you aren't looking for a job (for months) and have a wife and a kid to feed.

have fun at gradschool.
