Do you hate your job?

Sure.

I too hate the kind of job I am doing now. It is not that it is a bad job to do, the job is OK, but I was promised a better and more interesting position and I had to move from Geneva to Zurich for it.

Going through all the hassle of moving from one end to the other or the country, on a place where another language is spoken and a different culture.

At the end, I like it, I like better Zurich, my personal life is going well, I am doing things I wanted to do before and now I have them available, I have good colleages, we have a good working environment, and sports activities together ( we play football ( soccer ) twice a week) I had a 20% salary rise....

everything is good, but the job I was offered didn't really exist and now I am doing a boring job.

this week my company had a sales meeting (familis invited) in naples florida at a resort on the beach. we had meetings for 4 hours in the morning, after a good breakfast, then broke for golf and other activities - I went out on a fishing charter one day and on a sailboat the other, my wife had a massage and hung out in the morning on the beach and at the pool. every night at a good resteraunt and then at a bar drinking umbrella drinks until about 1 am. all expenses covered.

can't beat this job, couldn't be happier.

Like a couple other posts, I also wanted to be a professor. I'm about to start my second year and I am just glad that I'm in a Masters program as opposed to a PhD. Academia can seem like a nice, relaxed, enlightened lifestyle, but it is often further from the truth. You can't get away from your work... ever. There's this constant nagging feeling that I should be doing work even in my few hours of free time. *shiver*

The academic lifestyle does suit other very well. I guess it would just depend on your personality. Just be careful. Alot of people get stuck in grad school and never find their way out.

That being said, no, I don't enjoy being a perpetual student.
