So are you happy with your life? Are you doing what you want for a living? What would you change to make your life better?

I love my life, but my job is making me question what i really want in life.
I am good at what i do, but i always wonder what else is out there. is this the right thing for me?! :(
I wish i could get a sign telling me what the right thing for me to do would be.

For the most part I am happy. I currently live with a girl I love and have a job in my field of choice. The only thing I want to improve is my job status, I want to move up and perform up to my true potential.

I made over 70,000 last year, and no I'm not at all happy with what I do for a living.

I am happy with my life though.

I recognize my good fortune and am grateful for it.

I believe that I daily have the opportunity to change my life for the better. It's the doing that is difficult. I'll get there, it's just been a hard row the last little bit, I'm working toward my eventual goal, and I do think that in order to make any meaningful advances in life one must do what one loves.

So are you happy with your life? Are you doing what you want for a living? What would you change to make your life better?

Yes, I am happy w/ my life. No, I am not doing what I want to for a living; but I am going to school part-time and attending school part-time, so it's all a means to an end IMO :)

I am mostly happy with my life.

I'm a softwre engineer. It's hit and miss in terms of enjoyment depending on my current assignment.

The one thing I wish I could change is soemthing I am woprking on. Financial independance. Knowing that if I loose my job, I won't give one hoot. I want to pay off all my debt and have $1M+(adjusted for inflation of course) in 11-16 years. 16 years should be possible. I esswentially want retirement to be an option when I am 45.

Yes.
Don't know. It pays the bill.

Could be better but could be worse. I'm thankful.

wow I did'nt realize so many people were in the same boat as me. My personal life is great but I hate my job at the moment. Hmm this gives me an idea for another thread.
