Are you really doing something you love/enjoy for your career?

I now know if I do IT work I'm going to try and do as little work on PCs as possible. (Focus on just the networking/admin part of it, thats where the money is anyway) I used to enjoy coming home and tinkering with my box...now if my home machine doesn't work for even a second I about throw it out of the window in a rage.

QFMFT!!!!

I used to love my PCs and tinkering with them. Now because I deal with IT bs all day long, I don't want to touch my PCs when I get home, and if something gets messed up on one of them I want to destroy it with a pick-axe.

Very true. I almost never get on a computer at home unless I am working remotely. It tends to stress me out a little now.

i have worked for the same company since i graduated in college (2002) it's a Design firm and it's interesting, but i think i need more in a job..........the pay sucks, and benifits are non-existant, no days off other than major holidays. only perks are sometimes we have events that we get to eat fancy dinners with clients and stuff, that's good, but i need something more. just starting up my own firm (different type of design, as to not interfere with my current job) and going to take it one day at a time...hopefully in the future i can do my own design frim fulltime other than weekends/nights that i am doing now(pay sucks here too, so i need to restructure, and i like i can do that other than my current job where money talk is taboo).


edit::id not answer the questions

1. Sort of like what i do
2. doing my own thing is going to make me love my job.
