I learned that in general you posted the threads in order of most sucky to least sucky jobs.

I think I would be okay in most jobs and fields for a day, but a lot less would suit me long term.

I learned that the job satisfaction survey, part 1 is the most depressing questionnaire I've had to fill out in my life; and that all 5 surveys were quite pointless.

I learned that I don't like to work. Though I kinda knew that already.

I've learnt that my attention span really is that bad, I commented on the first two, read the third and had totally lost interest by the last one :blush:

I learned that I'm extremely thankful I'm self-employed.

Here were my average ratings for each of the jobs in each part:

Part I (simple jobs) - 6.0
Part II (skilled jobs) - 5.56
Part III (associate professionals) - 5.69
Part IV (experts) - 5.94
Part V (managers) - 6.0


I also learned what I already knew - that I like technical jobs that are not too hard. I also do not like stressful jobs at all, and I prefer to work alone.

I realized I like feedback from my job, I can benefit from co-workers, and I'll be bored alone. Also, I should make more use of my tolerance (even ability) for extraverted jobs. More, technical detail without human element requires too much left brain from me, it isn't good. Instead, I like a mix of creative / human element and technical / analytical element for greatest comfort.

This. Also that I enjoy "doing" jobs, and *not* management or bureaucratic ones. Not much of a surprise :rolleyes:.

I confirmed my previous understanding that I'd be OK doing any kind of job if I had to, regardless of how simple it was, as long as I can find a meaning and joy in it for the most part. And I also got a confirmation that I'd rather not work at all if I had any choice in it :)

My girlfriend is in pains to find a job quickly right now. Sad she hates the lowest level of jobs just as much as anyone in here.. it's a tough impairment not being able to enter jobs that are actually available :( Ok, she's ready to take some of those jobs. That's still something. If she had more time, she could choose carefully.. but that's not so.

How could people learn to tolerate things they hate?

I was promoted at work. I hated my new job. I just told myself in the October, give it to December. Come December, i told myself, give it to February. Come February i told myself give it to April. April came and i had forgotten about it and just got on with the job.
My job was tedious and repetitive but it was the people i worked with that made it more bearable. Oh and how we laughed so hard some days (esp when i would bring in donuts and we would be bouncing from the sugar rush at 9am, happy days) :)
