Why Do You Hate Your Job?

If you don't like your job or career, it's up to you to make the change. Don't anticipate that life will unexpectedly throw you your dream job, get out and look for it!
Like many of you out there, I am wondering the same thing. Where did my summer go? And, why am I fixed in this ice-cold office while there is pleasant weather to be had outside. For that, I don't have an answer.

Ok, yes I do, yes I do. To myself and everyone else, I have a prompt; we all chose it. Everyday we decide to go to an office, sit on our butts, and grumble about the despondent working conditions. (Revelation: I actually happen to love my job.) If you don't like what you're doing you have two options:
1. Stay in the job, recognize it, and be happy. (Otherwise, stay away from me.)
2. Find a different job.
Companies are not trustworthy these days and neither are people. If you don't like your circumstances, get out and network. Do your homework, investigate, talk to people, and spend a lot of time asking good questions.

No, I don't mean questions like:
• How many paid holidays are there?
• What is the salary?
• Can I sleep at my desk?
