I did last year. I worked in a company that dealt with sneakers, clothes, and everything hype in the resale market. There was no work life balance there and I almost always found myself overworked. The people were young and toxic to have around so I quit after giving it a few tries. Today I'm back into the aviation industry as cabin crew working towards saving up for my flying license some day!
i’ve really hated all my jobs for the past 5 years, but it has nothing to do with the actual job, only because 57 year olds shouldn’t be doing the kind of work i’m doing. i would love to explain my book to you
I worked in IT that pays 150k a year, I hated my job because of all the stress. I quit and worked labour jobs that pays 35k a year thinking that repetitive jobs without mental stress would be better. After 2 months I quit and went back to IT. It's better to be stressed at work than being stressed thinking how to pay the bills.
I do hate my job, but I hated all my jobs I ever had. I'm in my mid 40ies now and realised that I'm just not the person for a job in general. I do have a PhD and I work a well paid corporate job as a scientist, but it drains me and wrecks my life, honestly. My private life fell apart and I stopped dating long time ago due to lack of energy and depression, which is very sad. I'm longing for early retirement, that's my only goal left. Escaping the rat race as soon as possible.
Well, maybe you just need to do one year of volunteering where they provide your food and a place to stay. To evaluate you values in life and see what truly makes you happy, and how you gonna make that possible
I am 43, I’ve loved to work but I hate not being free. That’s where I get the anxiety from. I need a part time job and in my country it’s hard to find. I haven’t worked or dated because I was a caregiver and my mom died so I gotta get back to finding something I will love. But I am having a much harder time now finding my new passion.
If you aren't happy, make a plan with & end goal & move yourself out asap from where you are currently. Don't wait to retire unhappy, unfulfilled & alone. Heck, if you need to, cut down on the hours of work or spend time volunteering with compassionate & selfless people for the unfortunate of society...that warms the heart & soul. I've yet to see unhappy people at a soup kitchen, a foodbank, or a boys & girls club. If you're not into that, pick a hobby & learn something new. I so hope I've been motivating enough for you to think outside the box you're living in. It's daring and scary, but it's worth it 💜
@@rosameijering5161 I did this already, more than 1 year. Worked on a farm. After that, I needed to earn money again and had to rejoin the rat race, which was like a cold shower.
@@myjourneytotruth My goal is early retirement and I have been saving 70% of my income over the past couple of years to achieve it. Volunteering might come afterwards, but first the rat race has to stop.
I quit my meaningless 6-figure design job to take care of my mother as she went through chemotherapy and radiation for the second time. As I continued to take care of her, so much hit home for me. I reflected on my life and realized how much corporate was sucking the life out of me. My mental health had been in the gutter for so long, and I was putting everything and everyone else before me. I just got used to chugging along, and accepting maltreatment, and my depression deepened. Eight months have now come and gone, and by the grace of God, my mother's condition has stabilized and she is getting continual treatment. She can walk again, and my dad will now be able to take care of her with ease. Now it's time to focus on myself, and hopefully regain interest in what I used to be passionate about. I have made the decision to return to teaching English abroad, as that was the last role that actually made me happy. The year I taught in Shantou, China was, and still is, the happiest year of my life thus far. Making a difference in another child's life is invaluable, and I hope that my time abroad will help me regain the me that I lost 11 years ago.
This really hits close to me since I hate my current retail job. I am underpaid and overworked. Crappy coworkers, managers, and customers. I’m saving up to start my own service business by next month. I just hope it all goes ok. Wish me luck everyone!
@Kat Baluglog Thank you Kat I appreciate your kind words! It is a cuddling business. I will be offering cuddling services for men and women. Everyone needs a hug sometimes especially in these time. I just love to hug and cuddle.
At 48, I can tell you that this is a massive realisation and the younger you are when you realise it, the better. Some people are just not made to work for others and others are fine with it. I wish I had known that and also had the opportunities (there were none) in my 20s. I only started working for myself in 2016 and I will never be able to recoup the financial losses.
I don't like my job as a teacher but then i tried another job and realized all jobs have there ups and downs. That's when i started appreciating teaching even if it's not the job i like.
I realized I don't need to love my job all the time, it is unlikely you will love any job all the time, but I need a job that suits me. Anything that requires me to be commuting every day and in an office all week will burn me out, I learned from experience, which is why I chose to pursue work that I could do from home and on my own schedule. If you know yourself you can figure out if your job suits you enough that it won't burn you out.
I was a technical engineering manager in my 30’s earning over $75,000, had crazy deadlines to meet, I was rude and crass to the guys in my team because of the pressure to deliver, 3 years ago I walked in to work and quit on the spot with ZERO regrets. I’m now in my mid 40’sand I drive a bus,I absolutely love it, I’ve always wanted to drive a bus, the money is good although I don’t do it for the money it’s all about life happiness. It’s nota Job to me❤
@@skyhappy I was head of a future diesel catalyst development department for the leading laboratory in Europe, I still to this day have emails from manufacturers, VW, BMW, Ford asking advice- mainly on where their testing/R&D processes are going wrong mostly down to lack of knowledge of the incredibly complex test rigs needed to replicate results without contamination, and the exotic metals and materials needed to prevent ingress from these catalyst (usually Ruthenium, Gold or Platinum) in to the rigs themselves, you see once you test a sample of powdered catalyst, any powder that comes in contact with the reactor made from( usually inconel 725) the whole reactor becomes a catalyst so you’ve just written off a million dollar rig! Anyway I help but I’m done with the grind and I’m happy….. be happy in your job and you,l be happy in life
Its too much imo,6 hours would be perfect for me,my life would change for the better,but 8 hours is just insane,plus i have another hour and a half to spend on comuting...Damn
I liked how the guy at 5:07 seamlessly expressed his appreciation to experiencing life and appreciating all the small things around himself. Being in that mindset is a joy.
What an awesome guy, yes. His idea of not trying to do better than our capabilities is also great, even though it is contrary to what's being pushed generally.
I’m 43 and I loved my first job as a nutritionist for twelve years, but because I’m a single mom raising two boys I decided to go back to school to pursue a more lucrative career. It wasn’t easy but I am now a Registered nurse and found out through the process that I love this job too! I think it’s all about finding the right employer, having a positive outlook in life and practicing gratitude!
How did you know you would love being a RN? Or was it a blind trial and error. I’m considering nursing as a career goal, but not sure if I’d like nursing as a position and if it will be stressful and fast pace?
@@20-NYCnurse educator here. Nursing is a blessing beyond measure. If you do it for the right reasons. Never boring, always interesting, heartwarming. 💕
In many ways, being "happy" is a luxury that has only existed for last hundred years or so. Depending on how far you want go back, but life was all about survival- you worked in a coal mine or were some laborer who took whatever someone would pay you, usually in horrible work conditions. If you want to go back just a bit further, you were tasked with having enough resources like food, water, shelter- to survive a winter, not worried about being happy. I think "happy" is mostly a state of mind and largely determined by what you focus on, but be grateful you live at a time where you actually the ability to do something about it if you're not. For many of those who lived before us, this was not really possible
Incorrect. The struggle to be happy has only existed that long. Happiness/contentment was built in with the old way of life. Survival WAS happiness.. existence WAS the goal, the only goal.
but the way our WEF government wants it, we will all...except for the few billionaires....become feudal peasants again working like slaves to pay the ever-increasing bills. No more cozy MIDDLE CLASS MAJORITY.
This was so encouraging. What the woman at 3:40 said was profound. The idea of taking some time to be unemployed and figure out what you want to do could be really valuable (if you can)
yeah I am gonna do that starting this year June .... made money the last 5 years in a job I dislike in a location I absolutely hate with every fiber of my being. one perk is I can just chill on passive income now and figure out what to do next. there are always pros and cons
I 100% agree with her. 3:40 In 2021 I made the decision to leave the work field that I worked in for five years to start something new. I’m grateful that I had a savings to allow me to go after passion and dream. Also a community (family) who supported me. Two years later and I could literally see my decision paying off. TAKE A RISK ON YOURSELF ✨
absolutely! when i was 23, i was young and desperate to have a shiny job, with a shiny title that came with a gloomy life. now im 30, i work independently and value my free time. i take time off all the time to regroup and move on if i need to. last October, i took no contracts and started an online business that started making me money the following month. i took another contract this month to make enough money to take more time being unemployed and following passions that can make me passive income.
This is what I’m saving up to do now. Be able to leave my job and just chill for a couple months without having to stress about money and figure out my next move.
I finished the video and what I can say is that for me no matter what they think they are happy for their jobs, no one really likes being a slave for someone. They may think they want money but in reality, it is the freedom that they are looking for. Endless control will hold back your happiness.
Criminally underrated RUclipsr, this video is one of the best I've seen on this platform. I like that it's not just content uploaded for people to mindlessly consume but to actually get people thinking about the question and their lives. Edit: Wow Sprouht has blown up! He only had 20k subscribers when I left this comment!
This man “just” talking to people but uncovering the deepest thoughts we have. At the age of 80 I an say that I’m happy, can still workout, think straight and have a very good relationship which makes us both happy. Thank you for your videos.
"You can only do the best you can do. STOP trying to do better. Can't exceed your capacity". That is one of the best piece of advices I have ever heard. I feel like greed for always achieving more is very prevalent in city life, but enjoying life should prevail over work. Shout out to my man for the advice!
I thought I should start my own business, but really never had the desire....i wanted all the money that came with a successful business, but didnt want to deal with ALL the nonsense.....i lied to myself, and regret that so much.....
As an Australian, I can honestly say that all the Canadians that I have met in my travels and at work have been so lovely. Down-to-earth and respectful.
Funny I worked in Canada over the years , basically just a suburb of the United States with 90% of the people living a mile over the border. Clubbing truckers and baby seals is really who they are
@@jerrygriffin7629 The actual statistic is 66% living within 100 kilometers from the US border, not one mile. All major cities (Toronto, Montréal, Vancouver, Calgary, etc.) are much more than a mile from the US border...
@@jerrygriffin7629 I've travelled a lot to the US and all across Canada, and both countries are actually quite different on tons of aspects, most particularly the province in which I live (Québec). Going from Québec to any US state looks like you entered into a different planet, while going to Europe is for me much less of a cultural shock. I think the provinces that are the most similar to the US are the Great Plains (Manitoba, Sakatchewan and Alberta) and Southern Ontario to some extent
I disagree with the last bit. You should always try to do better than you did last time, whether it's in work or life--this is what makes you grow as a person. I think giving that sort of advice is borderline dangerous and can send someone down the wrong path. People always underestimate their ability, so their "best" is usually not their 100%, and that can make people lazy and complacent. A famous example is if you asked everyone in the room to raise their hand as high as they can, they will do it. Then, ask them to raise it just a bit higher, and they will be able to do it, even though you asked them to raise it as high as they can the first time.
My govt job sucked the soul out of me. I had no time for friends, dating, hobbies, seeing my siblings or parents. I quit and I’m doing better taking smaller gigs while prioritizing my health and well being.
I really enjoyed this video. I think so many people (especially young people), are stuck in the "I need to save up to buy a house NOW so I will reach that life goal"....meanwhile, they hate their jobs and your job is part of your lifestyle. I would much rather find something I enjoy doing, get a hold of my lifestyle, than focus on buying a house, only to be miserable in that house, and still hate my lifestyle - AND be burdened by the house now, which creates more pressure of having to stay in that job as well.
I won't let my kids fall into the trap of thinking they need to go any traditional routes. I pray that their life brings them joy, not bringing some boss more money.
I love your channel. I'm an introvert and I hate being around people, but oddly enough, I just love the conversations that you have with these strangers.
Introvert like talking to people too, they just don't enjoy talking to people about stupid vapid bullshit. This makes extraverted ones complain that the introvert is a "snob", which they aren't necessarily--they're just not interest in incessant jibba-jabba about trivial inconsequential bullshit. I'm certainly not a natural introvert, practically the opposite, but my life has been really fucked up so I've spent almost my entire life in near-total isolation.
Look for what can make you happy even if it’s not where you want to be financially at the moment “of course I’m happy, family is everything” let’s grow be happy everyday is a blessing
If money is what you want, then be prepared to be depressed (unless you are passionate about the role/industry and have a desired career path). If you want to be happy then work-life balance is the holy grail (assuming you are able to make use of your free time and not just sit around being bored, which can lead to all kinds of mental health issues. Pick wisely and good luck. Life is never always up....that would be pointless. The duality of pleasure and pain is what is required to appreciate both. Good and bad dont exist without each other...how you play the balance is on you.
This is why at 19 I've decided to not go to university and instead get a qualification in fitness just because I enjoy it even though I might not be the best at it. This might be incredibly stupid, but it also might be the way to live a life I enjoy every day even if i get less money for it
Hmmmm is have a backup plan that includes an education because when you are up young, it’s easier to get school out of the way, but as you get older, it becomes a bit harder.
You're still very young. Try different things and aim your life towards that which you are passionate about. You still have plenty of time to "figure it out"!
@@SS-cu8se in the uk we have this thing called open university where you can get a degree to a phd all online in your own time thats kind of my backup plan
Yeah but if she doesn't know what to study in school don't waste your time doing university and changing your major and courses. I have a friend who is 29 and still in uni because she dropped out many times changed degrees and majors etc. She has a job and works as a manager for an online education-related company. Something about preparing student applications to ivy league schools. She loves her job and doesn't really need a degree.
Sometimes the job you love doesn’t love you back. Sometimes the job that you don’t think you’re going to love surprises you. Then, many times, it’s not even about the job, but the people you work with.
You cannot separate your job from your life. While doing what you are doing,prepare for what you really want. Get than training or degree or whatever is needed to get into your desired field, then build connections also.
Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance- wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life and this new year shall get you closer to your goals and open more opportunities to you
I tolerate my job, I don't love it. I love writing, I dot it every day after my shift, I want to be a writer in the future and I don't mind not receiving a single penny until there. Not only that, but I believe that doing what you love is very important as long as you can maintain yourself financially, and if it's not the case, work on something to earn money and do what you love on your free time.
There is a difference between profession and passion. Your passion is writing, which is an activity you love. Some luckily make that a profession as well but not doing so isn't end of the world.
Theres levels to this: If you hate the people you work with you cannot be happy. But if you like them and hate the task at hand you can compromise. People make the party. I think about this alot, even a dream job your going to have bad days thats life. And even a crap job you hate your going to have good days. Relationships with other people is what truly makes people happy thats why you can look back on life and some of your best moments you might not of had alot of money. So much goes into happiness , Spirtual fitness, Relationships with people, Health and finances. Those things only aline in streaks through out life. Enjoy those streaks while they last and thank god for another day.
I’ve been working in corporate Canada for about 7 years. During covid I decided to go back to school, so happy I did. Almost 3 yrs since covid initiated, glad I started
Thank you for this wonderful video!, I have incurred so much losses trading on my own....I trade well on demo but I think the real market is manipulated.... Can anyone help me out or at least tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I strongly advise you against self trading, it's really dangerous and had brought so many investors down, you need someone with the knowledge and strategies, someone dedicated to the crypto currency market business, and I will strongly recommend expert, Mrs Janet
Happy is such a transient state. Hate is such a strong word and i don't think anyone should do a job they "hate". There are usually aspects of any job that we don't like, but it's a trade off. They don't pay us to be happy and looking for that "Happy" job can be fruitless. Look for things that you do like and less about what you don't. Doing a job well and to the best of your abilities is rewarding.
Another way of looking at it is through an employee's perspective. It is important to do something or have a job that you feel happy doing. Of course, employers don't pay you to be happy. They pay you to do a job. But obviously, it would be a whole lot better and more fulfilling if they pay you to do a job that you do actually love.
@@jvkenshin416 That would be ideal, but if people only did jobs that they "loved", many needed services would vanish. Actually, it's happening now. There used to be a strong "work ethic" and people took pride in their workmanship.
I drive transport truck for now but sitting at home since last one week because I quit my job. I worked in different industries as well. But not more than a 3 to 6 months. Any new job I start I like it because it is new and I am learning which keeps me motivated. But once I learned the job and it become routine then I can't stand that job any more. Because I need constant growth and change and if I don't get it then I get kind of angry and stressed out and lose temper. Then I think the time has come and I find excuses to quit and then I do. I really salute those guys who worked and working in one company for years doing the same thing over and over again.
What the guy said at 3:50 I believe is quite valuable. Realistically, almost any work setting is going to suck. If you have a strong foundation outside of work, knowing how to make yourself happy otherwise. Being able to seperate the two lives, if the job can supplement your personal life and allow you to have/do the things you want, There's value in that.
I was in a job for 14 years I didn't like. I liked some parts of it but on a whole, the industry was toxic at a systemic level due to being underfunded. I transitioned and currently like my job because I started specializing in the industry. I returned to school part-time in the evenings and got a better one during Covid. A large part of my liking my job is the work environment's psychological safety. I learned that I can be good at something and not like it due to a toxic boss. They drain the company of its resources and productivity.
You can love your job but also not be in love with it every moment of every day. Same as a long term relationship or marriage, it can’t be fireworks all the time. There’s actual work involved and that comes with challenges and compromises and disagreements and stress. If that’s all you’re getting out of it then you for sure have to stop and reevaluate, but setting the expectation that you have to be happy all the time with your job, your partner or your life is just unrealistic and can cause greater unhappiness as a result.
Love this series, its wholesome but also thought provoking! I would love to see you get some key life advice from the older generations as I feel like the younger guys still have a rose-tinted or unrealistic view of the world.
I find it really interesting that a lot of people use their job as their persona.You need to look at work as aa way to make money, only.If your lucky you can pursue a career that you love. But We are more than our career paths ,but it is rare there is focus on this way of thinking. I remember reading that a person who visited Australia 🇦🇺, noted our way of thinking is differant to other western countries, in that at social events often the question of career is not brought up. There is plenty of work around, a1nd this is a wonderful advantage to the employee
The job is never controlled by a single person: market forces, customers, other employees, government regulations, economy growth and many other things and forces govern it together. Tying all this complexity to just your persona is madness.
I hated my job so much that I quit my career as a red seal journeyman plumber and journeyman class b gasfitter at the age of 35. Now I am a full time university student. I no longer see a future in Canada’s skilled trades. I don’t trust my employer, I don’t trust my government, and I don’t trust WCB anymore.
I really believe in the mentality of we work to live not live to work. I think work should be a means of getting by but never jeopardise your happiness, sanity or health as they’re far too precious when life passes us by so quickly. As I get older I’ve come to realise I want to wake up each day happy and work needs to contribute to that goal…. Therefore if I don’t like my job I don’t want to waste precious time being unhappy, I stop, reflect and look for something else that serves me and my happiness.
love it bro. And homeboy with the long hair's advice "you can only do the best you can do. Stop trying to live better" is so good. Man's mad handsome too
Everything the guy in the green had to say was such a breath of fresh air. I feel like he popped the balloon of any social media persona that portrays the false things they portray that leave so many of us feeling left out or behind.
I love the concept pf your channel. Your questions are authentic. And if we think of it, these questions are simple but if we are not grounded in our heart and we donlt know who we really are, that true authentic self inside, takes time to reflect and answer those questions.
ALL jobs are a misery. Life is short. Cut your expenses down, avoid debt, work the bare minimum as a self employed individual and ENJOY your time. Oh and live with parents if you can. If that's not an option, explore alternatives such as van life. The best things in life are cheap/free!
PRO TIP: Don't take career advice from anyone under 30. We all want to make a living doing what we love, but given the choice, pick money over passion. Passion wont feed/clothe/house your family. And if you stick to something long enough, you might actually become good at it, then you'll be surprised at how much satisfaction that gives you.
thats terrible advice. I make well into 6 figures doing engineering and there isnt a thing is this world I would rather be doing. If I got offered 50k more a year to do something else I most likely wouldnt. Im only 26. Heres an actual pro tip: Age is just a number and our life experiences make us who we are. I have met 40 year olds who give the worst advice you could hear, while even an 18 year old who went through hardship could teach me things I didnt know. Completely discrediting someone just because they are under 30 will significantly hold you back in life. you are never too old to learn from someone younger than you. If you love what you are doing and you aim to be the best at what you do then the money will come in most cases. I dont need to wait until im 30 to say I love what I am doing and can make a great lucrative career out of it.
Pro tip, Steve Jobs was 21 and Steve Wozniak was 26 when they founded Apple, Bill Gates was 19 when he founded Microsoft, Alexander the Great was already a seasoned commander in the Macedonian army when he became king at the age of 20 and by 30 he had the largest empire in history, etc, ever take career advice from anyone under 30 /s
@@BOSSDONMAN it doesn’t have to be engineering that was just an example but the point stands. There isn’t just one pathway to success, and success is also subjective. If you close your mind off from knowledge just because someone isn’t 30 that’s the dumbest thing you can do.
Imo reducing work hours can increase job availability, as tasks previously handled by one individual might require multiple employees. This distribution can lead to higher employment rates, increasing consumer spending and stimulating economic growth. As more people earn wages, demand for goods and services rises, potentially creating a virtuous cycle that further boosts the economy.
5:30 the little things I love that hippie ish guy. I took a lot from what he said. I always beat myself up but there’s no point to it. Just got to take a breathe and try things
I worked for the government for 15 years HATED it now I do renovation for myself yes it’s stressful for I live within my means and I LOVE IT! As Im pushing 62 will probably work till The End! Cheers 🇨🇦
All jobs that you do will have challenges and aspects you won't like. The idea is to find something that you can be good at and then teaching the mind that this is what I do best and I will enjoy it.
“As a Man Thinks, So He Is.” Happiness is a choice, found in appreciating life's goodness rather than questioning your joy. Tying happiness to external factors like jobs or wealth fosters dependency. You can seek joy within while pursuing other things without expecting they'll provide happiness. To be happy, understand why you're not. No person or possession can fix an issue you don't comprehend. Rather than blaming the world, shift your perspective. Most of us are just happy we have a job.
It's funny, I used to feel ashamed of the fact I couldn't work because of my disabilities but now I'm sooo happy I don't have to. Even though a lot of people think they would rather die than be disabled, I'm learning that my life has MORE "quality of life" than the people who think I have none because I can live out my own dream rather than the dreams of others. THEY are the miserable ones, not me!
Executive Manager here. I love my job and the pay! But the freedom of working in different locations (even home) is the greatest part of it all. Find what you love, life is too short.
Thank you for sharing this ideal in life... You made me laugh with the retired couple at the end of the video. They were so nice and they were still loving each other!!! Nice!!!!
I refuse to work at a job I hate. Life is too short to spend 1/3 of my day doing something I hate. I love my job, the people I work with and my patients. If/ When I start to hate it, I’ll know it’s time to move on.
Im a courier at Purolator and when I first started 5 years ago it was brutal long hours lots of stress working days and nights my job was alway changing physically demanding mentally demanding, up and down with the economy sometimes i barely was making enough to pay for my room food and gas. But eventually i figured out how to work in a big unionised corporation ,I did every job in operations that iam allowed to do, built seniority positioned myself in a good job got good at that job and now its pretty good i might even say I am happy. Youve just got to slug it out at the beginning and then position yourself for growth. If you have goals you are working towards and you are moving towards them then you can get through anything. Being happy is a choice. If life has no pain and struggle it would be meaningless. Adversity is what drives us to find purpose and growth
A subject that I am very interested in exploring is how to monetize your hobby.. It is literally impossible to be hating your job and be happy at the same time as we spend half of our waking hours in jobs. Therefore, the key to a fulfilled life is to figure out how to make a living from your hobby. Once you figure that out you will be the happiest person on planet earth.
Not all hobbies can be monetized. And it's very easy when someone pursue a hobby as a profession to be in the same boat as before. The reality of monitoring takes the fun of the passion once had.
Pay in Toronto is horrible and does not match its expensive cost of living. Rents keep going up and it is almost impossible to buy real estate. My goal is to move back to the US. Life is expensive there too, but the wages are higher and I can buy real estate.
I liked the accountant.1:12 He is present and doesn't think too much about his job. He likes it, but takes it in stride. Thats the best way to live. The lawyer was good too 2:03...she was sweet and sensible.
I don't liked my job now, but it brings food to the table and the bonuses I had with it helps me build my own house and travel. We just need to be thankful and grateful.
If you are unhappy with your job your life will not be very happy. The job takes up so much of your life. I didn't like my job very much but I stuck with it because the pay was good. I was not as happy as I would have been if I had a job I really liked doing.
There are lots of factors to decide whether or not I like a job. Some things I might like, some things I won't. All depends on what each person value. I think it will be close to impossible to find a job that you have zero dislikes of. Personally, schedule and coworkers are the biggest factors for me when deciding if I like a job or not. Right now, I like my schedule but hate my coworkers so it's hard to decide. I don't particularly have strong feelings regarding the responsibilities itself but those two things can make it or break it for me. That's why I decided to study again, hopefully to get into a different career. I hate and love change, but I feel career-wise I gotta change constantly to keep my sanity.
Quite a service you are performing. And I can't help but notice that you had to take the leap into the unknown in order to fulfill your destiny. Kudos!
Take away for me :. When your young you (still) like your job or think you like it. You havent been dissepointed and its your only focus. When Older you have more responsibilities and choose safety. If your happy or not depends on who you are as a person and the meaning you give a job. Being happy is a virtue. Just as i thought. To the boats!😊
Does anyone else think the pandemic and all that time alone has helped a lot of people work through things mentally and become a lot more wise? I could be wrong but I think it has
Have you ever worked in a job that you hated? What did you do about it?
Yeees you in Toronto my city
I did last year. I worked in a company that dealt with sneakers, clothes, and everything hype in the resale market.
There was no work life balance there and I almost always found myself overworked. The people were young and toxic to have around so I quit after giving it a few tries.
Today I'm back into the aviation industry as cabin crew working towards saving up for my flying license some day!
Found a new one, not worth dealing with toxic people on a daily basis…
Eventually leave like all of us
i’ve really hated all my jobs for the past 5 years, but it has nothing to do with the actual job, only because 57 year olds shouldn’t be doing the kind of work i’m doing. i would love to explain my book to you
I worked in IT that pays 150k a year, I hated my job because of all the stress. I quit and worked labour jobs that pays 35k a year thinking that repetitive jobs without mental stress would be better. After 2 months I quit and went back to IT. It's better to be stressed at work than being stressed thinking how to pay the bills.
key thing is to find a job you would love to wake up for... but i guess most people struggle to find that
For real?
Duh, yeah !

@@robertwalker5521 you’re right
I do hate my job, but I hated all my jobs I ever had. I'm in my mid 40ies now and realised that I'm just not the person for a job in general. I do have a PhD and I work a well paid corporate job as a scientist, but it drains me and wrecks my life, honestly. My private life fell apart and I stopped dating long time ago due to lack of energy and depression, which is very sad. I'm longing for early retirement, that's my only goal left. Escaping the rat race as soon as possible.
Well, maybe you just need to do one year of volunteering where they provide your food and a place to stay. To evaluate you values in life and see what truly makes you happy, and how you gonna make that possible
I am 43, I’ve loved to work but I hate not being free. That’s where I get the anxiety from. I need a part time job and in my country it’s hard to find. I haven’t worked or dated because I was a caregiver and my mom died so I gotta get back to finding something I will love. But I am having a much harder time now finding my new passion.
If you aren't happy, make a plan with & end goal & move yourself out asap from where you are currently. Don't wait to retire unhappy, unfulfilled & alone. Heck, if you need to, cut down on the hours of work or spend time volunteering with compassionate & selfless people for the unfortunate of society...that warms the heart & soul. I've yet to see unhappy people at a soup kitchen, a foodbank, or a boys & girls club. If you're not into that, pick a hobby & learn something new. I so hope I've been motivating enough for you to think outside the box you're living in. It's daring and scary, but it's worth it 💜
@@rosameijering5161 I did this already, more than 1 year. Worked on a farm. After that, I needed to earn money again and had to rejoin the rat race, which was like a cold shower.
@@myjourneytotruth My goal is early retirement and I have been saving 70% of my income over the past couple of years to achieve it. Volunteering might come afterwards, but first the rat race has to stop.
I quit my meaningless 6-figure design job to take care of my mother as she went through chemotherapy and radiation for the second time. As I continued to take care of her, so much hit home for me. I reflected on my life and realized how much corporate was sucking the life out of me. My mental health had been in the gutter for so long, and I was putting everything and everyone else before me. I just got used to chugging along, and accepting maltreatment, and my depression deepened.
Eight months have now come and gone, and by the grace of God, my mother's condition has stabilized and she is getting continual treatment. She can walk again, and my dad will now be able to take care of her with ease. Now it's time to focus on myself, and hopefully regain interest in what I used to be passionate about. I have made the decision to return to teaching English abroad, as that was the last role that actually made me happy. The year I taught in Shantou, China was, and still is, the happiest year of my life thus far. Making a difference in another child's life is invaluable, and I hope that my time abroad will help me regain the me that I lost 11 years ago.
Thank god, your mom is fine. ❤

Hey, how's your life now man?
This really hits close to me since I hate my current retail job. I am underpaid and overworked. Crappy coworkers, managers, and customers. I’m saving up to start my own service business by next month. I just hope it all goes ok. Wish me luck everyone!
Wish you all the best. Go for it!
@Kat Baluglog Thank you Kat I appreciate your kind words! It is a cuddling business. I will be offering cuddling services for men and women. Everyone needs a hug sometimes especially in these time. I just love to hug and cuddle.
At 48, I can tell you that this is a massive realisation and the younger you are when you realise it, the better. Some people are just not made to work for others and others are fine with it. I wish I had known that and also had the opportunities (there were none) in my 20s. I only started working for myself in 2016 and I will never be able to recoup the financial losses.
good luck man!
good luck, friend!
When man said he loved consulting I immediately thought - he's not been there long enough. Nailed it.
I don't like my job as a teacher but then i tried another job and realized all jobs have there ups and downs. That's when i started appreciating teaching even if it's not the job i like.
I realized I don't need to love my job all the time, it is unlikely you will love any job all the time, but I need a job that suits me. Anything that requires me to be commuting every day and in an office all week will burn me out, I learned from experience, which is why I chose to pursue work that I could do from home and on my own schedule. If you know yourself you can figure out if your job suits you enough that it won't burn you out.
@@ciaxx What kind of work do you do now, if you don't mind me asking?

I was a technical engineering manager in my 30’s earning over $75,000, had crazy deadlines to meet, I was rude and crass to the guys in my team because of the pressure to deliver, 3 years ago I walked in to work and quit on the spot with ZERO regrets. I’m now in my mid 40’sand I drive a bus,I absolutely love it, I’ve always wanted to drive a bus, the money is good although I don’t do it for the money it’s all about life happiness.

@@skyhappy I was head of a future diesel catalyst development department for the leading laboratory in Europe, I still to this day have emails from manufacturers, VW, BMW, Ford asking advice- mainly on where their testing/R&D processes are going wrong mostly down to lack of knowledge of the incredibly complex test rigs needed to replicate results without contamination, and the exotic metals and materials needed to prevent ingress from these catalyst (usually Ruthenium, Gold or Platinum) in to the rigs themselves, you see once you test a sample of powdered catalyst, any powder that comes in contact with the reactor made from( usually inconel 725) the whole reactor becomes a catalyst so you’ve just written off a million dollar rig!

I’m 43 and I loved my first job as a nutritionist for twelve years, but because I’m a single mom raising two boys I decided to go back to school to pursue a more lucrative career.

I think it’s all about finding the right employer, having a positive outlook in life and practicing gratitude!
How did you know you would love being a RN? Or was it a blind trial and error.

In many ways, being "happy" is a luxury that has only existed for last hundred years or so. Depending on how far you want go back, but life was all about survival- you worked in a coal mine or were some laborer who took whatever someone would pay you, usually in horrible work conditions. If you want to go back just a bit further, you were tasked with having enough resources like food, water, shelter- to survive a winter, not worried about being happy. I think "happy" is mostly a state of mind and largely determined by what you focus on, but be grateful you live at a time where you actually the ability to do something about it if you're not. For many of those who lived before us, this was not really possible
The fact that this comment has two likes and the other inane stupidity in this thred has hundreds says a lot about the current state of society.
Completely agree
Incorrect. The struggle to be happy has only existed that long. Happiness/contentment was built in with the old way of life. Survival WAS happiness.. existence WAS the goal, the only goal.
but the way our WEF government wants it, we will all...except for the few billionaires....become feudal peasants again working like slaves to pay the ever-increasing bills. No more cozy MIDDLE CLASS MAJORITY.
This was so encouraging. What the woman at 3:40 said was profound. The idea of taking some time to be unemployed and figure out what you want to do could be really valuable (if you can)
yeah I am gonna do that starting this year June .... made money the last 5 years in a job I dislike in a location I absolutely hate with every fiber of my being. one perk is I can just chill on passive income now and figure out what to do next. there are always pros and cons
She was surely really smart and deep. I loved her answers!
I 100% agree with her. 3:40
In 2021 I made the decision to leave the work field that I worked in for five years to start something new.
I’m grateful that I had a savings to allow me to go after passion and dream. Also a community (family) who supported me.
Two years later and I could literally see my decision paying off.
TAKE A RISK ON YOURSELF ✨
absolutely! when i was 23, i was young and desperate to have a shiny job, with a shiny title that came with a gloomy life. now im 30, i work independently and value my free time. i take time off all the time to regroup and move on if i need to. last October, i took no contracts and started an online business that started making me money the following month. i took another contract this month to make enough money to take more time being unemployed and following passions that can make me passive income.
This is what I’m saving up to do now. Be able to leave my job and just chill for a couple months without having to stress about money and figure out my next move.
I enjoy this series so much. Please keep on with this series! I’m 45, handicapped, miserable but also so truly blessed!
I’ve Lyme and ME - in the same boat with you! 😢
I finished the video and what I can say is that for me no matter what they think they are happy for their jobs, no one really likes being a slave for someone. They may think they want money but in reality, it is the freedom that they are looking for. Endless control will hold back your happiness.
So much yes

"You can only do the best you can do. STOP trying to do better. Can't exceed your capacity". That is one of the best piece of advices I have ever heard.

But you will never know what your full capacity is if you don't push yourself...

As an Australian, I can honestly say that all the Canadians that I have met in my travels and at work have been so lovely. Down-to-earth and respectful.
Funny I worked in Canada over the years , basically just a suburb of the United States with 90% of the people living a mile over the border. Clubbing truckers and baby seals is really who they are
Yeah to your face. Now behind your back...that's a entirely different story.
@@jerrygriffin7629 The actual statistic is 66% living within 100 kilometers from the US border, not one mile. All major cities (Toronto, Montréal, Vancouver, Calgary, etc.) are much more than a mile from the US border...
@@PG-3462 As I said ,
@@jerrygriffin7629 I've travelled a lot to the US and all across Canada, and both countries are actually quite different on tons of aspects, most particularly the province in which I live (Québec). Going from Québec to any US state looks like you entered into a different planet, while going to Europe is for me much less of a cultural shock.
I think the provinces that are the most similar to the US are the Great Plains (Manitoba, Sakatchewan and Alberta) and Southern Ontario to some extent
I really like the lawyer, real estate consultant and the guy who said, "do your best and don't try to do better than that".. droppin 💎's
I disagree with the last bit. You should always try to do better than you did last time, whether it's in work or life--this is what makes you grow as a person. I think giving that sort of advice is borderline dangerous and can send someone down the wrong path. People always underestimate their ability, so their "best" is usually not their 100%, and that can make people lazy and complacent. A famous example is if you asked everyone in the room to raise their hand as high as they can, they will do it. Then, ask them to raise it just a bit higher, and they will be able to do it, even though you asked them to raise it as high as they can the first time.

I really enjoyed this video. I think so many people (especially young people), are stuck in the "I need to save up to buy a house NOW so I will reach that life goal"....meanwhile, they hate their jobs and your job is part of your lifestyle. I would much rather find something I enjoy doing, get a hold of my lifestyle, than focus on buying a house, only to be miserable in that house, and still hate my lifestyle - AND be burdened by the house now, which creates more pressure of having to stay in that job as well.
Exactly!

Hello Katherine
How are you doing today?
I am a dentist, and for or me it's the opposite. I work 50-hour weeks by choice, but it's the nature of my work that stresses me out the most.
I love your channel. I'm an introvert and I hate being around people, but oddly enough, I just love the conversations that you have with these strangers.
Introvert like talking to people too, they just don't enjoy talking to people about stupid vapid bullshit. This makes extraverted ones complain that the introvert is a "snob", which they aren't necessarily--they're just not interest in incessant jibba-jabba about trivial inconsequential bullshit.
I'm certainly not a natural introvert, practically the opposite, but my life has been really fucked up so I've spent almost my entire life in near-total isolation.
Look for what can make you happy even if it’s not where you want to be financially at the moment “of course I’m happy, family is everything” let’s grow be happy everyday is a blessing
If money is what you want, then be prepared to be depressed (unless you are passionate about the role/industry and have a desired career path). If you want to be happy then work-life balance is the holy grail (assuming you are able to make use of your free time and not just sit around being bored, which can lead to all kinds of mental health issues. Pick wisely and good luck. Life is never always up....that would be pointless. The duality of pleasure and pain is what is required to appreciate both. Good and bad dont exist without each other...how you play the balance is on you.
i am now job 20 years now good job hepeey heppy job
I love these spontaneous interviews , this channel is super underrated keep going.
This is why at 19 I've decided to not go to university and instead get a qualification in fitness just because I enjoy it even though I might not be the best at it. This might be incredibly stupid, but it also might be the way to live a life I enjoy every day even if i get less money for it
Hmmmm is have a backup plan that includes an education because when you are up young, it’s easier to get school out of the way, but as you get older, it becomes a bit harder.
You're still very young. Try different things and aim your life towards that which you are passionate about. You still have plenty of time to "figure it out"!
@@SS-cu8se in the uk we have this thing called open university where you can get a degree to a phd all online in your own time thats kind of my backup plan
Do it,
it will never feel like a job, i did and am my own boss,
ps you can make good money in fitness 💪
Yeah but if she doesn't know what to study in school don't waste your time doing university and changing your major and courses. I have a friend who is 29 and still in uni because she dropped out many times changed degrees and majors etc. She has a job and works as a manager for an online education-related company. Something about preparing student applications to ivy league schools. She loves her job and doesn't really need a degree.
Sometimes the job you love doesn’t love you back. Sometimes the job that you don’t think you’re going to love surprises you. Then, many times, it’s not even about the job, but the people you work with.
You cannot separate your job from your life.
While doing what you are doing,prepare for what you really want. Get than training or degree or whatever is needed to get into your desired field, then build connections also.
Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance- wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life and this new year shall get you closer to your goals and open more opportunities to you

I tolerate my job, I don't love it. I love writing, I dot it every day after my shift, I want to be a writer in the future and I don't mind not receiving a single penny until there. Not only that, but I believe that doing what you love is very important as long as you can maintain yourself financially, and if it's not the case, work on something to earn money and do what you love on your free time.
There is a difference between profession and passion. Your passion is writing, which is an activity you love. Some luckily make that a profession as well but not doing so isn't end of the world.
Theres levels to this: If you hate the people you work with you cannot be happy. But if you like them and hate the task at hand you can compromise. People make the party. I think about this alot, even a dream job your going to have bad days thats life. And even a crap job you hate your going to have good days. Relationships with other people is what truly makes people happy thats why you can look back on life and some of your best moments you might not of had alot of money. So much goes into happiness , Spirtual fitness, Relationships with people, Health and finances. Those things only aline in streaks through out life. Enjoy those streaks while they last and thank god for another day.

Best rewarding job ever ❤
Happy is such a transient state. Hate is such a strong word and i don't think anyone should do a job they "hate". There are usually aspects of any job that we don't like, but it's a trade off. They don't pay us to be happy and looking for that "Happy" job can be fruitless. Look for things that you do like and less about what you don't. Doing a job well and to the best of your abilities is rewarding.
Another way of looking at it is through an employee's perspective. It is important to do something or have a job that you feel happy doing.
Of course, employers don't pay you to be happy. They pay you to do a job. But obviously, it would be a whole lot better and more fulfilling if they pay you to do a job that you do actually love.
@@jvkenshin416 That would be ideal, but if people only did jobs that they "loved", many needed services would vanish. Actually, it's happening now. There used to be a strong "work ethic" and people took pride in their workmanship.
1:21 "10 years of working there and you're just starting to like it now?" You got that guy thinking and probably changed his life
49 years together! Wow, God bless those two❤
I drive transport truck for now but sitting at home since last one week because I quit my job. I worked in different industries as well. But not more than a 3 to 6 months. Any new job I start I like it because it is new and I am learning which keeps me motivated. But once I learned the job and it become routine then I can't stand that job any more. Because I need constant growth and change and if I don't get it then I get kind of angry and stressed out and lose temper. Then I think the time has come and I find excuses to quit and then I do. I really salute those guys who worked and working in one company for years doing the same thing over and over again.
The only thing I hate about my job in Canada is government taking half of the earnings in taxes.
What the guy said at 3:50 I believe is quite valuable. Realistically, almost any work setting is going to suck. If you have a strong foundation outside of work, knowing how to make yourself happy otherwise. Being able to seperate the two lives, if the job can supplement your personal life and allow you to have/do the things you want, There's value in that.
I was in a job for 14 years I didn't like. I liked some parts of it but on a whole, the industry was toxic at a systemic level due to being underfunded. I transitioned and currently like my job because I started specializing in the industry. I returned to school part-time in the evenings and got a better one during Covid. A large part of my liking my job is the work environment's psychological safety. I learned that I can be good at something and not like it due to a toxic boss. They drain the company of its resources and productivity.
I like the energy of all of them especially the real estate consultant . And that restaurant couple is hot af.
You can love your job but also not be in love with it every moment of every day. Same as a long term relationship or marriage, it can’t be fireworks all the time. There’s actual work involved and that comes with challenges and compromises and disagreements and stress. If that’s all you’re getting out of it then you for sure have to stop and reevaluate, but setting the expectation that you have to be happy all the time with your job, your partner or your life is just unrealistic and can cause greater unhappiness as a result.
Love this series, its wholesome but also thought provoking! I would love to see you get some key life advice from the older generations as I feel like the younger guys still have a rose-tinted or unrealistic view of the world.
The comment about incrementally improving your life is very true.
I find it really interesting that a lot of people use their job as their persona.You need to look at work as aa way to make money, only.If your lucky you can pursue a career that you love. But We are more than our career paths ,but it is rare there is focus on this way of thinking. I remember reading that a person who visited Australia 🇦🇺, noted our way of thinking is differant to other western countries, in that at social events often the question of career is not brought up. There is plenty of work around, a1nd this is a wonderful advantage to the employee
The job is never controlled by a single person: market forces, customers, other employees, government regulations, economy growth and many other things and forces govern it together. Tying all this complexity to just your persona is madness.
That one dude with the long hair has a great outlook on life.
Brilliant concept man. Wholesome conversations with authentic people. Keep it up!
Randomly came across this video, love these kinda videos about strangers gives a feeling everybody feels the same just look different
I hated my job so much that I quit my career as a red seal journeyman plumber and journeyman class b gasfitter at the age of 35. Now I am a full time university student. I no longer see a future in Canada’s skilled trades.
I don’t trust my employer,
I don’t trust my government, and I don’t trust WCB anymore.
I really believe in the mentality of we work to live not live to work. I think work should be a means of getting by but never jeopardise your happiness, sanity or health as they’re far too precious when life passes us by so quickly. As I get older I’ve come to realise I want to wake up each day happy and work needs to contribute to that goal…. Therefore if I don’t like my job I don’t want to waste precious time being unhappy, I stop, reflect and look for something else that serves me and my happiness.
love it bro. And homeboy with the long hair's advice "you can only do the best you can do. Stop trying to live better" is so good. Man's mad handsome too

I think i speak for everyone when i say that this video turned out to be way more wholesome than i thought it was gonna be.
Really enjoy these vids! Cool to interview regular people and get individual takes on important questions.
I love the concept pf your channel. Your questions are authentic. And if we think of it, these questions are simple but if we are not grounded in our heart and we donlt know who we really are, that true authentic self inside, takes time to reflect and answer those questions.
ALL jobs are a misery. Life is short. Cut your expenses down, avoid debt, work the bare minimum as a self employed individual and ENJOY your time. Oh and live with parents if you can. If that's not an option, explore alternatives such as van life. The best things in life are cheap/free!
So true all jobs wear you down. What kind of self employment?
The couples vibe made me happy honestly
PRO TIP:
Don't take career advice from anyone under 30.
We all want to make a living doing what we love, but given the choice, pick money over passion. Passion wont feed/clothe/house your family. And if you stick to something long enough, you might actually become good at it, then you'll be surprised at how much satisfaction that gives you.
thats terrible advice. I make well into 6 figures doing engineering and there isnt a thing is this world I would rather be doing. If I got offered 50k more a year to do something else I most likely wouldnt. Im only 26. Heres an actual pro tip:
Age is just a number and our life experiences make us who we are. I have met 40 year olds who give the worst advice you could hear, while even an 18 year old who went through hardship could teach me things I didnt know. Completely discrediting someone just because they are under 30 will significantly hold you back in life. you are never too old to learn from someone younger than you. If you love what you are doing and you aim to be the best at what you do then the money will come in most cases. I dont need to wait until im 30 to say I love what I am doing and can make a great lucrative career out of it.
Pro-tip - Don't take advice from this person xD
Pro tip, Steve Jobs was 21 and Steve Wozniak was 26 when they founded Apple, Bill Gates was 19 when he founded Microsoft, Alexander the Great was already a seasoned commander in the Macedonian army when he became king at the age of 20 and by 30 he had the largest empire in history, etc, ever take career advice from anyone under 30 /s
@@Mral236d Very few people are actually passionate about engineering though. Many go into it due to job/career prospects.
@@BOSSDONMAN it doesn’t have to be engineering that was just an example but the point stands. There isn’t just one pathway to success, and success is also subjective. If you close your mind off from knowledge just because someone isn’t 30 that’s the dumbest thing you can do.
Imo reducing work hours can increase job availability, as tasks previously handled by one individual might require multiple employees.
This distribution can lead to higher employment rates, increasing consumer spending and stimulating economic growth.
As more people earn wages, demand for goods and services rises, potentially creating a virtuous cycle that further boosts the economy.
5:30 the little things
I love that hippie ish guy. I took a lot from what he said. I always beat myself up but there’s no point to it. Just got to take a breathe and try things
That's exactly what I thought too. He was my favorite too. He really gives a good vibe and is very appreciative of just being alive like he said.
I worked for the government for 15 years HATED it now I do renovation for myself yes it’s stressful for I live within my means and I LOVE IT!
As Im pushing 62 will probably work till The End!
Cheers 🇨🇦
I really like that you don't come on with ads.
All jobs that you do will have challenges and aspects you won't like. The idea is to find something that you can be good at and then teaching the mind that this is what I do best and I will enjoy it.
Good questions and answers from everyone great job Will
Thanks Marlene!
“As a Man Thinks, So He Is.”
Happiness is a choice, found in appreciating life's goodness rather than questioning your joy. Tying happiness to external factors like jobs or wealth fosters dependency. You can seek joy within while pursuing other things without expecting they'll provide happiness. To be happy, understand why you're not. No person or possession can fix an issue you don't comprehend. Rather than blaming the world, shift your perspective.
Most of us are just happy we have a job.
It's funny, I used to feel ashamed of the fact I couldn't work because of my disabilities but now I'm sooo happy I don't have to. Even though a lot of people think they would rather die than be disabled, I'm learning that my life has MORE "quality of life" than the people who think I have none because I can live out my own dream rather than the dreams of others. THEY are the miserable ones, not me!
Great man ✊🥳
How do you get money for your bills?
Executive Manager here. I love my job and the pay! But the freedom of working in different locations (even home) is the greatest part of it all. Find what you love, life is too short.
The "less shitty" theory is solid, props to the guys there! And thanks for the video!
Thank you for sharing this ideal in life... You made me laugh with the retired couple at the end of the video. They were so nice and they were still loving each other!!! Nice!!!!
I refuse to work at a job I hate. Life is too short to spend 1/3 of my day doing something I hate.
I love my job, the people I work with and my patients. If/ When I start to hate it, I’ll know it’s time to move on.
Im a courier at Purolator and when I first started 5 years ago it was brutal long hours lots of stress working days and nights my job was alway changing physically demanding mentally demanding, up and down with the economy sometimes i barely was making enough to pay for my room food and gas. But eventually i figured out how to work in a big unionised corporation ,I did every job in operations that iam allowed to do, built seniority positioned myself in a good job got good at that job and now its pretty good i might even say I am happy. Youve just got to slug it out at the beginning and then position yourself for growth.
If you have goals you are working towards and you are moving towards them then you can get through anything. Being happy is a choice.
If life has no pain and struggle it would be meaningless. Adversity is what drives us to find purpose and growth
"I'm an Accountant" "I forgot to count"
A subject that I am very interested in exploring is how to monetize your hobby.. It is literally impossible to be hating your job and be happy at the same time as we spend half of our waking hours in jobs. Therefore, the key to a fulfilled life is to figure out how to make a living from your hobby. Once you figure that out you will be the happiest person on planet earth.
Did that about 25 years ago. Now I hate my job AND my former hobby
Not all hobbies can be monetized. And it's very easy when someone pursue a hobby as a profession to be in the same boat as before. The reality of monitoring takes the fun of the passion once had.
6:27 ngl he snapped. Spoke to my soul
I hate every job.. I can work I just would rather be free and wake up doing what ever I want to do
the dudes who admit they hate their jobs without blurring out their face clearly can never be fired
Pay in Toronto is horrible and does not match its expensive cost of living. Rents keep going up and it is almost impossible to buy real estate. My goal is to move back to the US. Life is expensive there too, but the wages are higher and I can buy real estate.
I liked the accountant.1:12 He is present and doesn't think too much about his job. He likes it, but takes it in stride. Thats the best way to live.
The lawyer was good too 2:03...she was sweet and sensible.
He’s Asian , typical meh attitude. Same with the other Asian
The accountant that forgot to count. Something's a bit suss with what he's saying but he seems like he couldn't get depressed kinda person 😅
I don't liked my job now, but it brings food to the table and the bonuses I had with it helps me build my own house and travel. We just need to be thankful and grateful.
I like the coffee guy so much, he's my go-to vibe
There is a saying that says "those who say they love their job or they haven't never really been in love or they haven't really worked"
If you are unhappy with your job your life will not be very happy. The job takes up so much of your life. I didn't like my job very much but I stuck with it because the pay was good. I was not as happy as I would have been if I had a job I really liked doing.
There are lots of factors to decide whether or not I like a job. Some things I might like, some things I won't. All depends on what each person value. I think it will be close to impossible to find a job that you have zero dislikes of. Personally, schedule and coworkers are the biggest factors for me when deciding if I like a job or not. Right now, I like my schedule but hate my coworkers so it's hard to decide. I don't particularly have strong feelings regarding the responsibilities itself but those two things can make it or break it for me. That's why I decided to study again, hopefully to get into a different career. I hate and love change, but I feel career-wise I gotta change constantly to keep my sanity.
Great content man. Keep up the good work💯
Quite a service you are performing. And I can't help but notice that you had to take the leap into the unknown in order to fulfill your destiny. Kudos!
3:22 my man switched from real estate consultant to lawyer mid interview, what a legend
Lol
Take away for me :. When your young you (still) like your job or think you like it. You havent been dissepointed and its your only focus. When Older you have more responsibilities and choose safety. If your happy or not depends on who you are as a person and the meaning you give a job. Being happy is a virtue. Just as i thought. To the boats!😊
Does anyone else think the pandemic and all that time alone has helped a lot of people work through things mentally and become a lot more wise?
I could be wrong but I think it has
I agree with the blonde guy in the green hat. Life is like baking a cake, it takes time to bake so let it bake!😂
