Not easy

Wel, im trying to get in to the working life, but its not that easy.
its hard to find something that i whould like to work with, this country has almost entierly offshore and industry jobs. ive done that and didnt like it too much.
So now i want to try out security, ive applied in Securitas and others.
but i like IT and comunications too, so im stuck between making ALOT of money and a MOUNTAIN of money. but then u think its not the money that counts, its the job that matters and that u like what u do.

but i kinda disagree, yes the job is ofc very important, but if u have your dream job and make ****** money u wil probably find a new job in a while. well im going back to work becous im tired of sitting at home not doing anything, just getting fat:S
but i dont want any job cous i get quickly bored and need to be kicked in the ass somethimes . i need a job i like and can have fun with, thats not the same every day, then i will go mad and quit.

so that my dillema, to just work or have a good and suitable job for me.:wtf:

Believe me, there is nothing wrong with "just working." Nothing at all. I wouldn't describe my job as being my dream job. But it enables me to do many of the things I want to do. You see, I don't look to my job to provide fulfillment. Sometimes I think with all this emphasis on fulfillment and satisfaction and happiness we are raising expectations to the point where they are no longer realistic.

However, if you have bigger ambitions, then you need to have the skills to go with them. And you need to sell yourself. You need to persuade whoever is in charge of hiring that you are the best person that they can get. Because there's an awful lot of competition out there. This is one area you can't be laid back in and hope to succeed.

What kind of skills do you have? What kind of education? Do you have goals? These are things that come up in interviews all the time. If you are applying to a company, do you know what they do? You'd be surprised how many people come to me asking if I can get them into where I work because they need a job and they heard my company is hiring--but they haven't a clue as to what that company does or what the requirements are. As if simply "needing" a job is enough. Well, it's not. If you have IT skills, that's very good. I do data entry type stuff. It's not terribly exciting but it keeps the roof over my head, clothes on my back and food in my belly and sometimes there's a bit extra to have a little fun with. And I count myself very lucky and grateful that I have that.

No, it is not easy. I don't know where we got the idea that things were supposed to be "easy". They're not. This life is just as rigged against us as a Vegas casino, whether you believe in God or believe in chance. The paradox is that once you start accepting that reality and start working with it instead of fighting against it and trying to make it something it's not, things do start getting smoother.
 
Thank you for your insight :) i have to agree with you on this i really do.
maby all i needed was for someone to explain it to me like you did.
