motivation to work jobs you don't like?

[Magna]

My father turned his gardening hobby into a business 10 years ago. He sells heirloom tomatoes at the farmer's market and sells starts to budding gardeners. It took a while for him to find his niche (heirlooms) but he's certified master gardener and I keep bugging him to consult for new gardeners, but he's happy doing it his way so I won't stop him. I was his assistant for 4 years and helped convince him to become a business.

The general thread touches a nerve for me. I realized this week that I can to single parenting and school, single parenting and the right job (yet to find it), or the right job and school. Can't do all three, though. Single-parenting, school, and the right job? Not gonna happen. Preparing to quit my job at a warehouse and live off welfare and my tax return. If it was just me, I'd live in a van. But it's not, so.

I'd rather live very frugally than work at a job that sucks my soul, though. Use my problem-solving skills to figure out ways to live on less.

Thank you for sharing that info about your dad. I appreciate it. I hope you're able to work out something that balances what you need to and what you want to do!

Most are doing it, among a few reasons, to put food on the table, support those around them in a financial sense and avoid going homeless. Tolerating and cooperating with people you'd rather not be around along with doing things you don't like, whether in a job environment or otherwise, is an unavoidable part of life if you wish to achieve your goals.
