Job appreciation.

@TracEy

You guys are lucky as hell.

I am an accountant- started my career at a tax firm working 65-70+ hours a week during tax time to get my “base knowledge” and am now working as a controller for a local construction firm that hired me to do clean up work and get their financial status back on track. I use my brain compartment 9+ hours a day at work for a mediocre salary. I absolutely love what I do and couldn’t imagine myself doing anything else in life, but I know I will continue to work day in and day out…

For 3 months after tax time last year I worked for a non-profit making really good money to do NO WORK… literally worked 4-5 hours a week… At the time I loved it, but 4-5 years of working at that job I wouldn’t have anything to add to my resume and would be so rusty. I am challenged at my job everyday and will be able to say I helped turn around a $35-30 million company on my resume.

I do get very jealous of all of you “staties” and those of you who say you don’t have to do much work at “work”… soak it up while you can!!!

/ kkk post!

I could never only really work for 3-4 hours a week. I would go insane with boredom.
