Cdubyah Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I like what I do. Bills motivate me to get paid. I come home, because I really don't like where I work. Sleep because I can't go to work drunk.Repeat for next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dweezel Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Because I like to work with my hands, I'm a fabricator/welder and when the shop is slow I go in the office and do drawings and screw around with the designs. I love to build stuff from nothing and make it all come together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redbarron77 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Because after almost 20 years of doing it (IT), I am pretty good at it, and paying my bills is kinda important to me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin0469 Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 While paying the bills is important and necessary, I can't believe that's all you have. That makes it hard to feel like there's a purpose. If that's all you have, what does it matter if you don't pay them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbarron77 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 it's that damn eating habit I have....and liking to live under a roof....once you get used to it, you seem to get addicted to it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireman_343 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I love to drive fast, and being a firefighter lets me do that when responding to emergencies, plus I like to play with fire, sit on my ass/sleep and get paid for it, my days off, MONEY, etc... I wouldn't have it any other way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsuMj Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I make money so I can travel, but I like my jobs. The people are fun to be around (mostly), flexible hours, and my jobs are for a cause. The one, I work for a non-profit company that donates millions of dollars to the community every year - good, and the other i'm researching thermoelectic materials to help reduce dependence on oil. Feels gooooood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gump Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I've asked myself this many times. Often thought it would be better if there was no money. If i had a place to live that was paid off or just lived in the forest, I wouldn't mind just being a Grizzly Adams. But since i've been classically conditioned to enjoy electric, fast food, motorized things and hookers...i goto work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12oclocker Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Here's a potentially deep question: Why do you do what you do? I mean, what motivates you to go to work, come home, eat, go to bed and do it all over again?laying in the gutter and waiting for death just doesn't seem too appealing, and I get bored, might as well do something with my life. Also by having kids, I have to make sure they have a good life. cause when I was a kid life sucked bad, so we make sure there's does not.

PrincessPratt Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Here's a potentially deep question: Why do you do what you do? I mean, what motivates you to go to work, come home, eat, go to bed and do it all over again?I just covered "some" of this in the dream job thread but I just love what I do. I know that I am doing exactly what God created me to do. When you know that you are fullfilling your purpose there is a deep sense of contentment and security that you can't get from anyone but God. There are many, many other things that are on the horizon for me besides my medical practice but being kingdom minded keeps me going every day. We all make mistakes but knowing that each day brings a new beginning filled with grace and mercy wakes me up with a smile on my face every morning!

We all make mistakes but knowing that each day brings a new beginning filled with grace and mercy wakes me up with a smile on my face every morning!That's very true. I suppose I asked the question because while I totally agree with what you said, I don't feel like I'm accomplishing much. Not because I don't want to or because I'm lazy but I feel kinda like I'm in a dead end job, don't know many people around here because the job takes all my time (until very recently) and lost my girlfriend. Not looking for a pity party, just trying to figure where to go from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJC1000rr Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 The money, benefits and get to meet some cool people. I get to take 7+ weeks off a year, can retire in 22ish years with some serious $$. I get to have fun at work for the most part, but also get a lot of crap that makes me wonder wtf I was thinking. (getting sued is fun!)....But at the end of the day, its what I always wanted to do and feel good about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
