smartass Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 came across some profiles mentioning they have a good job...just out of a curiosity...what do you consider as a "good" job? a good job isnt equal to a good enough job...to me. what you use to measure? add-on: so if you say a well paid...what does it mean? *to you* of course.

luckyphil247 Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 I would think a "good job" means that you are happy working for the amount of money you are being paid . So I guess a job that pays you more than you think you are worth is definetely a "good job" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuTieGirL Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 A good job for me would be : to be happy in the work place and its environment. Also well paid to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartass Posted June 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 a good job to me could be the one sharing the balance of the position i enjoy and provides a career development....with a pay that lets me worry where to go next on my holidays. :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joz_sling Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 a good job for me is something i can get enough money to enjoy my life such as traveling. but still that job should be not that bad...i must don't hate it. work is work. every job has a tough part eventhough u love it to death. u will never enjoy it 100%. i can't have fun while i'm working. it separates......

John Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 It would be something I'd enjoy working for, reasonable pay (so I have enough to save and spend a little on leisure/holidays) and a friendly working environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattayaDaz Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Funny when I hear about ''good job'' I always think of my parents.. They always told me to study hard so I would 'get a good job'. In their day a 'good job' was any profession that didn't involve manual or dirty work and generated respect from others.. So Doctor, lawyer, Bank Manager etc were all considered 'good jobs' of course though they carried high status there were many other jobs that were more exciting, fun and better paid.. many people tell me they'd love my job.. I get to travel, have lots of time off and get a good salary.... However like most things in life the grass is always greener on the otherside of the fence.. What they don't see is the hours spent travelling, the nasty hotels, the homesickness, being stuck with people you have nothing in common with... Of course I do get paid well and there are always sacrafices to be made if money is what you want... So guess to me a 'good job' would be one that I would still do even if I wasn't being paid.. Of course in reality there are many people doing jobs they love (scuba instructor, artist, photographer, writer etc) but recieving a very small pay packet every Month.. That is their sacrafice... So maybe once again 'balance' is the key... find something you don't mind doing and that pays well enough so you can have a comfortable life......

anenglishman Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 i always tell people who work for me that the definition of a good job is "waking up wanting to go to work". If that is not true it's time to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baboe Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 I agree with above post! Furthermore, since I started working 9 years ago, I defined for myself what I consider as a 'good' job. These are my most important criteria (in random order) : . good atmosphere at work (nice colleages, good infrastructure, fun environment, ...) . good renumeration (above industry average) . being intellectually challenged and being able to work with cutting edge new technology Due to a long illness recently, I added a 4th criteria : . above 'human' behaviour of the company and a boss with a lot of empathy I find all these things in my current job/company. I know I can earn double of what I have now elsewhere but the other criteria are not met there so I refused. Having said that, in a couple of years I will stop this work and try to become fully professional photographer :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anenglishman Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 A lot of people talk about empathy of the boss and it is important, no doubt. However, not all bosses can be good. Some are real assholes. Over time I figured u have to learn to manage ur boss. It got to the point where I began to tell people how to amnage me. If u can manage ur boss u can have a rewarding job even if the boss is not empathetic. On the subject of empathy and illness I do agree with baboe. I had to quit my job because of illness and I was treated inhumanly. I had 10 very happy years at this company but the way I was treated at the "death" leaves a biter taste in my mouth.

shortyg Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 A good job is one that you enjoy. I had a job where I got paid a lot more than I do now but I hated it. If you spend as much of your life working as I do you should enjoy your job. Money is not everything, I could work hard all my life yet achieve nothing except wealth. whats the point in that. I have known many people who have died early and did not get to do the things they wanted. Thats not gonna happen to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRISHCREAME Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Note to self: I did not disclose my client's assets (I see another joke coming from "assets"). Be familiar with BSA and Reg O before making comments about banking regulations or simply leave the banking to me (although I don't think anyone on TF could even open a checking account where I work, but I won't assume).

You should really learn to cut your losses and quit before making a complete fool of yourself... I tried giving you a hint, others won't be so nice.
