RE: What you do for a living

Is it easy? Do you just follow a routine?

Or do you find it challenging?

Re: RE: What you do for a living

I am a litigation paralegal. It is easy and for the most part over 7 years it has become very routine. I look forward and love the challenging days!!

Re: RE: What you do for a living

I work with a bunch of crazy thieves!!!

Yes its a challenge to leave here sane everyday!

cake... i could do my job in my sleep

Re: RE: What you do for a living

Im an intake and staffing coordinator for a home health agency.

I am usually on auto pilot

Re: RE: What you do for a living

i work as an admin for a small 'family owned' company... it gets pretty dead here, so i try and keep myself occupied. but it does get very stressful, mostly because i feel like its me against them, and i'm constantly fixing their mistakes.

My dog could do this job.

Re: RE: What you do for a living

Its very challenging sitting on a couch all day long being unemployed...you have NO idea...

Re: RE: What you do for a living

there are different clients each day. and to be most productive, you need to be a go-getter....LIW has not helped in this case.....

i do marketing

Re: RE: What you do for a living

for me, it depends on the day ... my most recent project was so boring and mindless (mostly copying and pasting a gazillion times) .... but the project before that was challenging and i actually had to use my noggin.

Re: RE: What you do for a living

My job is very emotionally and mentally challenging. I don't think just anyone could do it....you have to have a backbone and be able to think on your feet to handle the clients that I have. You also have to be able to dissociate yourself, not personalize anything, and be as objective as possible, even when you completely disagree with things.

That's a good idea, make sure none of the brains ooze out all over the place

Re: RE: What you do for a living

lately my job has been so boring. i;ll have maybe 1 day a week that is interesting when im doing field work.

Otherwise, its boring. My boss tells me I need to come up with new projects. But im way too lazy!

Re: RE: What you do for a living

How about you Becca?

Re: RE: What you do for a living

I'm an admin for an electrical contractor. I could do my job in my sleep as I've been here for 4 years. Sometimes it's tiring and I'm ALWAYS fixing people's mistakes BUT other times I like it...just not the days where I'm bored...

The only challenging part of my job is not punching MIL in the face.

Regarding the work though, payroll is annoying, but not hard. Sometimes, I don't mind doing a simple personal tax return, but it's not challenging.
I don't handle the business returns, so I guess they're hard, but I don't care.

I am an interdealer preferred stock and bond broker. I am literally the only girl broker in my whole office. I love my job so much - it can be challenging working on only commission
