I actually like what I do but I feel like I will never survive on the salary here on LI
Also, it's hard to find jobs in my field..there are SOME that pay ok..but it is hard to find anything...and the good ones seem to go to those with many many years of experience.

Yes and yes.

I work in washington, dc and live around here

I am overpaid and underworked at a job I absolutely love.

It definitely IS possible and you should never settle for anything that doesnt make you happy!

I totally agree! I work for an association so we get a ton of benefits and I actually make decent money for a non-profit. I'm most definitely underworked which is why I'm on this site all day.

I love my job for the hours and that it's not demanding. I love the money too. It definitely came in handy for the wedding.

I actually kinda like my job. I work 5 min from my house. I get excellent benefits. I am in the union....which gives even more benefits. And the money isn't that bad. I would like more though.

I do NOT love my job, but I love the paycheck. I've been doing this for almost 20 years and I know if I were to start doing something different now, I'd have to take like a $20K paycut. Cannot afford to do that.

I like my job although sometimes you just need a break. You get very burnt. I am a respiratory therapist. Do I make great money...no, do I make decent money, yes.

Where are you a respiratory therapist at?

My job drives me crazy. I guess it's not the profession as much as the place I'm working in now. Sometimes it's hard to get up in the morning and go. Hence me sitting here at 6:45 in the morning on LIW instead of getting ready for work. I don't want to be too specific, but let's just say the pay is decent and I get summers off.

I like my job and get paid well, but not well enough to live the way I want to here on LI, unfortunately - I feel like I'll never get out of the debt I am in.... and forget about ever owning a home - my child is just going to know one rented place after another...

I get paid well, I like what I do, but I don't like my current company / boss / environment. But you can't have it all

I don't make a decent salary by any means, but a)I work part time while going to school full time and b) I LOVE my job.

I'm getting my masters in teaching, so I hear you about the good jobs being hard to come by. I guess it goes with every field of work. And I worry about being able to make it on LI too. It's hard.

I completely HATE my job. (Not my profession, but where I work) And the money stinks too. I'm trying so hard to find another place to work. But my DH loves his job, so I make peace with it.

You're not alone. I feel the same way sometimes.
