Do you have your dream job or just working to pay the bills?

[yannuh]

just working to pay the bills. haha. sobrang OK ang work-life balance dito kasi i get to leave the office on time everyday (except for urgent meetings/calls with clients). hindi din mahirap yung work pero this is not my dream job. gusto ko nga ngayong maging wedding coordinator or hotel/resto manager

[ficklemind]

not my dream job, problem ko hinde ako sure ano ba talaga dream job ko 
so i'll just work to get my dream salary or dream salary na lang for my hubby para hinde na ako magwowork 

I'm working to help my husband, maging comfortable ang buhay, mamaintain ang lifestyle.
If hubby will take care of all our bills & mortgages magiging just enough na lang ang budget, wala ng savings, hinde man lang kami makapagdate!
 At least may work ako, may panglakwatsa kami and pang luho ko at nakakasave kahit papano.

[khaleesiCersei]

Kind of or so i thought haha. Pero ok na rin, malaki improvement ng salary kesa sa previous work ko. Thankful pa rin ako and my plan is to get as much experience as i can para makapag apply sa iba hehe

[poems and petals]

Just not to be seen as tambay. I really do not know what I want. Yun lang kasi ang related sa course ko na medyo may kaunting interes ako.

[tischarmedlife]

Just to pay the bills. Dream ko talaga maging teacher. 

[SaffiyahEnglish]

To pay the bills pa lang siguro ngayon. 1st job ko toh eh at nangangapa pa. Syempre gusto ko dumating sa point na andun ako sa dream job ko at kumikita

[lonely_dad]

di ko masabing dream job/business but i like what im doing
sarili ko oras ko wala akong boss
the income pays for the bills btw

[rarity]

close to my dream job but I have another dream job  . also working to pay the bills lol 

[yn061515]

Definitely not working on my dream job just yet, but it pays the bills... so?

Too young pa din naman and it's not that easy to change jobs here kasi your current company should give you a release/permit to change jobs which is very unlikely to happen. One has to wait/work for 5 years muna before you can freely change jobs.

3 1/2 years left and I'll be 30 by then... I would really go after my dream job when I get there.

Although  my current job isn't bad at all. I work for a reputable company that has been in this country for more than 40 years already. It is not even owned by a local so imagine how well established and stable it is. It is a privilege to work here but still, it isn't my dream and I am happy but I can never really be fully happy until I get my dream job. This job pays well though... For now, and in the next 3 1/2 years, I guess I can live with that.

5 years ago na pala yung post ko dito and I'm still on the same boat. Extra income lang yung kinikita ko and mostly pangluho dahil may full time work naman ang husband ko enough to support our needs. Di ko pa rin alam gusto ko haha. I guess stuck na lang ako sa comfort zone sa online home-based work.  Besides, it might be too late to begin a "career" at my age.

[Drax]

It pays for only part of the bills 

[cupcakejane]

I have my dream job but its not without stress 

[thinkbubble]

this was my dream job, but now that i'm living in it nakakaloka. since i was little i knew that this is the industry for me. i enjoy the perks, but the stress level is just so high.

[MoonshineLady]

dream company but not the dream job / position. if only i could level up in position or maybe transfer to another dept. ang hirap lang kc stiff ang competition and malakas ang pulitika. and yes i feel im working only to pay the bills   

[avitot]

I have my dreamjob but still living to pay the bills. 

[Carecare]

i can say that i this is my dream job already though definitely not my dream salary but lucky enough our firm offers fast track career growth like in 7 yrs nasa director level na ko. They also offer good training background (with annual trainings locally, but when you reach the managerial role, may 1 time training abroad). They also have good mobility program since global company sya and fortunately din, I was sent to US for 2yr training kaya lang with service bond upon returning. Okay na okay sana even the nature of work which i really like ang cons nga lang is super liit ng sahod and benefits and stressful and extended working hours. Pero thankful padin kasi wala naman talagang perfect job/company, parefer ako if meron kaung alam heheh.

[cosmochick]

Just working to pay the bills... not that I'm complaining. Super relax ng work ko and it pays well but my dream has always been to own and manage a coffee shop or a restaurant.

[hisana]

My true dream job is to be a bestselling novelist, so yeah, I'm just working to pay the bills. Even if I end up becoming some sort of superstar in my field (which is nowhere near related to my dream job), it would probably still only be about the money.

[marywater]

Nice thread.

If you're working to pay the bills, are you guys still making an effort to get your dream job? If yes, can you share?

[Ms. Undecided]

Dream job is to be a movie director or writer. End up sitting in front of computer canvassing and purchasing items in our office hayysss
