The job search and the jobs on the internet

[Moirae]

So I've been sitting here looking at the jobs on the net and it has occurred to me... I have absolutely no interest whatsoever in any of them. Even the ones I'm qualified for and have years of experience in. I just don't want to do it.

Anyone else have this issue when they are job searching?

Yeah, I think we all feel that way at one point or another of a job search

[Buzzard]

Job search is more work than most jobs I've had. (and usually far less rewarding)

I'm honestly at a point, both career and age-wise, that I like what I do.

But I look around the office, and I see people in their 50's, and I think to myself, "I want to be in a better position by then."

What I'd really like to do is either come up with a lucrative business that I can sell, or come up with a product that I can sell.

I feel the same way. I'm seriously thinking of going back to school and taking accounting. lol such a drastic difference from school the first time around, pastry arts to accounting. But I enjoyed accounting class in high school and I've done store paperwork at a few places I work and enjoyed it. Even literally wrote the book on how to do the paper work at once place, with colour coded diagrams and directions so detailed anyone who walked in off the street could do it.

I hate accounting with a passion but even I've been considering that. It would be alot more money and the chances of losing your job are small because everyone needs you. Plus trying to have your own business with it would be easier. I just feel like I'm being drummed out of the business I was in. Nothing, and I do mean nothing, appeals to me at all. I'm having a hard time finding the motivation. Businesses complaint about how they can't find sales people, and then they wonder why they can't keep them. Maybe they need to start thinking that its because they treat said people like dirt and pay nothing.

Mr Jedi finished his accounting degree last year and is now working to pass his CPAs. There are many different paths you could take if you decide to do accounting: tax, corporate, auditing....Once you graduate, you do have to work so many hours under a certified CPA before you can be licensed yourself. I don't have much of a head for numbers, so I've never really considered going that route myself.

But I feel your pain. I'm getting real tired of my job but I'm so specialized I'd have to go back to school and get another degree. Problem is I have no idea what I want to do instead.
