I'm in a similar situation - I'm doing contract consulting and I've been in the same (very boring) position for almost a year now, with no end in site. However, the people are nice, the atmosphere is relaxed and I try to remind myself, like your friend says, that "have it made." Well, thanks, Telly!

I linked from Four Pillars and am I glad he mentioned this post...it made my day! One of my really good friends is an ex-coworker. She reminds me every time I see her that I should NEVER quit my job, because as she reminds me, "you have it made". Sure my job is boring (with a capital B) most days but my coworkers are some of the best you could ask for (including my boss!) and hey, my pay cheque ain't so bad either. :) So thanks for reminder of how good things really are. It's always nice to head into the Christmas break with a positive attitude instead of the usual 'I can't wait to be out of this hell hole for the next 10 days!' Now excuse me while I go buy my boss a nice Christmas gift. :) Great, great post!!! I linked from Four Pillars and am I glad he mentioned this post…it made my day!

We must always try to see the good in everything. I have gotten through a lot of "miserable" times, with a conviction that this bad has happened because of a reason and being sure that some good will come out of it. Same with miserable careers. I am gratified by Deepali's positive outlook. This is a great post.

My husband recently, as in 2 days ago, decided not to pursue a job oppty that was pursuing him, despite not being very happy at work. Tonight I read him your 9 points and he said they were excellent points and helped validate his decision. Thanks! Great post! Steve, this post could not have come at a better time.

I'm so glad you liked the post enough to comment - that's what it's all about as a blogger, after all, getting people to participate in the conversation! I agree with your points completely - not everyone can escape at age 20. Sometimes you have to put in a few years (and by few, I mean 20)!
