My job is very good for me on paper. I get paid well (commission), my hours are extremely flexible, I very rarely have to interact with people.
The issue comes in that it feels too personal. Im like an assistant without going into details. If I quit, I fuck over my boss pretty badly, and he’s been decent to me. If I quit, I know I won’t be able to find another job that pays me this well and offers this type of flexibility.
I’ll list some cons now:
– I have to commute on far on occasion
– I don’t get an option for insurance
– I can get injured
– VERY direct line to my boss, if I fuck up his whole business can go down. It’s a lot for me
– Everything HAS to be done an exact way. No room for error
– this isn’t a line of work I want to do forever, it’s just something that pays well enough for me to survive on my own
– I’m technically self employed so I pay my own taxes
– if something goes wrong, it’s my fault, no matter what it is
I’m aware I have it pretty well. I just get very freaked out when I feel like I’m backed into a corner, like there’s no way out if I need to get out.
