I love my job. It has its downsides too (1099, no benefits) but it is ridiculously chill. I work part time as a secretary for a small transportation company. I had minimal experience as a secretary but I'm a quick learner and have had no trouble completing any task required of me. There is not a lot to be done though.
I spend most of my days watching YouTube, scrolling thru reddit and taking pics for my social media. I do some work activities too but my only real responsibility on a day to day basis is dispatch and keeping the drivers assignments organized so they can do payroll accordingly.
My birthday was on Sunday and I had lunch with my grandparents. While we were catching up the subject of work came up and they started hassling me that I need to find a different job because this one isn't challenging me. Coming from my grandmother who has been a housewife for her entire adult life, and grandfather who was born into money and invested in stocks. They sent the kids to boarding school so they could travel the world. Were they ever challenged??
I was/am absolutely shocked. Why does my job need to be challenging? I make more than enough money working part time and because I am 1099 I can deduct basically everything as an expense for my “small business” and keep my total earned income down low enough to still qualify for state insurance. I actually bring home more than most teachers do after having spent a fortune on college. But no let me rush to go find a job where I can be a disposable unit being worked to the bone for less money because apparently that is what work should be. I don't fucking understand.
I don't think this is a forever career for me because I'm interested in cosmetology but beyond that, I'm also in no rush to leave. I cannot imagine anywhere else being this laid back, where I'm nice and alone 90% of the time doing whatever tf I feel like and getting paid for existing.
