I've only worked one job (the one I'm currently stuck in). It's okay, but it can get pretty boring at times. On one hand part of it involves working on the company's website which I really enjoy. But the part I hate is technical support. You have to sit on the phone and tell people how to install their software (and usually the people don't know anything about computers and don't listen to what you are telling them). What's worse is when you get nasty, grumpy customers. Because the company done something wrong they expect you to fix it, and then get all abusive at you. I really hate that and try to tell them to relax, but they don't seem to like that.

What's worse is that it is in the finance/investment industry, and the customers are so "money orientated". So if they lose money on the share market they are even worse. All these people care about is money and that's it. And they expect you to think the same way which I do not.

Don't get me wrong, the company I work for is a good company and the people are great (well one boss is a bit strange sometimes), but I really don't want to be stuck doing this for the rest of my life. I'll probably try to look for something new after Christmas or am thinking of moving to the US and try my luck there if I can get a green card.
