  USED to hate it lah... But later find that no point? Surely can find some reasons to love it? At least a bit lah... Hating your job is like hating your life... In turn hating yourself?

  I used to think a little like you? Love it or hate it, it's all a matter of perception... Read a book called 'Fish!' before?

  Just like me.... And I believe many others out there... But job sometimes is not only about passion and interest... Of course, it'll be great if you can get a job you LOVE and have interest in.... But it's also your financial source for most of us?
  
  SO.... Even if you can't get the job you love, you can always still GO for the things that you have interest in in your life?

  if the job is only abt my financial stability it will not be sustainable. i can only do enuff for the job, and not do well in it. it will be so sad.
  
  i believe in going for a job wich i haf passion for, can be proficient in, and it pays me enuff.
  
  yes i go for things in i m interested in in my life, but when i spend most of my living days in my job, wouldnt it be better if the job IS the thing i am interested in?

  Yes. My thought's the same. But sad or not, life goes on... And what worse it could be if you can't even financially sustain yourself?

  I believe in that too. But understand that though we might hold MANY beliefs in our life, it may not be necessarily reflected in reality...?

  Yes. Of course it would be BETTER. I believe not only you think in that way? Me too. And probably many others out there. But it's no 'perfect world' out there? If you can, GOOD for you... If you can't you can either continue to AIM for it or just make to do? The CHOICE is mainly yours?

  its hard to compromise. i rather keep on searching or go for second best than lead a meaningless life.
