See, I bet your job is rewarding sorting out peoples problems for them. You do that full-time?
i work mon-fri, 8:00-13:00. then i go to the university and i get home around 20:00 or 21:00. if it's rewarding??? it is if you consider RD$8000.00(US$250.00) a month, then yes.

Well first of all I think your job should be something you enjoy doing.
I have often thought that if you can turn something you like doing or your hobby, into a business then that would be the ideal career because you wouldn't mind spending the extra time developing it.
It doesn't have to be either one job or the other because plenty of people have multiple income streams as well as their main job and eventually end up concentrating on the most successful one. Have you never envisioned opening your own repair shop?
I know of three mobile phone repair shops where I am, and not one of them knows what flashing a phone means. I think they repair broken covers, sell batteries and accessories and maybe a selection of used handsets. I know more than them just from reading Esato and I have no doubt you know more than me.
Wasn't it you that created the great T68i - M600i experiment thread?

@goldenface - you're right, I should be enjoying my job more than I do, which does worry me!
Don't know about opening my own repair shop, not sure if there's the demand, as many people either have insurance or use their phone breaking as an excuse to go out and buy another. Also not sure if it would earn me enough money either. Nice idea though, I think I'd like to do something like that!
And yes, it was me that did that experiment thread, think it's about time I started another one!

I've got a broken down T300 you can have but I think its beyond help - I wouldn't waste a used jiffy bag on it.
I might have a go myself. There must be someone flogging a WSOD for a tenner.

Thats a nice traditional profession - Watchmaker. Why do you enjoy that?

lol - I'll let you keep that I think!
Got a couple of phones coming shortly, might start it off again with a D500 or something.
Don't know why I feel the way I do about this job, it's a very rewarding one dealing with helping other people. Though I'm thinking I'd be happier helping people in a less direct way, be a bit more 'behind the scenes'.

Have you been applying for any internal positions? Do they come up often?

I absoulutely love my job at the moment.... (i'm a postman if you did'nt know)
The only thing that ruins it is the company tbh
The hours are great, yeah i am up at 5am but i am almost always finished and home for 1pm....
We have a right laugh on a morning when were prepping the mail before we go out, and once your out its great, the people on my round are really friendly and when the weathers nice theres nuthing better, sucks a little in winter but you have to take the good with the bad.... It also keeps me fit and despite all the industrial action over pay etc i think the pay is pretty good.....
So yup i enjoy my job.....

Postie sounds good to me too. Out in the fresh air and a early finish can't be bad though not many late nights for you I suppose.
