Boring 9-5 with homework = you can do your job in your sleep and spend the rest of your free time pursuing whatever you like. A job is what you do for money. A career is what you do to get meaning in your life. BIG difference.

My boring, pointless job pays the bills pretty well.

I left the private sector fortune 500 company after 17 years because of a terrible leader yet the company was great, and left for a government job doing the same work but it is boring and after watching this video clarifies that having a boring job that pays well not too bad if you think about it because now I have peace of mind and no stress, just bordom..

I work as a gardener to a firm that hires people with disabilities like myself. I work 7 hours a day, monday to friday, and have 35 vacation days. That's the first job, I have a second family job which I help my parents and that ensures some of my other expenses. I have a KZread channel which I want to make it my third part time job by next year. I want multiple sources of income to ensure a fruitfull future for me and future loved ones as well.

That sounds like a plan and I wish you all the best with it!

4 scenario - if you burnout and need some rest (and of course money) take a boring job. And you what? We always have an opportunity to make any job fun😊

I left my teaching career to start as a graduate data analyst at the federal government in Australia this February. I need work-life balance and the time and energy to learn. Teaching nowadays is probably an unsustainable path. Some boring side hussles I did include picking and packing on a farm, Uber Eats delivery, and driving a tour van. They are indeed valuable experience😊

Loving your positive attitude towards your experience. I believe that every experience in life can teach us something useful. Learn from mistakes, be inspired by small successes

This is what I’m trying to figure out right now. What is the most boring, repetitive job I can get that still pays the bills, while I hone my writing and content creation, which is what I want to do long-term? I’m currently a software engineer in the finance world, and while that’s the dream job for a lot of people right now, it’s not fulfilling for me, it’s draining all of my energy, and I don’t have anything left at the end of the day to pursue what I really am passionate about. So thanks for bringing this up!

do not go for anything repetitive. I've worked in a factory, trust me, anything that requires repetitive motion all day will have the same effect. I had a job that required very light focus, I was basically taking notes on video used to assess fishing habits. If I were to characterize my attention, it was like a long light smooth focus, like driving through the country. As opposed to factory work that makes your day feel like 10,000 pieces.

Your journey is pretty fascinating! Unfortunately where I'm at currently, diving into entrepreneurship just doesn't spark any excitement for me. Dealing with taxes and all the bureaucracy, I've been down once, not doing it anymore!!! Packing my bags and heading off to a new country isn't on the agenda. Here I am, surprisingly finding peace in a boring job. Life's got its twists, doesn't it?

I'm a security officer in the gatehouse at LeLac, an upscale community in north Boca Raton, Florida. My job is about a 7 on the boring scale. There are moments of activity and long stretches of inactivity.

Like you I worked in banking but for 10yrs in back office (boring repetitive) and what I saw was those kind of jobs typically leads workers behaving in a very unprofessional manner. Throwing loan files all over the file cabinets and on the floor, fist fights, arguments, there were people sleeping with each other at work lol 😂 it was insane, this is why I would favor something more exciting that invest in continuous training and development.

Wow! I'm glad I didn't have to experience that part of banking lol. It's sad though to see how people totally hate their jobs but stay put. There's always a way to do better. All the best, I hope you find/now have a job you enjoy!

@@MultipleCareerslol 😅yes back office is a totally different world, I would say that it’s equivalent to a sweat shop. The average worker have kids and barely a high school diploma or they’re interning for the summer. So most of them felt like they couldn’t do anything else. The morale was very very low. Yes, I’m graduating next month from University and that experience is what made me decide to go back to school, so when we’re talking about education and the importance of it. I know first hand how important it is..

My job is very chill, but we have busy seasons and it isn’t boring. It’s not highly paid, but not bad either. For me it’s the perfect option!

Happy to hear it works for you!

This is fantastic. I've currently been highly debating if I should take on a full time job to make more money in a career that I know I won't want anyway or if too keep my easy part time job that I actually enjoy and just go full throttle into launching my own business. I think that if there ever will be a time that I will have enough time and energy to get started on my own it will be now. Thank you for shining some clarity into my situation.

Happy to hear that! It's really not an easy decision and you can spend years contemplating what to do. When I made a similar decision about 10 years ago I know I was taking a leap of faith. The years that followed weren't easy at all and there were several times I almost hit rock bottom (again). Looking back now I don't regret it, I would need to go through those hard phases anyway, no matter when I quit, whether that's at 40 or even 50. The only thing I'd do different is to save up a larger CFF (Career Freedom Fund). Wishing you all the best!

Career Freedom Fund. The proverbial "nest egg".. Very important for those who quit without immediately switching jobs. @@MultipleCareers

Well, if the problem is not growing or learning anything new, maybe that means going back to school part time or finding activities outside of work that will make life exciting again.

I was a student of aviation. It was boring. I was a general manger of commercial buildings of over 1,100 tenants and I hated it then because I was in my 20s. It was so boring dealing with tenants and all the litigations etc. I love music but as a musician I never had the time to advance in the industry even though I have so much connections in Hollywood. My life path was so wrong.

It’s not that you don’t know what a boring job is, you don’t know an exciting job.

God damn i need to know what boring jobs are Im f king stress and burnedout in my reality show like job as a utility on a bar witch prioritizes drama ,betrayal and bullying more than having peacefully and helpfulll ones ☹️

I'll take a boring job because there's nothing more boring then living at your job for 13 hours a day I rather have money and have a life/fun outside of work

Fantastic I'll get a pointless job that will make me think I'm pathetic piece of sht doing it but hey, money, right? Does it even matter..?
