Is it normal to not want a job but want a job?

87% Normal
12 Comments

I am in desperate need of a job (actually, in desperate need of money) and I've been applying like crazy. But the real problem is that I really hate job searching, and really don't want a job. Most jobs are terrible and/or terribly boring. They suck up your whole day, usually for nothing (especially office jobs).
I need the money badly, but I don't think I'm putting in the true effort it takes to find one. I don't know if I can make myself. Then again, sitting at home and having all this free time is just as boring sometimes...maybe I'm just lazy. Is this normal?

    Well welcome to life.
    In all seriousness, I honestly think you should pursue something that really interests you, that you're passionate about and that you can actually wake up in the morning and feel excited about going to. I think living with a job you hate for a long time is one of the biggest regrets among people. You only live once.

    The economy is hard right now. Anyone that tells it isnt is a complete fucking moron. Try getting a certificate and get a food handlers card. It took me 3 years to get the job I had before the one I am working now and I still lost it. The one I am working now is minimum wage.

    You can make up your own hours panhandling.

    Normal. If it were up to me I would be a 50's wife and stay home to tend to the house.

    depends. if there are people who are dependant on you like for example youve got kids then get off your lazy arse and go find a job because youve got serious commitments and its time to grow up/man up. however if like me your still young and free then go out and find something you love doing even if its studying, traveling or volunteering. its better to be happy then rich as long as youve got enough to live on but sitting at home doing nothing wont make you happy.
