Jobs

Would you do a Job, if you weren't paid for it, handsomely?

Re: Jobs

It would depend on what the job was, and who it was for.

If it was a job to help a friend, yes, of course I would.
But if it was regular employment for some big company - then No, I wouldn't.

Re: Jobs

I'll stick with what I've got for now. It's an average wage that pays the bills.

Re: Jobs

I would love a job as l don’t like retirement one bit! I feel surplus to requirement!

The worst mistake l made was, giving up my job.

Re: Jobs

It depends on what the job is and the reason why I couldn’t be paid. I’m putting in a ridiculous amount of time helping relatives right now and not getting paid for it. I often help out friends and family and don’t expect to get paid for it and I’ve done volunteer work and haven't expected to get paid for it.

Re: Jobs

If it meant putting food on the table and there wasn't a better paid job available yes I would there is no shame in that.
