Do any other people here just hate working?

If Canada is any thing like the U.S., I do agree with Wellen in the sense that college/ trade school is always nice to have. But personally, it gets grating when people tell me to go to college when I would quite literally have to indebt myself until I'm 30, and I honestly don't think it's worth it for the current market. Trade school is a good idea, though, as tons of people are lawyers scraping by as interns in overstaffed offices because they thought they were too good to be a plumber, so there's some demand.

Although there's a lot of data suggesting that getting a university degree increases your lifetime earnings (on average), I still generally approach education as "if I am paying for it, it's some sort of scam" (I'm indirectly terrified when I see/hear the amount of debt some of my colleagues are still paying off).

Flip-side, if you're rich (e.g., your family has the money to see you through college) or can get a full-ride scholarship, then it's usually not a bad idea to get a degree. Generally it's always a good idea to talk to people currently doing a job (to see what career prospects are like) and to try to focus on getting training/skills (be it through trade school or university) that set you apart from other people (making it harder for other people to do your job and thus making it less likely your employer will be willing to fire you).

TL;DR: Be a smart consumer of education.

I can't wait to see the OP gasping out his last while pathetically begging for scraps from my table.

 

[crodio]

i have never worked in my life, thanks to God
the idea of becoming furniture in an office is pretty terrifying, tho i guess i would like working either as a scientist leeching from the state, or at a teaching position leeching from the state.
or i could become an engineer and do actual stuff, but i hate the idea of doing anything remotely useful

I liked work. Or at least, I liked working. I had a physically active, social job, that paid really well for someone in my position, and despite it being repetitive it somehow never felt dull or mundane. Not exactly interesting either, but yeah. And of course some days were way worse than others, especially around Christmas time when the warehouse would get flooded with so many boxes that you were literally forced to walk through them - but the overall experience wasn't unpleasant I would say. I guess I just enjoyed being able to do something and be a part of something. Of course, I wouldn't have done it for free, obviously

Do I like working? I like working on cars, when it doesn't cause too much trouble, and when I'm not rushed. My coworkers mean more for the enjoyment than the work itself.

As a soldier I loved being a soldier, and I enjoyed being able to say that I did what I did - and was capable of what I was capable of. But much of the work was hard.

I will also say that I am almost incapable of taking an entire day off to do nothing - I always have something to do, something I want to accomplish. Usually hobby work of some kind.

My recent post in a school lab made me loathe kids and old guys that took their degree some eons ago. I love my work, but I hate the people involved in it. So, with a small mental leap, I hat my work. But I am making a lot of money.

The Buddha considered this reality one of the hell realities.

Work is suppose to make you crave non-existence.

Work sucks, good thing I haven't had to do too much of it.

It's been a while since I pretended to care about Buddhism, but I'm pretty sure the human realm is in the upper three on the wheel of six realities.

It's about the middle of all the realms, and the highest realm of hell. A human incarnation is considered the best for attaining nirvana because you can see just how bad reality can get.

Work is fine, it's the anticipation of returning to it which is unpleasant. Even the worst jobs/tasks I've ever done haven't been so bad that I just want to go home immediately.

Sitting around aimlessly is far more torturous. I don't think I'd survive a week without actively sitting down to do something. I tried having a single lazy day where I did nothing productive and I was almost driven insane. Conversely I once had a week where I was working 6 days, 7am to 8pm, (not including the 2 hours commute) and I felt fine.

 

[Radalan]

I hate my job and I hate my co-workers.
Three months from now,  if I'm lucky, I'll have a place to study and after that, I never have to work in the public sector ever again.

 

[Patchouli Knowledge]

What's the point in being alive without work? If you're not doing something productive you may as well be dead.
