Job

I have the feeling of frustration. I am stuck again at a dead end job. How does this always happen to me? I was a good student who worked hard, and I get rewarded with terrible jobs. Problem 1: I make no money. I do not expect to make a six figure salary but I have six years worth of school. I should not be struggling as I am. I know the economy is lacking but seriously. Stupid people have better jobs then me.

Problem 2: I hate health and wellness. I am feeling the same frustrations I felt at the HealthPlex. I do nothing all day long but have to appease the members. I do personal training. Not once in my entire life have I thought: "Man, I would love to be a personal trainer." On the contrary, I would like to hire a personal trainer to kick my butt. I sitt at work most days and do nothing. They expect me to be here most days doing nothing. I don't understand how this is a full time job. It is hard to motivate myself to do more when I have no monetary compensation or otherwise. I do not get paid for the personal training or group fitness classes I teach. I have become a great flier maker.

Problem 3: I don't want to work in a gym. People are not going to stick with. The ones that do, don't need my help. As long as they have their classes and personal training they could care less what I do.

Problem 4: I have not structure, no set goals, etc. The goals that we came up with at my six month review were very little about my progress becoming a better employee. The goals were about the YMCA. I have very little desire to help the YMCA.

I am feeling the same way I did before. The conclusion is the career path. The upper management at my particular branch is not a problem. We have not idiots or anything like that. I just want a job that is challenging, requires responsibility, wants professional manners, and has a large degree of upward mobility. That is not going to happen at the YMCA.

For example, I am here writting my blog at work. I ahve not had anything to do since about 10am this morning, about 2 hours after I started. I would love to know what other employees do here becaues I do nothing.

Hoping for something new.
