re: How many of you have had to bite the bullet and work a job you didn't like to...

Are we talking about an up-all-night-with-anxiety-because-you-dread-work-the-next-day kind of job? I've had a couple of those as a student supporting myself on my own. But there was light at the end of the tunnel. Couldn't imagine having to deal with that now, but I would if I had to. So much time spent at work; it would be pretty disheartening to be miserable for over a third of your day, not counting the misery that carries over between shifts.
