I have a new Job....
Hi, im 18 and just got a job as a bank teller...many people think its a great job. BUT I REALLY DON"T LIKE IT. I want to work with kids for my future (social work, daycare, teacher etc) I use to have a job as a receptionist that i loved but it was an hour away and my boyfriend always drove me there and picked me up, so when I got this job that is seconds away from my house i got it. my boyfriend kept on pushing for me to get another job and i understand, gas prices went up and it was a hassel for him to always have to take me. I'm not blaming my job on him but I don't know what else to do. If i just stay there until im done school I can have what i want but i feel miserable and sad going there and I only started 2 dasy ago. I'm just afraid that im going to be so Mad at my job that im going to take it out on my boyfriend and thast the last thing i want to do cause I love him so much and I know we are going to have a future together. Im not really sure what Im trying to ask but I just want a point of view on my situation. I just feel so confused!

Hello,
It is always a hassle to get rides from other people. Solve that by getting your own car. I suggest staying at the bank long enough to save enough money to buy a car for like $500.00 at an auto auction.
When tow companies tow vehicles, they are kept in a yard until the owner gets it out. If the owner does not come for the vehicle, the tow company can sell it at auction.
You can often find a great deal for a good price. Look for the ads that say police impounds and seized vehicles, or find a local tow company that holds auctions. Make yourself familiar with the auction process and view the cars before you buy one. Take a mechanic with you to look at the car too.
Do not blame anyone for the job you have. It is you who decided to take it. While you are saving for the car, start correspondence with companies you want to work for. That way when you quit the bank job, another one, the one you want is waiting for you.
Personally, you can expect to be unhappy at any job you have if your attitude sucks all the time. Start waking up and smiling at yourself in the mirror. Make sure your smile is the first face you see in the morning. Stay in a good mood all day, no matter what. Your headache does not matter to me, or the next person. Your attitude does though. If your attitude reflects how you really feel, people pick up on that, good and bad. In customer service you need to keep complete check on your attitude.
The bottom line is that the skills you are learning are very important skills to have. The face paced environment is good for you. Dealing with all different kinds of people is extremely good for you.
Your work history is important too. Stay there until you have something else and then give two weeks notice. List reason for leaving as career change.
You have only been there 2 days. Give it 6 months, get to know the job before you judge how likable it is or isn't.
To make extra money, put up fliers and ads for babysitting on your days off. Everything you do to professionally build your skill portfolio is only going to make you more valuable to the right company or people. Who knows, you may learn everything you need to know at the bank about loans then someday use that information to get the best rate around for your own daycare.
Everything you do will come around full circle. You will see.....someday!
The most important thing is to be honest to yourself and everyone you have contact with the rest of your life. Keep up the good work!
Good luck!
-- Stay Honest
