I'm an admin person for an investment firm. I back up the person who runs the in house accounting system, reconciling trades. I also run the website for the company - formatting reports, html codes. I deal a lot with paperwork and compliance for both the SEC and foreign compliance. I freakin HATE my job. Most of the time I don't do much and what I do do is boring and stressful all at the same time. I went to college (didn't quite graduate), but basically finished. Studied Marketing and Economics, which I hated. Don't know why I did that. Applied for jobs and this was the first offer. Why haven't I left yet - the company is amazingly generous. I'm way overpaid and we get unbelievable bonuses. If I took another job, I'd pull in half of what I make now. Yes I'm shallow - I sacrifice personal happiness for money, for now at least. We couldn't live the way we do without my income. Hopefully one day, I can do something else.
