You have added “hate" to this discussion. There is a huge difference between not liking and hating a job.

I'm talking only of child care workers that don't like kids. I'm not talking about hating.

Again with hate. The fact is that center workers often just go to another center because it's the only job they can get. Home daycare providers quit because they don't like it, can't manage the parents, and or they can't make money to compensate the hard work.

My point is these workers come and go in kids life as a primary caretaker for short stints. Millions of children are cared for by workers in this cycle.

Skysue.....I said I didn't like my job in healthcare. I was a nursing assistant and I worked in a centre with the same coworkers and clients every day. Even though I didn't like DOING my job there were things I liked ABOUT the job (this is a big difference and probably what kept me there as long I did), I was good at it and most of my coworkers would never have guessed I was always on the look out for another job. Like I said, it's being called professional and doing the job you were hired to do :)

I guess until you have worked a job that you didn't like but was still good at, you wouldn't get it. I would probably have the same view you do if I hadn't experienced it for myself. I however LOVE my hdc and I don't see myself closing any time soon!

I agree with the person who said that children are like adults.....you don't like them all!! lol

In nursing there are so many rewarding avenues to choose to work in. Your not always doing what you don't like don't give me that. I would think the rewards would outweigh the negatives. But then again its not for everyone.

I have worked in jobs I down right hated and it's emotionally unhealthy.

Daycarewhisper why do you always assume your right on all subjects? I disagree and I'm allowed! Lol

why do you think you are right? I disagree and have my own opinion. Saying you can't be great at something you don't like is mind boggling to me. It doesn't make sense.

Why does anyone have to be right or wrong? Maybe we spend too much time around kids all day, lol, we are beginning to think like them.

For me disliking something is hating it. Hate is a really strong word but it's the same to me!

I dislike/hate cleaning toilets am I good at it? I do my best! LOL

Have a great day ladies this weather is sooooooo awesome!
