If you are permanently dissatisfied with your job, consider job crafting: Instead of moving on from a job you don't enjoy, redesign it to make it better suit you. — CHRISTIN KLOSE/dpa

A LOT of people have a job that gives them little or no satisfaction. It just doesn't feel right anymore – if it ever did – isn't enjoyable, is boring, frustrating or arouses only indifference.
