When people ask what I do I suddenly start feeling really embarrassed to tell them. Almost ashamed I’m not a’professional’ 我妈妈的一些朋友去过大学and seem to have super flash jobs and I’m worried people look down on me for having a job so simple.
Having any job is something to be proud of. And it’s fantastic you have one where you have work friends and not just colleagues, and a great work life balance. Well done you, I say
Many of the top professionals in my sector (I am in a support role) are hugely stressed and unhappy. I wouldn't swap. Plus loads of them have imposter sundrome so feel unsuccessful anyway
I feel the same as you OP. I am an administrator so it is pretty crap money and everyone i know seems to have a better job and be buying houses and everything
I have never felt embarrassed OP and you should not either. Unfortunately when your a mum you do a job with what works for your home life as that's priority.
Lots of admin jobs on NHS that require typing and organisational skills so you definitely have skills OP. Some even are band 4 posts too. Look into it.
I have a good job but I'm unhappy. I'm looking at lower paid jobs that I would be a lot more happy in. Don't underestimate the power of being in a job that fits in with family life and one you enjoy
我是一名老师，有时我会感到很尴尬。 There's a lot of hurtful comments not necessarily aimed at me personally but in the press and overhearing things like 'those who can, do, those who can't, teach'.
I'd be impressed to be honest ! I only work a few hours a week, min wage and not as stressful as your job is I bet! 它适合我的年龄，它足以支付一些小账单和通过工作的自我价值。 你在工作，我不会给什么东西 anyone thinks of your job. It works for you and that is always a plus.

我也要说同样的话。
You enjoy your job and you’re happy, OP-that’s more than many!
您取得了成功，如果没有您，您的同事就无法完成工作，因此您在角色上非常重要。您可能会发现这很容易，但是我敢打赌，如果您的任何同事必须介入，他们将不知道该怎么做以及如何做。 I do admin and all my colleagues are training consultants. They would all find their jobs more challenging if I wasn't covering the small details. I'm lucky because they tell me how essential I am.
I used to be ashamed to admit that I worked in a jobcentre but it was a well paid job, flexible hours (I worked school hours term times only) and a great social life with colleagues who genuinely looked out for each other. I loved helping customers. Yes there were some nasty people (and people who had read too much Daily Mail and thought the rules applied to everyone else but them) but you get that everywhere.
