Preston, CT USA Sometimes alone and sometimes w/ others..it just depends on who the others are and what kind of mood I'm in. Angela, 16
Bella Vista, AR USA I would much rather work alone than with others. Oh the limitless things I can accomplish when I am working by myself. If someone else is working with me, I feel like they are in my way, I have to wait on them to finish something, they don't work at the same pace, just things like that. My ideal job would be for someone to give me a days worth of work, and then step back and let me do it. Lisa J., 22
TN USA Depends what I was doing. Alone for some things.. but I do like having some interaction with others.. so.. I dont know. Maybe alone for one half the day, with others the other half ;P Talia, 23

Highlands Ranch, CO USA w/others but doing my dream job--directing films Anjel, 20 I LIKE WORKING BY MYSELF ON A JOB AS I DON'T FEEL LIKE SOMEONE IS WATCHING OVER MY SHOULDER WHICH WOULD MAKE ME FEEL VERY INSECURE. BUT THEN I ALSO LIKE TO WORK AROUND PEOPLE SO AS TO MEET PEOPLE AND KNOW PEOPLE. BUT I DON'T LIKE GETTING TOO CLOSE TO PEOPLE I WORK WITH. I HAVE SEEN WHERE SOMETIMES IT CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS GETTING TO CLOSE. Marci, 56
Diamond, OH USA An ideal job would be a combination of group work and solitary effort. Jill, 60
Saylorsburg, PA USA I would rather work by myself. You don't have to put up with co-workers bullshit. I had a job at a bakery working by myself pretty much and it was great. Of course, when the boss did come around, I couldn't stand her. She was so 2 faced. Besides that, it was cool. Jennifer, 19

Beverly Hills, CA USA Working alone is more my bag...with the radio in the background... Frodo
age unknown, parts unknown I am very much a loner - but I enjoy the group now and then. I could not work alone all the time - but I like to work alone when I can. So, I guess it is a mix. Deb That depends on what you're doing. But I work with computers. Specifically I provide technical support, so it would be difficult to work alone. It's also nice to have other folks around to learn from. Firelady, 23
Dallas, TX USA I like a mixture, and as a software developer, I have the luxury of both being part of my work routine. Jane, 60
West Linn, OR USA Depends what the job is and who the other people are. Alias Irrelevante I'd like to think I'd want to work always on my own, but that is a fantasy often driven by days where I have too much people contact. I guess I need both people and time to myself. Felicia, 35

TX USA With others. I mean - with others around. I like to be left alone when I'm working on something - just - lemme make my plans and get to work - but I like people to be around, for distraction and company -and to sometimes work together, too. Pretty average answer, I guess ;-) no-itsme, 29
HOLLAND That's a tough one. I guess alone. That way you don't have some wise arse boss. Jaden, 21
Brampton, Ontario CANADA Definitely alone. I have the attention span of a gnat and if I had to work with anyone else I'd get distracted. An ideal job would be one where I can work alone but have colleagues to talk to at breaks. Shanna, 16
Cardiff ENGLAND Depends what we're talking about. Karen, 21
Marshelltown/Ames. IA USA I like people but I have never thought that they liked me. So I'm uncomfortable when I'm forced to work or play with more than one other person at a time. I DEFINITELY like to work alone. Reba, 51
