Do you love your job?

I am enjoying my current place of employment. I am content with the people I have to interact with on a regular basis. Do I love it? No, but it pays the bills and affords me to do a few things I enjoy. It has potential so I'll stick with it.

I really do love my job, it wasn't well paid when I started but it is now. Some of the people I work with? I would be happy never seeing them again.

Would I recommend my job to anybody, not a hope in hell

No. It's meaningless and unfullfilling. I get no satisfaction from it beyond that I'm saving money to start up my own studio and pursue photography professionally.

As a student, I have several part time photography jobs. Generally I really enjoy my work; I get to work with fun and interesting people who appreciate my work and get paid for it. I usually charge more for jobs that aren't going to be as fun, but I can do that because I currently don't need money all that badly.

Sometimes jobs I get suck, but those are outnumbered by the ones I enjoy. As my uncle says, "If it wasn't work they wouldn't pay me to do it."

Sometimes I have the best job ever, sometimes the worst. mostly though, it's just something I do.

I'm a veterinarian. I'm either stressed or bored. when I was inexperienced I was stressed a lot. Now I'm less easily surprised, I'm often bored. I'm also too lazy to get out my rut...but on the whole I am happy enough. Occasionally I'm so depressed I could throw in the towel - we see some sad stuff, and deal with some terrible situations. Sometimes it gets on top of me.

The secret to contentment is to progressively lower your expectations until they match your achievements.

I'm also a bit cynical.

Realy? I didn't catch at.

Yes, I love my job. Otherwise, I would do something else.

I don't do photography for money, I do it because I enjoy it.

Teaching is my passion, and I do that part-time and it's about the funnest thing I could do as a professional teacher. I enjoy every aspect of being with the kids. I absolutely loathe the paperwork. But my feeling is, 80% fun, 20% not fun. That's a great job. If you can say that, you are very lucky.

How can I not?

"Work" is a four letter word ...

O, and more cash I believe..

Actually, once I relaxed and began to do the work I enjoyed doing rather than trying to "get ahead" I began making more money and was happier doing it. Doing something just for the money rarely gets you where you think you want to go, at least in my experience.

That was unexpected and awesome! Thanks for linking it to us.

Boy, I tell ya, I sure am not loving it today. WHAT A FREAKING NIGHTMARE!!!! Idiots, I work for a bunch of idiots.

Yeah, I love my job.

I never thought I would "love" sales, but the fact that I do sales for a large American guitar manufacturer takes the sting out of it. I get to travel, hang out with rock stars on ocassion; Hell, there are worse ways to earn a living.

This is, honestly, the last job I'll ever have. I simply can't imagine working anywhere else. There will be no "next" job. If I got fired tomorrow, I'd sell my house, cash in some investments, buy a motorhome to cruise the country, and let my Navy pension pay for the diesel.

Yeah, I love my job...
