I love what I do.

I am retired now, but I can say that having work that you really enjoy and which allows you to accomplish something significant is great. When I had that, I looked forward to going to work and was more than willing to put in long hours.

I used to enjoy my job and really felt like I was contributing. The last 6 months the company culture has gone to hell so I’m job hunting

I'm incapable of working regularly anymore. The market for jobs is poor but plentiful at the moment and that means there are plenty of crap jobs to go round. So I do agency work and quit when I'm really fed up and live within my means. I'd rather have an open road to stroll down than a flashy new sports car to travel the few miles to serfdom. Just quit again to travel to Lebanon to do a CELTA (English as a foreign language teaching course). / So my advise is quit trying to live the dream life and just live and it will probably come. Life is short- unless you know how to live it.

No, it's not were I want to be. If I could work civilized hours all year , it would be closer a good job. I hate working over nights to cover the other guys vacation time.

I loved my current job initially, but current mgmt has sucked the soul out of the place. I feel depressed on Sundays, knowing that I have to go back. I have a plan, though. Change will be coming with my next birthday. (:

Most of the time I love my job. There are those (now seldom) times that it was really annoying, like the guy who calls 911 at 4am because of a tooth ache... but yeah, there are jobs out there that can be rewarding. Just have to figure out what’s important to you, and go for it.

i have done both. now i am older, and disabled to the extent that i cannot keep a job. i think most people go through both. if you're young, it's like paying your dues. you can take steps to move up, or out. if you're older, it feels more hopeless sometimes.

I enjoy my job to such a degree that I generally don’t like weekends.

Now I have a job that I love. I work for a company that provides afterschool childcare in elementary schools and each day is a joy. That said, I spent 20 years running a business that was sometimes fun, exciting, and challenging, but eventually became pure dread. I never thought I'd be doing what I'm doing, but I'm happy I am.

I love my job! I just hate waking up period! Lol

Most days I greatly enjoy my job. Some days more then others. Lately been putting in 60 hour (40 on the books) weeks to get caught up so I am also looking forward to xmas break (almost two weeks)

My dream job was to be a stay at home mom. I excelled at that. But the kids grew up and the marriage ended. I returned to the work force and have had jobs that were ok and jobs that really sucked. I left my job a week ago. I am calling it retirement for the moment. I will reassess in a few months. If I do go back to work I doubt it will be full time and definitely not looking for a stressful job.

I enjoy my job. Probably more than I should.

Im not quite there yet with my job, but working on it

I know that I am extremely fortunate to have exactly the job I should have. It took a long time to get here but I really hope I can stay in this organization for 10+ years. So far I am on year 4 and still love what I do every day.

My job constantly pushes me beyond what I ever thought I was capable of. Sometimes, i hate it with every fiber of my being. The pressure can be absolutely overwhelming. Other times, I get to collaborate with world renowned experts in their respective fields. This is one of those weeks. This project will most likely end up being published in her next book and she's already asked me to go with her on her next job in Arizona, so I guess I'm doing good so far. Tomorrow is going to be a very long day...

I'm actually struggling with this myself. I don't love what I do, but I love who I work for and what we stand for. A friend has suggested a book called Designing Your Life, so I might give that a try.

I am, have been and always will be because that is my choice + a little bit of luck too !!! ???

My job may not be the ideal thing but there are good aspects too. Even though it is a job of long hours of work, difficult personalities, politics, and damn few perks, I do have a sense of mission. And there are probably good reasons why I landed where I did. In any case there is little point in dwelling on the negative. Life is full of trade-offs.

I think I might really enjoy my job once I can actually do it! Still waiting on system access, etc etc.

I sell guitars and since I have s passion for guitars I enjoy it... the job has its challenges, things I would change if I could but I gave up being a mortgage broker because I hated it with a passion. How I got to this point Is a long story... surfice to say I’ve learned the distances between two points is seldom a straight line.

Love mine everyday. Not just because I am able to be in here whenever I want, but the stress is really low most of the time. What I do is also fun and varies. I know its rare to be in these shoes (as I have had dozens of less rewarding jobs) so I treasure it more than ever.

Some days I am Mike , some days I am Sonny .
Some nights I park my car at hospital and ready for the shit storm , some nights the hospital calls " r u interested in working tonight ma'am ?" And the answer is " I don't think so ".
My career has taught me that some of us are tigers and some of us are zebras . At the end of day , we all have stripes . If not for my job , I will have never been able to look at my stripes . I am thankful . Painful at times , but thankful .

Love my job, most days. I work in IT, but don't have to program or work help desk - infrastructure's very different.
