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

I enjoy my job. Probably more than I should.

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 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. (:

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.

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)

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

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 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 love what I do.

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.

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 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.

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 .

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...

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

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.

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.

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.

I am Retired... I am living my dream... not the dream... my dream. Good enough for me.

Jobs are not there to provide satisfaction. The role of a job is to remind you that you are just a cog in a big machine.
I remember my daughter coming home with the task: "What is your dream job in the future?" She was about 14. She showed me the task sheet. There was a caveat: "Be realistic!" ... I almost wanted to go to the school and question the stupid teacher by telling her/him the story of Nelson Mandela. Little black boy in Apartheid South Africa writing: "I want to become the president of SA!"
I was recently thinking how much one have to devulge about oneself just to get a shitty job.
Only those who are daring can hope for a "dream job". The bulk of people just skave away.

In capitalist USA the Job is dissatisfied with YOU.

I'm retired,but when working,after my 8 years in the Air Force,got into building and wiring large electrical power systems,then 9 years later,went into Defense work, making large missile launchers,and finally strategic missiles. Always something new,from doing bench work of cable fabrication, to assembling test sets.

I'm at a point in my life where I'm just starting to discover effective ways to achieve my actual life goals. It's sort of late for it, but I'm glad I found it at all. That said, my day job is only tolerable because the team I work with is awesome. I'm very lucky in that sense. But if I could sustain myself as an indie game developer, that would be my dream.
