Who loves their job/career?

[Calya]

I work in a restaurant and I like it a lot. Some days I don't like it so much, but when I think about it, there isn't anything else I would rather do. How do you feel about your job? Do you love it or would you rather be doing something else.

i adore my job; though it's very demanding, i'm doing meaningful and rewarding work. i'm a veterinarian for research animals, which means i help scientists design their studies, train scientists & our care staff how to work with animals, and of course, take care of the guys who need medical attention. it's a strange little niche of the veterinary field, and it sometimes takes a lot to explain to people what i do (still not entirely sure my mom gets me), but i totally love it.

I would rather be lounging on a beach with a drink in my hand, but if I have to work them my job is really not bad. I absolutely love the company I work for. The industry I am in so very exciting and cutting edge. We are headquartered out of Israel so it has also been very cool meeting and working with people from a different country.

The last job that I had before the one I got now, was in a cafeteria.

And I did not like it at all. In fact, I truly HATED it!! They made me work way too hard! I strongly believe that their working me to the bone had contributed to me getting heart failure.

I did not like the manager at all, nor did I like his assistant and there were too many supervisors there.

I was supposed to have gotten a job as a cook after finishing a course in culinary arts. Instead, I ended up with a very demeaning disrespectful job - washing dishes!!! How sad it that?!

They only give full-time workers one break - lunch, and no other break in a 10-hour shift, and part-time workers get no break at all!! I did not like that at all! In a nustshell, it STUNK!

I LIKe my tutoring job working with children though. No stress or strain at all!
And the kids LOVE me for being in their lives helping them to read!!

I'm sure that I'd love my job if I had one lol

Mine is running the family biz. It's a love/hate thing. Is it like being a pilot or doctor? No. But it pays the bills and I'm living pretty good.
People always ask why I don't become a chef or do something with my woodworking skills, etc. Because I like being able to NOT cook or pick up a chisel. If I had to do those things day in and day out, I would loose my personal interest in them.

Jeekinz, i'm 100% right there with you. i cook, i sing, i paint, i teach - and all of these things quite well. and if someone told me i HAD to do them daily to pay the bills, i'd loose my passion for the artistic side of it, and it wouldn't be fun at all anymore. there's a trick to finding something you enjoy doing on an everyday basis, and still having some "extracurricular" passions that you keep for yourself.

I don't mind the job either because it supports my hobbies.

I work with kids (pre-school & high school). I generally love even though it exhausts me and I'm sitting looking at a pile of work, I should be doing. I do cookery lessons with the high schoolers as a volunteer and I generally love it (not all the kids though) and hope I am equipping to survive life alone a bit better when they get there. One parent told me other day that her daughter recreated our meal from the week before at home, with no assistance - success.
