Do You Love Your Job?

I have days where I love mine and days when I'm frustrated with it. Just curious how most people generally feel about their jobs.[Poll]

Re: Do You Love Your Job?

  • It's hard to rate my job because it is the best job I have ever had...but sometimes it gets boring!  I know that sounds terrible but I am the youngest person in my office and one of the youngest in the entire company, so when I came on board...things felt sooo slow.  They are still that way but I love my job and the industry that I am in.  Someday I hope to move up to a more challenging position.

  • I love my job! I work in music and I was at an indie label for about 3 years before jumping ship to a major.

    The only downside is the timing can be a bit wonky. Like last night, I went to an industry thing that lasted from 10pm - 1:30am.

    And then my boss saw me tweeting around 5:10am so he decided to email something that needs a response. I replied at 5:16am and then went to bed.

    Hey that sounds awesome! My husband is dying to work in the music industry. Let me know if you have any tips for how to break into it :) 

  • I'm not working right now but when I did, I liked my actual job, but hated the toxic environment/toxic people and the lack of management.
  • I have had some jobs that have been absolute nightmares or been boring, worked for places that were just a total mess or any variation of the above and then some.  I think I can safely say that I have finally found a job that I love.

  • I hate my full time job. The company that I work for is wonderful, and the people outside of my department are wonderful, but my boss, his director, and my coworkers really make me hate it :(

    However, I do a lot of freelance (I'm in video production) and I love every minute of that. I work with great people and I get to have some amazing experiences, especially as a young worker. I'm only 23 and I was one of 2 video editors at the Super Bowl this year in Dallas. I also work for the Redskins during the football season, I do graphics for Towson University Athletics, I run my own photography business and I teach a class on video production one night a week at Towson University.

    So although I hate my job, I need it for the benefits until FI and I get married. But I find my satisfaction with my career outside of my 9-5. 

  • i hate my job.  there is no upward mobility, the pay sucks, and there are various other reasons why i hate my job but i don't really want to get into it right now.

    the only reason i took this job 5 years ago was because my in-laws owned the company.  we got screwed by people who we supported, and my in-laws ended up having to sell.  i hate the way new ownership is taking the place.  this is not a job i would have taken...ever...but i did because it was a family business.  now i'm stuck because i live in an area where unemployment is outrageous.  fun stuff. 

  • i love my job.  love it.

    i teach high school English.  i love my kids, my coworkers, my subject area and the fact that every day is fun and different.  i love that i feel like i'm doing something worthwhile.  and i certainly can't complain about the pay and benefits, especially since i'm earning it doing something i enjoy this much.

    i've been teaching for ten years.  i hope to continue for many more and i hope to continue loving it this much.  :)  

  • i voted only sometimes because if i didn't have to work i wouldnt, but at the same time im very blessed to have the job i have and the position i have at the age i am Big Smile

  • I work for a church's daycare and I love it. I also sub at another daycare center and that one could be a little better. But I still love this job more than anything else I've done.
