Do you like your job?

Ok, so we've all got to get up out of bed in the morning and go earn a living, but do you love the work you do? Why even Brad has to go to work, or that spiffy Jag he just bought goes back to the dealership, and that would be sad for those of us who live vicariously[?] through him.

But I digress. Do you love the work you do, if not what would you like to be doing? And try to be realistic.

Myself for example, I work as a clerk in a civil service job. It pays the bills, but I would love to have a job working in computer animation. Especially after I saw The Incredibles!

Not really. But I am good at it, been doing it for quite a while and as you said, it pays the bills (or at least most).
Workleader, Fed.

Would much rather do landscaping/ponds/falls/etc - but the equipment is expensive. I really want a Bobcat (track) with all accessories to play with.

Assistant Manager - Quality Control department in manufacturing.

I "like" my job. It keeps me busy, and we face issues each day that are usually different from the previous day.

When free time permits, and there is need, I help the IT department (setting up workstations, running network cables - even some optic fiber - and some basic troubleshooting).

All in all, it is a good thing.

Of course, I wouldn't complain if I found a job that would pay me to live on a beach in Hawaii and learn to surf.

There's times I love it. There's times I don't. Occasionally, there's even times I understand it.

I love my job. Why would you do something you don't love?

Because "nothing" isn't a paying job...if it were, I'd be rich as hell!

I adore my job. I'm a preschool teacher at a private nursery school. There's something very rewarding about watching 3-4 year old children develope/blossom in front of your very eyes for 9 months of the school year.

Besides, they're a riot!! I laugh alot at work!

Do I like my job? Depends on what day you ask.

Most days I like it. I get to work on/with a variety of computers (servers, Macs, PCs, Portable PCs running WinCE), and I pretty much get to set my own priorities.

Other days when I'm struggling through corporate burocracy (sp?) just to get a simple part ordered, or else trying to put together an analysis in an impossible amount of time, I wish I could just walk away.

Dream job? Probably beer taster!
Hmmm, maybe I should start training for that right away....

At this point I wish I had a job. I've been unemployed since December of last year. I'm out looking for work now. Hopefully things will get better soon.

I would not want to do anything else..I actually have fun at work..It's dangerous and a "Rough Sport".. but it also gives me a real sense of accomplishment when the day is done..
Also..Driving down the freeways I can point to what I have done years after my work is completed.

I am a carpenter and building homes/schools/malls ..etc..etc.. is, in my opinion..awesome!
Of course you cant get rich in my trade, it's mostly "Feast or Phamon" never seems to be a happy medium..
Although, working outdoors, and never in the same location for long,and leaving "Something" usually where there had been "Nothing" is pretty satisfying.

The flip side of that coin is simply..there is too much building!..all of our hills, valleys and land seems to be sprouting homes..when will it end!..::laughs and sighs:: that is my only delema with the trade..it is sad to see entire valleys taken over by neighborhoods...but then, it is what I do for a living...

Zero.

"Feast or Phamon"

Being self employed, I understand feast or famine, but I'm not sure about phamon....

Yes, I like what I do to earn a living...... most of the time.

My answer exactly. Some days I'm okay with it, other days I want to chuck my badge across the room, announce I'm quitting, and head out the door.


At this point I wish I had a job. I've been unemployed since December of last year. I'm out looking for work now. Hopefully things will get better soon.


I've also been in this situation, so I know how stressful it can be. Best of luck in finding a new job.

Apologies Koasati..in either case it means starving for me..::laughs::
Usually happens most often during the winter months... Unless you abide by the "Put away for a rainy day" method..Winters can be pretty tough..
