Do you love your job??

  • I like my job...love some parts, hate others. I think as soon as I 'have' to be there to be paid makes an enjoyable hobby into the 'job'. Could think of a lot worse and could think of a lot of better things to do with my time if money was no object. I do love earning money though, always have which is a big motivator as well as how enjoyable the work is. If a job is becoming unbearable I tend to jump ship as it were. I think a job is often what you make it. I try my best at any job as it makes things easier if you are doing a good job rather than just getting by.
  • I quite like my job. I get paid alright for what I do, and compared to some jobs i've had I can work 9 hours and walk home thinking to myself it doesn't seem 2 minutes.

    I sometimes wish I worked in a place with more people as sometimes it can be a bit lonely and other than saying hello and doing changeover with staff I don't really mix with my collegues as there all a lot older than me and you can go months without seeing some of them (as we work at different places), which I do miss from previous jobs. Overall I don't think i've got a bad deal with what I do though

    I had a job I loved many years ago repairing computers, I loved it, but got bullied out and eventually told them to stick their job, Since then every job I've had has been rubbish.

    yes i like my job. love is a bit strong, but in all of my incarnations i think this job is the most challenging and sometimes fulfilling. I only work part-time though, and am glad of that as i used to do the job full time, and that's a real challenge.

    I work in housing.
  • I love my job, it takes me all over Europe, and I have met the most amazing people! It's hard work sometimes, but I've been doing it for the best part of 20 years now, so I can do a lot without much effort. When I'm not working away I can work from home with my two sons, so yes, I have to say, I love my job!

  • i hate my job

    dealing with morons on a daily basis turning up on site where the brainless dedbeats in the office think you can work at hights without proper access equipment or send you to jobs where the site isnt ready for you or forget to order materials or force you to fill out a rediculous amount of paper work for a 10 minute job

    my job has made me hate all types of people who work in offices becuase they think they know best and refuse to listen to the people who actually do the work

    i wouldnt say the job gets me down its morons who work in the offices

    Yes, on the whole I do love my job. It has its challenges, and its downsides but I do enjoy it and I know on good days I can make a difference.
  • I enjoy my job but I am the sort of person who always keeps an eye out for something better.

    Im in marketing and currently only work in one or two areas of the field and would like a job where I can do a bit more. But overall im content with my situation.
  • I love my job. I really do. I get itchy fingers if I'm off for more than 3 or 4 days at a time
