Who loves their job?

Re: Who loves their job?

ehh i dont love my job...very stressful with poor communication. i'm a senior accountant at a large payroll company.

however, the bright side is that i know what im doing and lots of ppl come to me with issues. the downside is that ppl come to me with alot of issues. maybe if i was manager level, i'd love it more bc the pay would be proportional.

Yes, I love my job. I'm a Coast Guard helicopter pilot and fly the MH-60T Jayhawk...worked really hard to get where I am and it's neat to actually realize the dream. I won't get rich doing this, but I've already had enough moments that are priceless that it doesn't matter.

Re: Who loves their job?

Yeah I can say I love my job (I'm an Audiologist).

Earn great money with good perks (free car, phone etc) and i get to help improve the lives of people with hearing loss. I had to work nights and study my *** off for years to get to this point but it is very much worth it.

Like any job it has days where I get a bit stressed etc but i don't see myself doing anything else anytime soon and my job can be very rewarding.

Re: Who loves their job?

It took some time to get to where I'm at, but I love my "job." I'm a stay at home dad of 4 boys. Some of the pros are that I get to explore my own hobbies more. For instance, I love to cook. I have gotten to the point to where I make our own breads, cook just about every evening, and even made my own brick oven in the backyard.

It's not all roses though. There are days I struggle with the old ego and wish I was out there making the money for our home, but those days don't come as much as they used to. Also, kids can really test your patience. 4:00pm during a weekday and its lit up in this house.

Re: Who loves their job?

Simply said...
"Greatest Job on Earth"...that describes my profession ..and I absolutely agree....so ya' I'd say I love it.

My criteria
-I never even look at my paycheck stub.(There is always moola in the account....why bother?)
-I never say...."ugh...gotta go to work"
-I actually don't want to get to the day I can retire.(which is very soon ...too young for me IMO)
-My family is now 10,000 strong. One letter through the bag(sort of like a Pony Express )about a personal crisis....and I'll have to turn away(with much thanks of course) most of the help that would come my way.
The Brotherhood is UNMATCHED.
Yep...my job is quite awesome most of the time.

I was just out in SD in December doing some with with the USCG and Harbor Police. Had you been wearing your OS T-Shirt I might have recognized you.

That's a good outlook. I think if we can somehow stay active, we can still be in good spirits.

Re: Who loves their job?

For the most part, I like my job. I make a decent living and can take care of my family. We have a nice house, reliable cars, food in the refrigerator and a little bit of cash in savings... What more could a person want?

I work in a prison as a Corrections and Custody Officer. It's not a glorious job by any means, but I have so much camaraderie with my co-workers. I've met some really good people and never question whether or not any of them would have my back in a rough situation (and there are a lot).

"Prison guards" are some of the toughest people around. I don't say that in an arrogant way, but we deal with convicted felons who have committed some atrocious crimes and for a lot of them, they have nothing to lose so they act like it at times. I can't talk about my job in any real kind of detail with others because they just don't really understand.

We have no weapons to protect us, other than a set of handcuffs and our training, as well as tactical verbal skills.

My shift sucks (I work 1330 to 2200) but that's my biggest complaint. I get weekends and holidays off. There's a lot of job security because well, there are a lot of bad people in the world.

It's not what I want to do for the rest of my life, but for now, it's a good job. I am starting school in the spring to finish my degree and promoting within my department is something that I want to do.

Re: Who loves their job?

...I'd love my job more if I was doing what I really should be doing...

I want to write books. Sports fiction, romance-comedy, crime dramas... I think I'd be really good at it and I love to write.

My dad is a Corrections Officer in Fife. He used to work at McNeil awhile ago. I think he enjoys the smaller jails a little more, plus his commute is a lot shorter now.

Those hours are brutal.
Damn.
Who came up with those times?....Satan?
Although the shift following yours is awesome(if you're a night person on your days off)..and the day shift is probably fantastic.
