    Love mine 90% of the time.

    That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t like to work 25% less for 10% less money, or don’t want to ever retire.

    i’m still studying but have to say I’m loving it, I’m not in lectures (well a bit) and get to do practical stuff almost every day whilst interacting with people and stretching my brain every day. <smug git emoticon>

    Mine’s alright. Wish I got paid more but I guess everyone thinks that.
    I love the stuff around my job. The commute is pre3tty damn good to be honest, some of the perks are quite nice and it really is quite interesting most of the time.

    I dislike the politics. It’s bobbins. Selfish buggers. Just do your job and help the company achieve it’s goals. Trying to build your own little power structure is pathetic. If you want to be in charge, go form your own company.

    Coming up to 50, I discovered what I really wanted to do (brain injury rehab and creating new services for ABI people and their families.)

    Now, 11 years later, I’m still loving it and I sure as hell don’t want to stop yet. Sure the money’s mainly rubbish to mediocre at best, and the defensive professional and managerial budgetary blikeredness and jobsworthiness is bol****s, and totally short sighted of course, but nonetheless you meet some amazing people who literally rise again from the ashes and inspire us all. I feel privileged…….honestly!

    I hate my job.

    It pays well, career progression varies between steady and spectacular and I have 2 real terms pay rises per year.

    I’ve hit the point where I just don’t care about the politics etc and as such I’ve started speaking my mind more. The more I say something’s shit the better I look, the more I get paid and the deeper into the lifestyle I sink.

    The deeper I sink the more I need the money to keep up. I quit once and then got talked into a golden handcuffs deal. The signing of which was the single worst decision I’ve ever made.

    The worst of it is I genuinely believe in the work I’m doing – just not how I’m made to do it.

    I’m working in a LBS

    Been in the trade for quite a few years now & still love it

    Wallet’s a bit thin due to the wages and buying new shiny things

    But I get to play with bikes all day

    Really enjoy my job, prob would say I love it. Has it’s off days,the service is quite badly run and staff morale is pretty crap but I get a lot of satisfaction. Was in my late 20s and staring down at a desk the rest of my puff did not go down well. Made the decision to change career while I still could and glad I did. Now work for the ambulance service.
    Would I fo it if I wasn’t being paid… Maybe!

    Wouldn’t go as far to say that I love my job but it’s certainly the only one I’ve ever had which has given me any satisfaction and the feeling of having done something useful. It’s also the only job I’ve had where I don’t groan at the thought of my next shift, even though, relatively speaking, it’s also the lowest paid.

    There aren’t many jobs where you can run the full set of emotions from despair to frustration to anger to elation to excitement to relief, all in the space of a 12 hour shift.
