    Don't know how to post a poll. I've come to the conclusion that I've never really liked my jobs, and I've had a broad range of them. I guess I don't like structure and being told what to do. It's just a means to an end I guess. Wish I could be collecting social security like Dr of Dunk.

    They all suck generally. It's just a matter of putting it out of your head when you're not there.

    My jobs from the ages of 23-35 never reached the level of "love" and some I really didn't care for. With any luck and a little time, you'll all find something you enjoy.

    I really dig my job. I work with a great group of people for the most part, and it's pretty lax... Two hour lunches are the norm and whatsuch.

    If I get fired tomorrow I'll probably not like it as much.

    Yeah, I like my job. I loved my last job but left for better location and money. I started this job with the plant in a bad situation, so I don't enjoy it as much. But I hope to love it at some point in the future.

    That's the thing. They say to turn your vocation into a vacation. Do what you love, right? Well, I just don't like what I'm doing. I would cringe if I were a teacher/parent and heard one of my kids say "when I grow up, I want to be an account manager." Ugh. Oh well. Dreams don't always come true. We all wanted to be athletes, actors or artists growing up.


    And the only thing I hate more than my job is the effort it's gonna take to get a new one.

    i'd rather be a middle school or high school math teacher. Or a paid EMT (as opposed to volunteer) But what're you gonna do? Those jobs don't pay enough..

    at least not when I have a job that I can do and still have enough free time to enjoy my life and volunteer as an EMT and/or a math tutor.


    I don't hate my job. But it'd be difficult for me to hate a job that I tried to get. I tend to go with "things happen for a reason" and "things will generally work out"...as long as I believe that, I will find a way to make things work out.

    So basically I'm saying that I think a lot of the reason I don't hate my job is just because of attitude going into it and attitude about the future.

    I'm one of the few lucky people in the world that really enjoy their jobs. I get to play music for a living and actually support my family comfortably.

    My brother gives me a hard time because I have such a great job and make good money while he works his ass of for much less.
