BESIDES surfing the internet to read ClutchFans.net, what is the best thing about your job? Web Server Administrator - The best thing is that my job is that there is always something to learn, whether it be a new programming language, a new server technology, a new solution or a new program that does "things" for the university where I work. Based on the "worst thing about your job" thread. tomjc, thanks for that other thread .
I didn't think people your age still like piggyback rides. Small business owner(buy/sell/refurbish auto parts): The best thing is working my own hours and not having anyone to answer to.
I enjoy the technical side of what I do. Also, as I said in the other thread, I'm the account manager for the largest customer for our company worldwide. He and I have gotten to be good friends. I also have a great boss who is incredibly loyal (almost to a fault) to those that work for him. His door is always open and he will fight for everything we ask for.
I play piano and sing for three hours a night for five nights a week. I get to make fun of people in the audience and make stupid jokes that only five people (and me) think are funny. Even though I'm in the same place every night, it seems that each night is different since it depends on the crowd what kind of stuff we do. I feel like I get paid much more than I deserve. That's probably the best part.
I'm a government contractor in DC meaning the government has been closed yesterday and today, and it'll probably be closed tomorrow once the snow piles on tonight
Doesn't a portion of the tax collected still go to the "royal family"?... talk about still living in the 19th century...
I get to sit on my couch all day and do a lot of hard drugs while I watch mediocre quality American Television. The downside is I don't get paid.
Elementary music teacher. I get to make a positive difference in the lives of young people every day, all while singing songs, strumming the guitar, and playing games.
Software Developer/Solution Architect - Best thing about my job is I have a very flexible schedule with a cool boss. (Also, same things that OP stated about learning new things all the time)
