Ok, so we've all got to get up out of bed in the morning and go earn a living, but do you love the work you do? Why even Brad has to go to work, or that spiffy Jag he just bought goes back to the dealership, and that would be sad for those of us who live vicariously[?] through him.

But I digress. Do you love the work you do, if not what would you like to be doing? And try to be realistic.

Myself for example, I work as a clerk in a civil service job. It pays the bills, but I would love to have a job working in computer animation. Especially after I saw The Incredibles!

Work = work that's why its called work, not FUN or SEX, or JOY!

To be honest I would so much rather be doing skins and web design full time then the crud i have to do. But since i have made a total of about $700 doing skins in my life, i don't think that's gonna get the bills paid. The Web design is a good part time job but its not gonna make me rich. Unless there is someone out there that needs a full time web designer, that wants to pay me outrageous amounts of money!

or maybe someone will just pay me to make desktopx meters all day.. hell id be happy to make $0.01 / download on each widget. that would at least make it worth while.

I love my job. I've been a college professor for 17 years; an administrator on campus for a year and a half. I spend tons of time teaching (which is great, especially when students admit that they actually enjoyed the class [it's organic chemistry, no one takes it as an elective!]) and solving problems for students (which is very rewarding). Wouldn't change it.

No. That's why they pay me to do it. If loved it, I would have to pay them!
There's worse jobs, so I can't complain too much. I drill gas wells.

I take packages (on avarage of 35 - 45 pounds) out of a truck and on to what is called an extendo that brings these packages into the facility and into trucks going to your home.

You be surprised how many times I use my training from school to move these packages. My degree (what is called a Bachler in Science... otherwise known as a B.S. of which I find very interesting) affords me the high pay and thrill of getting dirty in a dusty truck as boxes fall on my head and feet. For what its worth, I even use some of my grad school training to figure out ways for even more boxes to hit my head.

I love my job. Why? Because my last one was worst.

I would love to enjoy any job. Disabled for ten years and hate it. Sitting around wasn't the way I was raised. Proficient in computer graphics would be nice though.

Diability pay sucks by the way. No Jag for me.

I don't have a job. I'm a student. My job is to study. I'm good at it, but I hate it.

It's a necrothread...we raise them from the dead sometimes.

I loved my old job. I got to blow stuff up, shoot stuff, cruise around the ocean, jump out of helo's, scare an entire Tunisian village when we landed an entire MEU on the beach...ah good times.

My now job isn't too bad. It pays the bills mostly. I hope I don't retire from this job.
