I work mainly evening and nightshifts as a gatekeeper/security at a medical factory. Most of the time i just sit and wait for stuff to happen, and stuff happens very rarely, so most of the time, i'm a professinal tv-watcher and web-surfer. Pays nicely as well.

though i'm planing become a 3d animator, gonna start the education in half a year

I'm mostly indifferent, because for all the good things my job has (good pay, good health insurance, good bonuses, etc) there's an equal number of bad things (having to work with China programmers, having to work with pissy American programmers, having to deal with angry clients, etc.)

At some point, I'm moving from Software Development Manager to Director, and the angst goes down (but the stress goes up).

A job is just as much a portion of your life as any other type of activity.

Sometimes I'm happier at work, earning and learning than I am kicking back
and scratching my butt. I always thought I'd be some kind of creative superman
jumping from project to project under my own steam but it's never quite
kicked in. Still hoping.

When you're onto a serious 'thing' give it your all. Until then, you might
as well stockpile as much Earth Money as possible.

Granted there probably are some full-time students and teenagers on here whom which do not work, either because they are not old enough yet or are too busy with other things.

The people I work with irritate the piss out of me, I don't get enough hours (despite being promised them) and my training was a joke.

But it's STILL far better than where I worked before.

If being a student counted as an occupation, my vote would go towards utter contempt. I'm not a bad student, I'm just tired of the monotony of doing the same thing everyday for almost 20 years, and the people, some people make me want to hurt them, horribly.

I love my job. I'm a designer at an advertising agency and all I get to do all day is make things look cool. Before that I was a model - which was nice because you pretty much work in bursts with really attractive girls. You're not really doing anything with any longevity or skill as a model though. Before that I washed dishes for a living. I'm about to have my first novel published so I'm really looking forward to that. Creativity rocks.

I guess my question is: for those who love your job, what's the secret?!

Finding a job that you'd enjoy sounds terrific, but incredibly idealistic. I'm still bent on my theory that some people are just born with a genetic predisposition to like things, and others just hate everything D:
I'm one of the people who hates everything, so I didn't really know what I wanted to do until I'd started 3 different careers. I then figured out that what I wanted to do involved 8 more years of school, so I did that. I've got just over a year left, and I work two jobs as an intern in my field. Even the intern pay is pretty nice, but I'd do it for cheaper- that's how much I like the work. If you really sit down and look at what you're good at, what you're capable of, and what you want out of your job, you'll probably get on the right track.

I work in a drive through bottle shop... it's pretty good. I've managed to land the sunday morning shift which involves really good pay and little to no customers which is good. I can stand doing it as a casual job whilst I study at uni... but I could never work there as a career.

I like my job. It has it's pro's (flexibility, interesting topic, great colleagues, travel around but not too much) and con's (often tedious labwork, thus frustrating) but overall I'm happy with it. I think I would die if I would have a 9-5 job in some office.

I work in a supermarket, and although the work itself is kinda meeh, the colleagues make it worthwhile enough to stay.

Generally speaking, I love my job. But what made me put down that I hate it is the amount of customers that can be so monumentally rude or abusive makes me pause. A little common decency seems out of a lot of people's grasp a lot of the time.
