Do people actually enjoy their jobs?

I believe that anything you have to do to get paid can be tedious at times. I'm sure even (singing) artists get bored of "working" from time to time. There's always something better to do - like karate, snowboarding, hanging with friends or just chilling in front of the TV to Dexter (<3 I'm literally addicted to that show now!)

I guess you could say I enjoy my job. The hours are great (8.00-16.30 and 8.00-13.00 on Fridays!), I get on very well with my workmates, it's only 5-10 drive from my apartment, I get a pretty decent salary, my boss is awesome and my work itself, I don't mind doing.

I think the best thing about this job is that I'm always learning which make it interesting. They do say that if you don't stimulate the mind then it's easy to get bored easily :-)

I'm an engineer and at times it can be amazing. But more often than not, it's a pain in the ar5e! Travelling loses its novelty pretty quick, so being abroad every few weeks gets a bit tedious and tiring.

I think as tortyv mentioned before, most professions lose their enjoyment as soon as you start to rely on them for a living.

job gets in the way but i dont start until 10am and get to go ride for an hour or two every day at lunch and all weekend.

not so bad

The think the other thing to consider regarding this, is age. It's not uncommon for youngun's to love their job. Not surprising if they've only be working for a couple of years.

If you've been in he same job for 20 years and still like it then you're definitely doing something right!

Personally I think being in IT is great because things are always changing and as I mentioned before, you are always learning!

Yeah, as so far pretty much everyone has said, it has its ups and downs. I work as an Arboricultural Consultant which means that I look at and produce reports in relation to trees be it to make sure that they are retained and protected during developments, if they are implicated in subsidence or whether they need to be maintained to be safe as poss.

Sometimes its awesome - on a lovely sunny strolling around some historic parkland checking for health and safety defects its wonderful, but when you're in a crappy building site knee deep in mud and freezing your bits off, or sitting in the office for days on end telling people how to build their garage safely its not quite so much fun...

Well ill second that for sure lol

Are they looking for any staff at the moment???

I love my job. I hate the paperwork that goes with it.

I work two jobs.

My bread and butter is a job in IT as a system tester Mon-Friday and by night, I do a bit of pizza delivery 4 nights a week.

My 'proper' job pays the bills and what not.

My second job is a means of earning some 'play' money and thats pretty much what funds my boarding and other hobbies.

I hate my day job. Its fairly well paid, and thats kinda half the problem - I couldnt really walk out of it and in to another career on similar money........ and trust me, I need that money.

Its easy to say 'its not all about the money' - but when you've a mortgage and car and whatever else to pay for, it really is all about the money. Happiness and daydreams wont pay for those!

My second job I actually dont mind though - the pay is woeful (minimum wage), at times its pretty frantic (Fri / Sat nights / Edinburgh festival time etc), its significantly harder 'graft' than my day job............ But I enjoy it a whole lot more.

If only I could get paid my day job wage for doing my night job!!

Its defo not easy thats for sure! Especially with the way things are with my current assignment in my day job which sees me working for a client 50 miles away in Glasgow.

I'm up at 5am, on a bus to the train station by 6am, on a train by half six to get me from Edinburgh to Glasgow in time to work an 8 till 4 shift. Finish in Glasgow at 4 and get off a train back in Edinburgh for 5:10, bus get me home at 5:30-5:40, then on the nights i'm working I start work at 6pm so literally back out the door again before working till 11pm...... home, dinner and in to bed normally for about midnight. 5 hours sleep then repeat!!!

I end up working Friday and Saturday nights which kinda sucks, but I always make sure I have my Sunday completely to myself - Sunday is my Erik Time haha, thats when I get to squeeze in boarding and karting and kayaking and whatever else! The rest of the time i'm just a walking zombie though haha!!

Like I say, the money is terrible - but its kinda a double whammy...... If i'm out earning £30 a night, then i'm not at home wasting £10-20 on munchies or passing time buying stuff on ebay or whatever else i'd end up doing if i were sat in the flat bored, so earning £30 can actually kinda leave me £50 better off if that makes sense?!

Its not ideal, but it does make a huge difference. The second job has basically already paid for my week in Tignes and a heap of new gear this year - that is stuff that i've previously had to do without when I was relying solely on my main job. Its gotten to the stage where i'd love to give it up - but I'd miss the extra cash waaaaaaay too much!! Only way I can see things changing is when I finally land myself a bird....... but then again, how the feck do I get a bird when I have zero free time to do so!! Catch 22 unfortunately!

I enjoy mine :-)

Well it's 90% hate and 10% like by the looks of things lol

I would say I love my job yes - nut it has its up and downs.

For a start I'm freelance so I never know when my next job is coming - it's generally word of mouth of occasionally from my agency. But when I do get work - I enjoy it and find it rewarding.
I work in TV so it's a nice idea that although I am a small cog in the grand scheme of things - I am an essential cog that helps things keep moving. My work also take me places. Like yesterday I was working on a beach on a beautiful day for a new music video coming out soon (artist isn't someone special and don't know if I'm allowed to say so always best to keep my mouth shut).
It can be very long hours - generally it's a 10 or 12 hour day that I would get booked for and there's travelling time on top of that. Some days can be 15-16 hours by the time I leave the house and get back. But it can be alot of fun and generally good banter as long as I'm doing my job properly. When sh1t hits the fan thought that's when this step up a notch.

So yes I would say I love my job.
