I am a music teacher and I love it with all my heart. Can't even tell you how much I love it!

As for JT, he's a floor director/playlist specialist for MTV. He likes it, but doesn't love it. He wants to get back into the production side of tv rather than the post-production.

I am a Jewelry Buyer for a local retailer. I love it! Its very fun and I think its interesting. I always wish it paid more, but I think I am doing pretty good for myself!

My DH is a System Admin for a Marketing company- He absolutely LOVES his job! His job pays really really well!

I'm a Psychologist at a city hospital so the pay is not good considering all the loan debt I have accrued, but I LOVE it! It feels good to help someone everyday and in a city hospital, it is most often people who need it most and can't afford it.

DH is a Pharmaceutical Sales Rep and loves it too. The pay is good and so are the perks. I only wish he made the switch years ago and could have avoided all the other miserable jobs he has had.

Re: what do u do for a living and do you love it???UPDATED-with another question

I work in marketing for a for-profit educational company. I like it a lot, but won't say that I love it or that it is my dream job. And the pay isn't great, but the quality of life is good.

DH is a bank manager. He likes it, but his real dream job is in training (he used to be a sales trainer.)

I'm an attorney and have my own firm. We handle real estate, wills, trusts and some matrimonial stuff. I love it b/c I am my own boss and can spend much more time with my son than I would if I worked for someone else.

I am a travel specialist. Majority of my bookings are groups, cruises and tours. It's ok. Some days I love it and some days I want to scream. I love my co-workers and they really make the day better. I have a great support team, and everyone is very knowledgable in different areas so they all have something special to contribute to the office. I've made a great deal of wonderful contacts in the travel industry that I hope to use when it's time for my own travel. Like any office it has its good days and its bad days. Luckily I have more good then bad.

DH just switched careers. He is now working for Verizon doing Fiber Optics and loves it. He comes home less stressed, doubled his salary, pretty much runs his own day, and likes the people the works with.

I am a formulations chemist. In my current position I develop mostly high end anti-aging products. I loved this job when I first started... but as I "move up" I am liking it less and less. Right now I work for the largest chemical company in the world, and I have decided that I like working for the smaller companies much more. Unfortunately, my options are very limited on Long Island. I have been considering changing careers for a while now. Some careers I would like to pursue in the future are: pharmaceutical product development, ultrasound technician (need more school), high school chemistry or biology teacher (need more school), and possibly nurse (need more school).

DH is a Pharmaceutical Sales Rep and he loves it.

ETA: I've been going to school pursuing another degree with the goal of becoming a psychologist.

I teach and although some days can get to you - I LOVE my job! Great vacation, hours, and pay!

Re: what do u do for a living and do you love it???UPDATED-with another question

I'm a research analyst in structured finance in asset management of an investment bank. I like it overall (although I do have my days) and love the pay.

DH is an RN who switched from bedside to a unique company that analyzes patient information for insurance companies and LOVES his job (especially his hours and flexibility compared to what they were).

I am a flight attendant ( right now on a leave).

I love the job- the travel, the different people and mostly the people I work with. LOVE the layovers! THat's what I miss right now.

I hate some of the things that we deal with now with security and safety.
It's more then any of us signed up for.

ALso, we had contract changes and pension los,s so things aren't what they were when I signed up.

I think its a great" job" to do for a while but am not sure it makes for a good career as I thought it would be pre 9/11.
