I'm a Credit Risk Analyst for a major Investment Bank - love the pay; love my career....

However, I just started my own business, and hopefully that takes off and I won't have to work for someone else!

DH LOVES his job - works for the NY Mets Organization - advertising sales during the off-season, and he's production/video during the season.

For the past six years I was an account executive selling radio advertising - pay was amazing. In the beginning of the year I quit and am now a real estate agent. I love it so far.

My DH is a 4th grade teacher and runs an afterschool program.

I don't know what my official title is, but I sell promotional products (anything w/ a logo on it) to fashion trade- basically- if you see a clutch or t-shirt in a magazine like cosmopolitan that is the type of stuff I do- i also do the marketing for the company as well (it's small- so I wear many hats)

DH is in sales & marketing for a synthetic oil manufacturer- he likes it but i thin it is Chat Icon

I work for a radio advertising company in NYC for almost 4 yrs now.
Do I love it-NO but I don't hate it so much that I can't stand going to work everyday. I am looking for a new job-hopefully soon something will come up. I also don't wanna leave my job now than hate my next job even more..cause I know that the grass isn't always greener on the other side!!!

I am a psychiatric social worker/therapist and work for the state. I love my job but it is demanding and the kids can really break your heart at times. The pay isn't great but it's much better than many other places. Social workers are so underpaid for what we do!

DH does the same and also works for the state but in a different location.

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

I'm in Insurance. It pays well and I work for a GREAT company with fabulous people. My only MAJOR compliant...if you know me you know my job is soooo NOT ME. Thankfully I have a boss that is working with me to get at least some of my attention focused elsewhere in the company with training, etc. All in all I search other avenues that would suit me much better, but $$$ is a huge factor and the other things I was interested in not only did I have to go back to school, but I also had to take a tremendous paycut. Not worth it IMHO. If the company I worked for was bad or the people were bad I would have considered it more than I did, but you can't have everything.

DH is a car salesman. He LOVES his job. He also is blessed with working for a GREAT dealership. Family owned & operated. Great guys.

We're both blessed for working with great people - great family companies.

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

I'm a software application administrator for a large company here on the Island. It pays the bills. We are being acquired and there is some concern about who's getting laid off, so right now I love my job!

My husband is in construction and hates his job.

I feel like if I loved my job that my life would be so much better, as would his. Well, we'd be happier people. That's not to say we're miserable, but if we got satisfaction from our lives as a whole, I think things could be even better.

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

I was in public accounting for two years and just got out. I hated it most of the time. I did work with great people and the pay was okay (not great though, considering I have my MBA). I just took a job as a financial analyst at a Research / Teaching Hospital. I am hoping I grow to LOVE working there (I start on Monday!).

DH is a police officer, and most of the time he loves it.

I'm a speech pathologist, but a SAHM for the time being. I love working with the kids and the job can be very rewarding. I also love the flexibility because now that I have DS I'm thinking of working PT in the future.

I was a high school dean last year and hated it. Now I am a counselor again and love it.

My DH is in sales- he likes his current job but isn't fond of his profession. He would like to win lotto and start a mentoring program for teens

High School teacher. No, I no longer love it.

For matters of self-preservation, I leave my job at my job. I don't allow it to stress me out nor do I "emotionally" carry around kids problems.

My Dad had a stroke from stress at age 57. I'm not letting the same happen to me.
