    I am a high school French teacher. I love my job because I get to share my excitement for the language that I love, and work with a great bunch of kids. I'm the only French teacher in the school, so I work with the kids all four years. I love watching them grow from 9th to 12th grade and getting the opportunity to build a relationship with them that not many teachers get to have. I also love having the summers off. :)

    I am a criminal investigator (commander over an investigative unit in a municipal police department). The best part of the job is seeing the guys put together an iron-clad criminal case and sending the perp(s) to prison...and the best part of that is seeing the look on the defense attorney's faces when they lose.

    I'm a team leader in the central support office for a spectacle manufacturer. We communicate with our franchised stores, and not with the general public on status of orders and production. My favourite part is not having to deal with the public, but still staying in a customer service role. Previously I worked in a bank, and before that a petrol station. I LOVE not getting yelled at by irate customers anymore...

    I don't like having to work on a public holiday (tomorrow is one!) - but i have to because our stores will be open and they will expect the support office to be open.... :sad:

    I am a home day care provider. I keep my day care small, only up to 3 kids ages 12 weeks to Kindergarten. I usually keep the kids from infants until they go to school so my turn over rate is very low.

    I love everything about my job. I love the kids I watch and because I can be picky, even the parents too. My current client are awesome, some of the best parents I have ever had!

    I adore the ages of kids I watch too, they learn so much in that time it amazes me how much they can learn each year. I do not offer a preschool program, but after talking to several Kindergarten teachers I work more on sitting quietly during a story, listening to short directions and even lining up. I do work a little with them with colors, letter and numbers etc...

    I can't imagine how great that feels!

    I work IT support for a credit union. The best part of my job? Handing the pager to someone else when I'm not on call any more!

    I am retired from IBM and decided retirement wasn't for me (too young) so I am now in my 7th year as an attendance secretary at a local high school. Working with these kids keeps me young!

    I've been a Control Room Operator in an OSB (oriented strand board) mill for 12 years. I'm responsible for watching a dozen computer and video monitors, making sure everything is doing what it's supposed to. It can be a long, boring, 12 hr day if everything runs well. It can also be exciting and stressful if things go awry. (Think the air-traffic controllers from the old comedy movie Airplane!)

    It pays pretty well and it's close to home. The shifts are long, but that means I have more days off with my family.

    Wow - I posted this on FB as well and I've received WAY more replies from people that I don't know. I love this site for that reason. Sounds like some very interesting jobs out there. I wish I lived in a bigger town where there were more job opportunities. Keep 'em coming. I love to hear what other people do for a living.

    I'm a Classification Sergeant at a County Jail been there 15 years. I like dealing with people and the courts. I just wish some of them would figure it out and stop coming in. But it is job security.

    I am a manager for a group home with adults with mental disabilities. I really love doing my job. I have learned more from my clients than I have from anyone else. To see that I can make a difference in ones life is priceless. I wouldn't change it for the world.
