    I'm an American Sign Language Interpreter and YES I absolutely love my profession! It's challenging, dynamic, human focused, and very rewarding. I work in every setting imaginable, so I never get bored and my brain gets to work double time to process and produce two languages. Coolest. Job. Ever.

    SAP Security Analyst/Architect for an energy company. I'm good at what I do, I love my company and my co-workers, but I'd much rather do something creative for a living.

    Amen to that! I'm in the same boat. I'm good at what I do, but want a job I love!

    I have 3 jobs. I am a video editor, makeup artist (as beauty editor and makeup consultant), and I have a makeup webshop. I really love, love, love them both, and I am good at them.:) My favorite is the makeup consultation. I love, when I can help to boost someone's confidence.

    I'm staying at home with my eleven week old daughter until she's one. I can't bring myself to leave this little booger yet and she's only a baby for one year. Thinking about that makes me sad so I just be with her :D

    But I have my cosmetology license to do hair which I'll go back to doing when I'm ready. I have an associates in business too. But I haven't used that for anything. I think it's pretty much worthless lol.

    Currently I am a Retail Loss prevention investigator... I arrest people for theft and fraud and such. Some days I love it... some days I hate it.

    My store is closing soon so I am hoping to go back to school at that time... not sure what for.

    Scientist (reproductive biologist). Most of the time I love my job! I was a stay home mom for 7 years though, and sometimes I miss it (my kids are still only 4 and 8 and I wish I had more time to spend with them). Staying home with kids is definitely the hardest job I ever had though! :)

    I quote costs and pricing for custom printed labels and tags. I'm good at what I do, and now I'm BORED all the time. So I spend lots of time screwing aroudn on MFP forums. I need a new job, but this one pays so good, and I have 4 weeks vacation, it's hard to leave.

    Police Dispatcher for a University Police Department. I love my job, helping people solve their problems and I work with a great bunch of people.

    I previously worked full time for a IT Help Desk, I loved it but got burned out way too quickly and ballooned to over 330 pounds

    Other than a few serious, memorable calls I can let it go at the end of the day and am much happier

    Run a game shop, really love it and all the stress when it comes to paying bills and filing VAT, but I do it all myself, we don't have an accountant. Some day I'd like to take a salary! I work 6 days a week and 1 evening each week!
    I've got 4 children all at school but when I go home I'm mummy!
    I was a primary teacher then army wife for 12 years, but this job is the best!

    I'm an administrative assistant and I don't just hate it, I LOATHE it.

    When I graduated college I had my own business (started with my ex) and we ran an adult entertainment production company... until we got divorced. It's kind of hard to put "p0rn producer" on your resume so I'm stuck working office gigs when my real passion is... well, passion. :grumble: :blushing: :devil:
