    I speak from experience when I say that NO ONE loves their job when they work in insurance.

    I was the office manager for a major insurance firm servicing all of Canada. For 6 years I was a miserable insomniac who turned to booze for a regular sleep aide.

    Stress-induced seizures relating to my line of work is where I drew the line though...the doctor's RX was to find an occupation that didn't make me want to go postal on my co-workers.

    This past summer, I found a job as a club manager for a gym.
    I LOVE it.
    I mean, I've been using MFP religiously for yeeeeears - tracking my habits and analyzing people's diet and exercise needs, now I just get paid to do it :happy:
    Plus the free gym membership, marketing events and getting to meet new and interesting people every day is also a major plus!

    Software Engineer (aka web programmer) for a small part of a large international corporation. I work from home full time. I wouldn't say I love my job (I do like it), but I'm good at it and it provides a very nice living for me. It also gives me time to pursue my own business ventures. I previously owned my own business for a few years before too many mistakes led to its failure (which I am still paying for) but now my business partner and I run a couple online stores which I do the programming work for. Some day, it will automatically generate residual income for us with almost no intervention whatsoever. :)

    Creative Fulfillment Manager. Sounds lovely doesn't it?

    Really I am the manager of artwork and creative writing of our fulfillment items for a direct marketing firm. I'm also in charge of ordering and implementing translations of such.

    Plus whatever else needs to be done.

    I don't like it much. Too mind numbing and I'm sure I'm going to karma hell for it.

    In my off hours I compile and 'build' books, create book covers, advertisements, CD covers etc, publish books and write.

    I like this MUCH more and am working towards making the latter my full time work, but building a strong, paying client base takes time.

    Database Engineer / Analyst for one of "The Big Four" hospital systems.

    Most of the time I hunt down mistakes in billing from insurance companies, and I help patients fight claim denials.

    I used to be a pilot, which was much more exciting.
