    I think this thread shows no-one is happy in their job!!!
    I am, I just don't like 1) the commute or 2) the environment-- florescent lighting.

    Getting my masters in social work. Would give it up in a heartbeat to write and travel full time, but we can't all be on the travel channel. What an interesting post!

    I'm a real estate appraiser. I like it because I only work about 15 hours a week and still make pretty good money.

    I'd rather not work at all. I guess I should buy some lottery tickets.

    Since I graduated college in 2010, I've been a naturalist, fisheries observer in Alaska, deckhand on a cruise ship, and back to fisheries observing.

    Goal this year: I'm tired of the compliance part of observing, and hoping to get a wildland firefighter job this summer. I'm not quite ready for a desk job yet!

    Sales assistant in Bakers Delight. Soon to be trained higher, then management level & them hopefully by my 40th birthday I'll be further than that. I got a year & a half to do it.


    Would not change a thing.

    Registered nurse--used to love it but healthcare has changed a lot lately! Still hanging in there.

    Dream job would be to be in the arts: musician, creative writer, design, etc.

    Fantasy job: anything associated with the circus. I love that scene: clowns, circus animals, trapeze artists, happy smiling and amazed kids.
