    I'm a full time student but I also have a part time job as a Musical Theatre teacher. After school and on weekends, I teach children aged 4-12 singing, dancing and acting skills with a focus on confidence building and I absolutely love it! It's so rewarding to see the children improve and they are all absolutely lovely- plus for someone my age to be trusted with such responsibility (I have to plan and organise my own classes plus sort the financial aspects like fees and room hire) makes me feel great about myself!

    I'm a dog trainer. I've owned and operated my own dog training business for nearly 10 years now. I train people's pets, Search & Rescue, Human remains detection, narcotics detection, and hopefully soon we'll be adding bed bug detection to the list.

    Instead of hosting classes, people just send their dogs to me and I give them back fully trained or rehabbed.

    I am a massage therapist and own my own business. About 80% of my business is working with seniors - my oldest client recently passed away at 104 and I'd been seeing her bi-weekly for six years. I really get to know my clients and enjoy them so much. It's also heartbreaking when they die, so I am considering reorganizing so that I am working with about 50% seniors (and disabled) and 50% young and healthy just so I don't burn out emotionally. I'm also a certified Senior Fitness Trainer, working to keep my clients on their feet, able to be balanced and mobile, or helping them restore balance and mobility. If they are up and moving, they are in less pain and stay healthier longer, so it is great fun to see them "get it" and start to WANT to do the exercises I give them!

    I am retail Manager The thing I love most is each day is different! Yes we sell the same merchandise everyday but something crazy always happens. For example yesterday a customer decided to pee in the ladies fitting room! This is suppose to be an upscale off price discount store! All you can do is laugh and put up a sign, rent a carpet cleaner and say ok, what next!!:laugh: :laugh:

    I am an Estate Paralegal. The thing I don't like about my job is dealing with the estate taxes... But what I love about my job, is that even though my clients are deceased... I feel like I am doing one last nice thing for them by making sure their final wishes in their wills are carried out the way they wanted :)

    i'm like a ninja! i'm a mental health nurse in the crisis team here in new zealand. it does require some ninja-like skills from time to time!
    i spend chunks of my work time between hospital, the custody suite (when people have been picked up by the cops and they think they need further assessment and input), and clients homes (where we do everything we can to manage risk and keep them home).
    i usually love my job. but sometimes i think i'd rather work in a subway sandwich shop.

    LIKE a ninja isn't the same as actually being a ninja. Your job is cool, too, but, well, NINJA.

    Program/Milieu Director for a private therapeutic boarding school and working ranch. We have 48 students 40 staff and about 45 horses. I love most that we get to work with these young men for the better part of a year and get to watch them grow from angry teenagers to confident, mature well prepared young men. It's frustrating at times, but so rewarding. I also love being a mentor to staff and watching them grow as well.

    Dance. I teach at an international dance conservatory, teach in New York's public schools for kids who have had their extracurricular programs cut (dance is great because admins count it as art AND gym!!), help manage and am a professional dancer for a historic modern dance company.

    I love, love, love everything about what I do. I love working with kids, both the conservatory kids who are the best of the best and want to be pushed and the public school kids who are just so hungry for every opportunity we give them. I also love being involved in making art - I think that's how a society records what is most meaningful to them to pass down to future generations. I love that I'm not at a desk all day.

    Dance is also awesome because I can learn so much about the human body and push myself athletically every day.

    I have the most important job. I am a parent. There is no more important job in any society than raising children.

    I have two kids. Son started college three years ago. Daughter is starting her college in September.

    What do I like the most of it?

    Loving my children no matter what and giving them unconditional love.

    Also, teaching them the sense of responsibility, promoting the development of intellectual curiosity, motivation to learn and desire to achieve, giving them good education, being reasonable with my disciplining style and not using physical punishment.

    I know that I may adjust the above paragraph when my kids send me to a nursing home in the future, but for now I believe that you cannot love your children too much.
