Are you happy in your job?

Corp Finance in Life Sciences. To move up you do sacrifice but have lived and travelled all over the world. What we do makes a difference which helps. And able to live better than I ever dreamed, highly educate my children so they are not burdened with debt and have a secure retirement makes the tedium of the day to day not so important. Plus I have a large team of Milennials that keep me laughing and I hope I am passing some street savvy back to them.0

They treat me well, appreciate me, and it's a very low-stress job. I am happy about that.
However, I miss working in the animal welfare industry and feeling like I'm doing something that matters. Right now I just go to my job Mon-Fri waiting on the weekend, and then it starts all over again. I miss doing something I'm passionate about. This eats at me daily.
I do too, and so I volunteer for causes that are important to me.
I volunteer for a local pit bull rescue to try and get my fix. Still, I know I could be doing more if I had the time to dedicate.0 -
It's alright I guess. Some days are better than the ones where you get chewed out. A LOT0

Sometimes I love my job, I work as a customer service rep for a Medicare plan. But sometimes the company just cant get its s*** together and I don't like being the front line of contact when that happens. But all in all, I get paid well to help people so ill deal with it for awhile.0

Great question. I was a recruiter then employment coach for fortune 100 companies and have heard many responses to this question. I LOVED what I did. But, like @callsitlikeiseeit, who is in a similar role, it can have a burnout factor. I've been on disability for almost 3 years now and while I miss helping people, I don't miss the mental toll it took on me.0

One thing I never understand is when people assume nurses make tons of money.
They should though, for all they go through!0 -
I kmow plenty of nurses who make $100,000+ per year and drive luxury cars.0
-
I would of course like to make more money, but I like what I do at my job and like the people.0

I can't complain I enjoy what I do. It could however be more exciting that's why I'm earning my degree Organizational Leadership (which my job is paying for) to hopefully compete for better opportunities in the future.
I'm administrator at Berkeley Nat'l Lab0 -
Maintenance Mechanic, its ok most days, depending on what breaks lol0 -
Not even BSN (the majority anyway) make that much. It really varies by region, experience and unit/specialty. I could move to a different state and get paid $15-20 more per hour than what I do, possibly more, but living cost would be higher as well. Those who have a MSN...CRNP or CRNA...they are the ones making more money, understandably.
Long term goal is to get MSN, but for right now I'm perfectly happy.0 -
my hobby job is sitting dogs in my own home. I love it!! i do overnights and many dogs stay for quite a few days at a time. i get to meet awesome new dogs, and it helps me manage my need for animal hording. i have another job as an admin assistant that i do primary from home that i have a love/hate relationship with. But any job that pays me to stay away from the office is a keeper. lol0

I like my gig. It's stressful at times but cool. Oh, I'm a firefighter. Wish the pay was better tho0

Yeah it's ok. I wouldn't say I love it, or it's what I ultimately want to do but I don't have any issues and it's far better than my previous job.
Left my job in retail last year, *kitten* hours (huge lack of sleep), barely above minimum wage, no opportunities for progression and half the year it was incredibly dull! May-Oct = fine/busy. The rest of the year with the exception of the week before Xmas and a few days over Easter, nothing. Some people loved getting paid to stand around, I'd rather be doing something.
Currently work in pensions, 9-5, weekends/bank holidays off, I always have work to do, half the commute, and opportunities for training/progression if I wanted it. I wouldn't mind a bit more pay but even that's more than my old job so can't really complain.0 -
I'm with the post that, basically, said that my job is a means to an end--like my days off to enjoy myself...I don't HATE my job, I don't LOVE it...The pay is good for my field, and the benefits are fantastic(excellent health care and pension.) When I'm had a bad day, I keep all of this in mind...All in all, I'm satisfied with my life's work...0

I love what I do.
I'm a wellness coach, personal trainer and aquatic fitness instructor. I'm self-employed, even though some of my assignments come from being employed by various organizations. I'm also a watercolor artist as a foil for all the people stuff I deal with.0 -
I am self employed and absolutely love it!! It is a lot of work and stress but I will never want to go work at an agency again.0
