currently stuck in a career I’m not happy in. Would love to find something I love and leave the corporate world for good.

If you love your job what is it that you do?

I teach and have done for more than 25 years.
It definitely drives me crazy sometimes, and can be very challenging, but I wouldn't do anything else.

School safeguarding Lead. The job is fascinating and rewarding, my colleagues are great and the kids are delightful. Well, they're delightful most of the time! 😅

Yes I run my own business teaching people how to get into the media and I love it! I left secondary school teaching about 8 years ago and it’s so lovely not dreading going to work!

I’m a solicitor.

Stressed up to the eyeballs, so it’s a good
job I love it 😂.

I am a carer. Money is not very good but I love the people I work with, they really are amazing.
I would love to be a nurse in mental health.
Unfortunately I am just not academic enough

I work in brand/marketing consultancy. But it wouldn't be for everyone.

Have cottages I rent out as holiday accommodation. Have taken time out due to recent surgery and more to come. I won't go back to it, but not sure what job to do next.

Social worker. I love my job.

OldChinaJug · 12/11/2024 19:34

I'm a teacher.

Sometimes it drives me crazy but I love it and, on days like today especially, I can't imagine ever wanting to do anything else.

LittleRedRidingHoody · 12/11/2024 19:26

I'm in corporate (tech) so not much help 😂

But I used to work as a manager in a retail warehouse and was surprised at how many people quit the corporate world and joined on minimum wage. Some of it takes getting used to (micromanaging/treated like an idiot sometimes/customers!) but I found a few stuck around and actually enjoyed the novelty of moving around/not being stuck behind a desk.

Mumtoabeast · 12/11/2024 19:26

Hairdresser here, absolutely love it!
