How many of you love your job

I do! I work in young persons mental health, specifically eating disorders supporting them to remain out of hospital. I love that I am able to offer help and support very swiftly. It can be a really tough journey but I get to work the whole family for an extended period of time.

i retrained as a mental health nurse in my late 30’s

May I ask how old you were when you finished childminding? I am a cm of 16 years and wondering how long I can last....

I adore my job. I’m a primary teacher and couldn’t imagine doing anything else. It is stressful at times and I spend far too many hours working but I LOVE it.

I like most if the people there

Me too!30 years and still love it.

I used to love my job. Like wpuod have still done it even if I won the lottery loved it. Was a midwife on labour ward. Then I switched roles to a community based role that fit around the kids better, I don’t hate it but I’m perimenopausal, knackered and I take it home with me now. I feel like I’m losing the love for my job to be honest. It’s sad, I used to feel so lucky to adore what I did.

I'm a rehabilitationist for a cochlear implant team.

The job itself is interesting and satisfying plus our team is lovely.

I do. I'm an IT trainer, I deliver courses for companies and the public. Its a private company but I have somewhat autonomy on which courses I deliver and how I do it. I also write some courses.
After working for 20 years in IT it's amazing. I also get to travel usually to industrial estates but some cool cities in Europe and USA.
Used to be a TEFL teacher travelling the world it was amazing but crap money.
Now I'm on good money ( not MN good money but £70 ish)

I love my job too - working with SEN children
Isn't it lovely to have a happy, positive thread for a change !! Thanks OP

I love my job most of the time! I feel much more fulfilled working on farms than I did when I was teaching. I loved the children, but it was the adults around them who made the job hard work!

I like working with animals. Despite seeing and dealing with hundreds of them every day, they are nowhere near as exhausting to deal with than the same amount of people on a daily basis. It's good to look back over the days, and the animals, and see that you've done a good job, and always tried your best. I also love the spring and summer days when my dog comes to work with me, because it makes me feel like a proud parent to watch her having grown from a tiny pup to a confident working sheepdog.

I’m a Specialist Speech and Language Therapist. Fell into it 25 years ago and never regretted it. Great work life balance, flexible, rewarding…..but I’ve come out of the NHS.

I love mine, work in hospitality. First place I've loved working since I left retail in 2016. I've been up and down mentally for the last couple of years, and this year has been the first year in a while I've actually looked forward to the festivities and been at work. It's been manic, but worth every minute.

I love my job. I’m a specialist bra fitter and work with some lovely people, both staff members and customers. There’s often an element of personal counselling, emotional support and body confidence boosting, being half naked seems to embolden people to confide in you!
The difference you can make to someone’s entire existence in as little as half an hour cannot be overstated. Job satisfaction is unmatched.

I do genuinely enjoy my job and never dread Monday or returning after AL.

I love my job.

I am a Reprographics Tech in a secondary school. Pay is not good, but considering my hours, it also isn't bad. Recommend to anyone introverted!

Homelessness Prevention Officer - massively varied job, especially in today's economic climate! And I absolutely love it. Previously worked in education and then domestic abuse support services. Also loved both of these jobs but my current job is my favourite.

Yes love mine -
good salary, home based
no commute , flexible hours, can buy additional annual leave, all meetings can be attended remotely, no dress code , well respected, decent colleagues, better than average boss. Don’t need to work over my hours any more and can do the admin side with my eyes closed and one hand tied behind my back
After years of graft very very cushty place to be now - love it

I’m in HE professional services and love it, despite all the challenges in the sector at the moment. As I’m quite senior and in a reasonably niche (and externally funded) role I’m not concerned for my job, and we have secured some very welcome new funding recently. It’s hard at times but I just love the challenges it gives me. I’m not due back to work til next Monday but I’ll be voluntarily catching up on a few bits tomorrow (DH is working tomorrow) to make my life easier next week.

I love my job. I am the CEO of a very small charity. Lots of pressure and uncertainty but I genuinely thrive.
It’s part of my role to create a supportive and flexible culture and I enjoy seeing my team develop and fulfill their potential.

I do enjoy my job,I can't imagine doing anything else. I am a Primary School teacher. Yes there are tough days but no two days are the same, I make a genuine difference and I get paid well for doing it.

I really like my job. It's a second career .
I'm a self employed Counsellor/Therapist.

I get to choose who I have as clients and the type of issues to work with.

Can't believe how many people love their jobs. I'm impressed. I work in project management and hate my current role. We continuously underdeliver to our clients due to lack of resources poor leadership. I'm seriously considering leaving.

I work in learning and organisational development. It can be intensely frustrating at times (when you set out all the evidence that the organisation needs to change its thinking about something or invest in its people and instead senior management nod wisely and then say they've decided to give everyone a free banana on a Friday to thank them for their hard work and keep going exactly as they are). It's also incredibly rewarding when you work with a team who then find all their hidden strengths or learn how to work together more effectively, or realise they're actually brilliant but just lack confidence, or you manage to help them unlock a little bit of thinking that's been holding them back.

I work on the checkouts at a well known store & love it (mostly!). The actual job is great & I count some of my colleagues as friends. I just get frustrated by some of the technology or rather lack of it! We were supposed to have new tills a while back but they turned out to be secondhand.

I love mine ❤️ I’ve been a children’s book illustrator for 13 years,

my agents are brilliant, I work around my family’s needs from home and I’ve worked on some really exciting projects over the years, from sticker books to celebrity titles
