To think it's impossible to love your job? If you do love going to work, what job do you do?

I've been working in the charity sector for 15 years and I love it 95% of the time. Before this I did spend a few years doing jobs where I dreaded going in and I never want to go back to that again.

I love my job, I'm part of a team that run a forest school for teenagers who don't fit into mainstream education. I work 4 days a week, 3 days running sessions and 1 in the office.

I love my job. Hospice nurse. Absolutely there are aspects of the role im not over enamoured by, but 90% of it is just ace. The patients and their families, I have amazing colleagues. I get a huge amount of reward from my role.

I’m a Speech and Language Therapist. Been working for more than 20 years and still love it. The feeling of making a difference to children and families is incredibly rewarding.

I have gone into the independent sector now though as the NHS became unbearable.

I love my job in HR. I’ve always loved working though, no matter what I did. I get a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction from a job well done.

I’m a teacher and I love it 4 days out of 5 each week!

I am a Nurse, have been for 30 years. I love love patient care but am sick to the back teeth of working under the immense and dangerous pressure that seems to have become the norm and therefore acceptable. I would love to leave but for many reasons I can't. Oh well 11 more years and counting 😂

That sounds mega cool!!

Totally agree @LillyLeaf. I love my job, but there's definitely parts of it that I don't. However, the bother parts, the people I work with and the environment I work in more than make up for it.

I work in a 15th century manor house that's been turned into a museum and I absolutely love it.

In fact when the time comes, I won't be retiring unless my health declines.

I feel as though I'm being paid every day to indulge a hobby I've always been passionate about.

I love my job. I'm a self-employed Reflexologist and work from home so great to work around the kids. I used to be in admin and enjoyed that job to a certain extent but hated the restriction of 9 to 5 and 20 days holiday a year x

I’m the same. I like that my job facilitates a nice lifestyle and enabled me to move overseas to my dream city. The day to day? Not so much. But I think it’s a fair compromise to be able to afford practically anything I want. I’m not quite 40 but I do plan to reassess in middle-age when I may not have the energy to continue in a high-stress job.

I teach Economics. I don't love it every day, and I do get sick of working weekends, but I find teenagers entertaining and I like using my brain and solving problems.

I'm a film editor. It's great, but the deadlines can be incredibly stressful.

I love aspects of my job . Although its quite fast paced and stressful at times, rhe hours are long, and the remuneration certainly does not match the level of responsibility, its actually the politics and senior management that are the parts I dislike.
I also don't love going to work. But when i'm actually there it's fine.

I would love my job if I were part time. I'm a teacher in a really lovely school. Great kids, fab colleagues and it's a job that's never boring. The only thing wrong with my job is that there's much too much of it - the workload is unmanageable. I teach 11 classes. I reckon if I taught 7 or 8 it would be totally fine.

I'm a social worker. I used to love my job but moved to a different service last Jan and I hate my current job and am planning to leave this year. I left my last role because the commute was crap and I felt I was missing out on my son's childhood but I loved everything else about the role. I'm planning on leaving my current role because I dislike the team culture, management style, and many of the people.

I love my job. I wfh as legal advisor within a charity.

Not impossible at all. I have loved several jobs. Not enamoured of my current one now because they are being cunts to everyone but for a long period I loved it and I adored my previous career.

The tricky part is finding a job that fits you and pays enough to live on. But its absolutely possible.

I enjoy my job, and I am good at what I do - I suspect those things are related!

I don't think everyone should/does LOVE their job, and certainly unlikely that anyone loves 100% of every aspect of it, but equally, you shouldn't hate it or be made miserable by it either.

I don't understand people who bang on and on about actively hating what they do or the people they work with, but making no moves to change any part of it.

I'm an operational manager within a prison and I love my job (most of the time!!)

This post made me feel a bit sad as I really used to love my job.

I started teaching in the 90s and taught mainly Year 1 and 2. I adored it and honestly used to say that I would carry on doing it (part time!) if we won the lottery! It felt like we were doing amazing things and making a real difference.

After 25 years though, it has changed beyond belief and I really now hate it-I have left now.

It annoys me a bit when people say you shouldn't go into teaching if you were going to hate it as it was obvious what you were getting yourself into, or that if you don't like it, then leave, because I DID know exactly what I was getting myself into, but the job itself then completely changed. I am actually really sad that the job I loved doesn't now exist.

As to people who love their jobs-I can think of one in admin who does, one midwife and two counsellors (though both of them do liken it to a very expensive hobby rather than a job that actually makes them a living wage 😂).

I love my job (freelance consultant)- I choose my hours, my clients, it pays incredibly well.

However, despite all that, would I rather not work at all? Obviously. A job is still a job at the end of the day.

For the most part I love my job, but I don’t like the extra responsibilities I now hold, and I always dread going back after the holidays. I’m a primary school teacher, phase leader and SENCO. I was much happier as just a classroom teacher but I couldn’t afford to live on the salary if I stepped down.

I work in a hospice and I love my job 😊 I was a GP before and fell out of love with that. My colleagues are mostly fabulous and I have huge job satisfaction
