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

I love my job. I work from home 100% of the time. I have a boss, who is lovely, and other than that i 'work' with volunteers, all locally. It gives me community and an immense amount of job satisfaction. And it is using the skills i am very good at, without all the corporate bullshit and cross selling i used to have to put up with. I am valued and the job is very varied. Pay is terrible though!

I am an administrator for 3 churches and a deanery (as well as a volunteer in the church that is my local one of the 3).

I do love my job - secondary teacher and Head of a core department.

It is absolutely manic and can be incredibly stressful at times! However, I absolutely love being in the classroom, seeing students progress, helping them through the exam years, supporting those with tough home lives etc.

I enjoy working with people and having a job that is varied and interesting.

I do think being in the right school makes a difference though!

I genuinely love my job and am so grateful for it but also I recognise from the outside it’s nothing special! I manage a statutory service for a local authority. Sounds so boring but it absolutely fills me up - the service makes a difference to peoples lives in such a meaningful way. It was never my career aspiration, I fell into it, but I was made for it and it was made for me. Won’t be forever but right now it’s perfect despite a monstrous commute (2.5hrs drive each way). I am so motivated in it.

I work in a corporate organisation, and detest it. It pays well but every working day is a massive mental effort to get through. It’s like forcing yourself to eat something that you hate. At age 47, I can’t think of anything else I can retrain for that would come close financially, so I suck it up and live for the weekends and holidays.

Having read a few similar posts here, it is people that make a difference to someone’s life that seem to feel most fulfilled, even if paid less than they deserve.

I love the rewards of my job and the lifestyle that it facilitates and this is what I keep saying to the children. Do the hard work while you’re young get paid the absolute most you possibly can up to the age of 40 and then revisit if necessary.

I love my job. It's stressful as hell but it's what I firmly believe I was put on this earth to do. It is the most incredibly rewarding thing when all goes well.

Secondary School Science Teacher and Deputy Head of Year.

I love my job but I’ve done the same job elsewhere and hated it. For me it’s less so about the job and more about the people and culture of your team (if you have one).

I mostly love my job. I work from home in a Healthcare management role and like 80% of what I do daily. My team is great, my deliverable are manageable and I spend a lot of time creating documents which I love.

I'd probably like it less if I worked in an office.

Yes, love my job and wouldn’t want to do anything else. I’m a sign language interpreter. Well paid, work freelance so completely flexible and in control, freedom to work in any domain I want to, and enjoy what I do.

I think people that genuinely love their job won't love every single thing about it. I would say I love my job but there are some tasks I don't love and there are some aspects that I don't love. I have my own small business and make a product, it's the making I love but as you can imagine there is a lot more to it. I don't love having to use social media or doing my taxes.

I love mine. I’m a swimming teacher. Swimming is my absolute passion, hobby, life - so it’s easy to like. One of the companies I work for is so badly organised that they pay us anyway even if we have no swimmers, which is most of the time for various reasons, so I spend half my time in the gym getting paid. Love it.

so for me, it isn’t the actual job, more doing the job that is my own lifelong passion.
