I love my job. It's a heavy workload but very satisfying. I work in project management. I work in a team but the project is managed solely by me but with assistance from my amazing colleagues when I need it and I love it!

I love my job most of the time Smile
The only things I would change is pay, and public recognition of what my job entails - a lot if people presume that I spend my time cuddling puppies and kittens (when in reality that is a very, very small part of the job - and then only if there is time).
I'm a Registered Veterinary Nurse.

I am currently having a career crisis as I hate my (very good, so I can’t complain too much) job and feel trapped on my career path.

It’s reassuring to read about people who love their jobs and know it is possible!

Im a nurse and I love it (now). Id like to add here that im not a hospital nurse - I did that for 6 years and hated it in the end.

Teacher (secondary) love it and always have. Amazing colleagues and I love teenagers - they make me laugh everyday 😁

I love my job (knowledge management) but it’s sometimes mentally quite tough.
I head up a large team with multiple directives and I set my own objectives based on the firm’s business requirements so I have to come up with and drive the efficiencies.
The hard work is always engaging myself to drive the changes and find the gaps that need plugging, then moving my team about to address the changes.
It’s a combination of people chess, engaging the heads of the business and then considering process on a global scale that sometimes makes my head explode.
But I love it, it’s rewarding, I get paid a fair whack and I’m very good at it.

I conduct public assistance appeals. I love it. It's something different every day.

I adore my job and have worked here for 14 years now.
I work at a major UK tourist attraction as the manager for their public engagement and events.
The site is incredible and I feel really privileged to see it in a way that so few people are able to. The job is a constant variety and although it does get very stressful (especially following the last year) there is always something great to come in to each day. I feel very lucky.

I’m an educational psychologist and run a small private practice. We specialise in helping schools and families support children and young people who are neurodiverse or who have experienced developmental trauma. It’s interesting, flexible, useful work and also fits in well with home life.

I love and hate my job on a daily basis! Children's social worker. I love the job, the system and workload drives me nuts. But I really enjoy the time spent with the children, and I do like the challenge.

Some great answers here!

@RosieposiePuddingandPi are you working at a Zoo? I love zoo's that have conservation work at the heart of them.

Im a supported housing coordinator . i love the people i work with, the company is great and i love the people who live in our complexes.....well ...most of them anyway! Days can be busy but some days can be quiet. The only thing i would change is working weekends but then again , i love having days off during the week from time to time Grin
