    Software Developer. And yes, I love it.

    Retired now. But when I worked, I was a work group supervisor for a 3 shift operation of about 35 technicians who repaired computer flight control systems for the Department of Defense. For all branches. I did not enjoy it. It paid really well and I had great benefits and now am reaping the rewards from it. I Love retirement.

    I own and operate a lawn care company. I was fed up with how the big guys do things. Thought I could do it better. I was right.

    IT schlub. My job has its perks, but saying I enjoy it would be a stretch to say the least. I, like the vast majority of employed people, do what I do because I have bills to pay, not because I actually *like* what I do.

    Anonymous cog in the wheel, and all that.

    I'm a county tax collector. It's easy, it pays well, has room for growth but it's damn boring.

    I am an English teacher at a private institute (this is a Spanish speaking country).

    I normally love my job, but it depends a lot on the students. For the most part my kids are awesome and make my job feel more like a hobbie than a job, but when I get the rare spoiled brat who wants to disrupt the class and prevent everyone else from learning, that's when my job sucks and becomes stressful. You gotta handle children with silk gloves, because hell knows no fury like that of an entitled parent.

    Teaching adults is almost entirely a pleasant experience through and through because unlike kids, they actually WANT to learn English.

    IT analyst, 24/7/365 monitoring of my company's infrastructure and systems (we're a global IT infrastructure provider). I love the work itself and it's never boring, when systems don't break for any other reasons you can bank on some consultant breaking something by not planning his work properly or forgetting to disable systems before they start working. When everything's working exactly as it should it could be boring but there's always plex or something on the tv to keep you occupied.

    I did not pull the trigger or give the orders. That is somewhat like blaming General Foods for supplying troops with cereal. But what we did, did help your ass from being nuked. lol!

    I work as a nuclear medicine technologist. Mostly diagnostics, but occasionally administer radiation therapies for hyperthyroidism, cancer, neuroendocrine tumors, etc. It's pretty easy work and most patients are easy to work with. You do get a fair bit of gamma/beta/x-ray exposure over time though.

    Enjoy it for the most part, you see a lot of cancer cases but you also get to see people improve as their treatments progress. When I was working at the university of alberta hospital and cross cancer institute during my practicum we got a lot more of the depressing/dark cases (ie: kids with cancer, kids who are brain-dead from parental abuse and are being scanned to see if their organs can be harvested, etc.).
    Take a break from politics once in awhile, it's good for you.

    Do not pay any attention to those guys you see in the Mall with dark suits and sunglasses on. They are not dangerous. Only observing.
