    A little getting to know you question.

    I'm a professional blogger, and there isn't anything else I'd rather be doing.  Except maybe running a no kill animal shelter, but that's a dream for when I'm a bit older. 

    Your turn!

    I'm an aerospace engineer and some days I love it (I work with satellites, rockets and spaceraft...cool) and  other days its extremely stressful and I dont.

     I would much rather own a small bakery or craft store.

    I'm in Advertising Sales for a newspaper. There are times when I love it - no 9-5 office hours, press passes, free city ballet tickets, AMAZING coworkers but sometimes not so much - unsteady income, being a "solicitor".

    What I really wish for is one of these days I will do wedding photography and make cards/invitations on the side when my wedding is over!!

    I run the front desk at an office.  I definitely don't love it, esp. when it looks so incredibly lame and talentless next to lawyers, aerospace engineers, and crime scene investigators.  Ugh.

    The worst part is that I DON'T know what I'd rather be doing.  I was the kid that never had an answer to the "what do you want to do when you grow up?" question...and I still don't.

    So glad my English degree is getting me somewhere.

    *sigh*

    I do a bunch of mail- and data-related things for a cancer research organization in Boston (Dana-Farber, for all the Bostonians in Weddingbee land).  I interned in the same office during my last year of college and jumped at a full-time position that opened up just as my internship was ending.

    I don't love my job; the work I do is monotonous and pretty boring in itself, but I absolutely adore my co-workers, the mission of the organization, and the smiles and happy "hello!"s that I get from every single person I see at work.  It's the most positive place I've ever been in my life.  I laugh every single day, which is great.

    I don't always enjoy my job, but I enjoy the knowledge that people benefit from it.  I feel lucky to have had a job right out of college. And I have absolutely no idea what I want to "do with my life," so I don't know what I would be doing if I wasn't doing this.  I do hate sitting down, though; not just in a work setting -- pretty much anytime.  I miss my retail job from college because it allowed me to be on my feet all day.  

    For a while I thought I would eventually try to switch to another department within the same organization, one where I could make use of my journalism degree...but the only type of writing I enjoy anymore is blogging.  College journalism classes killed much of my love of writing.

    I love both my jobs. 

    My full time job is as an Registered Nurse on a oncology/med surg floor.  It's busy and chaotic and crazy.  I love it!  

    My part time job is a Nursing Clinicals instructor at the local community college.  I love this too!   I make great money and it's super easy.  It's also a great feeling to re-assure the baby nurses that it's all going to be ok. I love this job so much I am considering going back to school for my master's in Nursing Education.

    I'm an investment banker.  I enjoy working with my colleagues (who are pretty atypical for bankers) and I'm learning a lot in order to set myself up for my dream job.  I can't say I actually love it though, since ultimately I don't see myself continuing in this field.

    What I really loved was surgery-- although I knew if I made a career out of it I'd be miserable.

    My ideal job, then, is blending my healthcare and finance background to run a nonprofit; hopefully that'll materialize in the next 5-10 years.

    Currently, I'm a student, but I'm finished with classes and starting my externships. In May, I will graduate and be a speech-language pathologist!  I'm so excited! I LOVE this career choice and in times like this when people are losing jobs and struggling to keep their homes, I have people trying to hire me months before I even graduate!

    I'm a reporter and editor for a newspaper group that publishes 22 weeklies. I love lots of things about it, but it's not the best fit with my personality (I'm pretty high-strung and the stress gets to me).

    I'd love to do something a little more creative and more stable, especially with the newspaper industry the way it is right now. Does that combination even exist?

    My husband and I are both teachers and we both love our jobs!  I teach High School English and he teaches Middle School History. If it weren't for politics and grading, teaching would not even be work!

    For all the lawyers out there -- my husband went to boalt, practiced law for a year, and decided he hated it.  So, he quit and went back to school to be a teacher!

    I'm an athletic trainer and I LOVE it.  For those who don't know, an athletic trainer is the one who runs out on the football field when someone gets hurt, lol.

    I work most of my day in a physical therapy clinic, helping people of all ages get back on thier feet and in shape.  THe other time I am at a high school making sure all the student athletes are healthy andready to play.

    I get to help people each and every day, what's not to love about that?

    I'm a teacher right now.  I work at an after school program, so it's not a "real" teacher as some would say.  I LOVE the kids and most of my coworkers.  My director is annoying and other stupid drama & office politics.  But, it's a part time job and when you are wanting to buy a house you need a full time job.  I don't think I want to go into actual teaching, so not sure what to do with myself.  Anyone have any ideas for someone with a BA in Child & Adolescent Development?

    My hubby is a firefighter and LOVES his job and always knew what he wanted to do so he's doesn't quite get how I'm still trying to figure it out for myself.

    @Crabcake- I loved Hem/Onc. I am an RN too for a children's hospital. I like my job- but is certainly depends on the day. Currently I am in a Masters Degree program working on my CNS/PNP. I love being in a continuing education program, it is re-energizing my interest in my profession. It is just time to get more involved is all.

    I'm a lawyer and I LOVE it!!!!  I'm sorry to hear that so many other lawyers are so unsatisfied with their jobs :-(

    If I wasn't a lawyer I'd want to be an event planner or I'd want to have have a ranch where a bunch of homeless animals could live. I guess that's not really a job but it's my ultimate dream.

    I'm currently a Human Resources professional, 8-5 desk work, pretty boring, I need more people interaction -- you would think HR I would have more interaction with people but I don't, ugh. Today was a particularly frustrating day.

    I am a Physician Assistant in my own Dermatology practice, well a partner with 2 docs. I Love what I do, particularly Derm for the wide range of patients (babies, kids, teens, vain women like myself, and the elderly) as well as surgery/procedures, lasers, and augmentations! I also am blessed to be a partner and run my own practice as there aren't many in my position. Lastly so very blessed to be in recession proof Medicine!

I work full time with a counterdrug program (they provide training for law enforcement, recon drug deals and educate kids on the effects of drugs) as a full-time guardsman doing all their promotional (brochures, flyers, annual reports, website, etc.) work.
    LOVE IT! There is no place that would pay me what I get paid and give me the benefits that the military does doing what I love to do.

    I'm a clinical pharmacist.  I don't love my job, but i don't hate it either.  It pays well and get me by.  I wish I could do something more fun with my life, but I don't have very many creative skills.  Somedays I wish I just went to medical school, since it takes just as long.  If I went, I'd almost be done with residency.  Sigh.  Or I wish I took dance when I was younger and became a dancer.  Oh well, this is the life I chose.  Can't turn back now because of all the debt.
