Do you really like your Job ?

i envy those that really like their job AND the company they work for.

I don't mind what I do, but I really really don't like , nor trust , the company I work for now. We were a privately owned company that got bought out by our biggest competitor , thus we have lost the more personal aspect, plus we are still sort of despised, in my mind, by those that once competed very hard against us.
It's been two years now and after each yearly review with them, although they mention that I am doing a great job, they have given me no raises even though our company is thriving.

If I had another offer in the same salary range I would be gone in a heartbeat.

So you guys, or gals, that enjoy what you are doing and who for, congrats , I envy you

I enjoy my job and teaching and coaching. Although I dont make a ton of money, i can go to school in shorts or sweats, with nike shoes, and teach health and phys.ed everyday. I also enjoy coaching and hoping this year i can get the varsity baseball job! I also cant complain about the benefits and having the summers off even though I teach summer phys.ed which is only in June so yeah I can not complain. I guess what sucks is that the amount of debt me and my wife are in due to student loans, but hey that is part of schooling aspect, and it is only going to get worse....

tis is the first job ive ever really really liked

i did pharmaceutical sales before and was micro manged to death.

i work in outside sales for a company that sells capital equipment. I work from home when im not traveling and am usually at home 3-4 days per week. By working at home i mean i can do whatever i want, just need to respond to emails. My closest boss is in boston. The stuff we sell is expensive so there's no cold calling, our customers call us. Get to travel to fun places alot for tradeshows, i.e. 4 or 5 paid trips to vegas every year. me likey.

I'm between jobs at the moment, but I really liked my previous job. I worked at a sperm bank and was fired for drinking on the job.
