Do you enjoy your job? (DBA) I use to. The IT industry used to be exciting and the people were fun to be around. Now the whole thing is like chewing gum that has lost its flavor. It still chews but ...

Same job, but I don't mind it at all (it's much better than that dull place known as school).

Artist, with a day job. I move furniture in high profile store. The work atmosphere is very nice, but still..
I'd prefer to be in front of a canvas.

Careful, didn't you hear about Rico's latest honors?
I've been in the restaurant business for over twenty years, and I love it. I've held just about every position (including management), but I am best at waiting tables. That is what I currently do.

I love my job! Some days are more stressful than others, but overall I have a pretty easy going job as an art director for an ad agency.
I started off as a production artist in the industry and hated it. I upgraded my book, did some jobs on the side (even designed the CD by the country rock band Poco) and was ready to better my career. Then 9/11 hit and the already competitve industry dried up. Still, I cold called creative directors to set up networking sessions, got my face out there and have gone on to much better and bigger responsibilities. I'm even working with Rush designer Hugh Syme for a cover of our magazine. To be honest, as an average high school student who went on to college, earned a degree and has put it to work for him, I'm not ashamed to say that I'm proud of myself.

I sell western clothes, boots and the like. I like my job a lot, everyone I work with is cool I usually look foward to going to work. I don't plan on staying there too long though the pay is pretty terrible.

We don;t have a single attractive cashier, all cute girls are clerks like me, the only one from my school who's a cashier is far, with short spiked hair and gets confused with a guy all the time. It's a very busy place so it takes the whole hour to clear the lot. Unless it's later at night that is, then it's nice.

^^^ I work with a lot of very attractive girls. The only problem is that most of them are young enough to be my daughters.

Yeah, that's where my job is a little depleted. I always say that just because our two biggest accounts are agriculture related doesn't mean we need to hire girls who look like livestock!
The agency I worked at prior to this one was probably 5-6 times bigger and beautiful women were plentiful. About the only thing I miss about that place.

Yeah, it seems like almost all younger waitresses are attractive. I could never work in a restaurant though. Don't have the charisma to be a waitor, nor do I have the work ethic to be a busboy.

I'm an electrical engineer and I love my job. Couldn't picture myself doing anything else at this point.
