This is my third week but seriously, it's awesome. I had worked in higher ed marketing and communications for the past 8 years but made a career shift to grant writing, fundraising, and communications for a non profit. It's crazy busy right now and I actually pulled an all-nighter writing a grant (5 due in my first 3 weeks of working here ) but I didn't mind. Tomorrow I get to go meet with guidance counselors at a junior high to talk about doing an anti-bullying and sexual harassment course for the kids, their parents, and school staff. I love my work! Happy I waited for the right one to come along. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-jobcareer/page/2#post-1141409 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 19:32:54 +0000 anonysquire 1141409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love my patients but hate my coworkers.

I teach full day pre-k and its awesome. Even though its exhausting and my patience gets tried every single day, the kids always make me smile and its so worth it to see how much they learn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-jobcareer#post-1138017 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 11:07:01 +0000 Sophia 1138017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work in HR. I used to love my job, now my opinion seems to change daily (sometimes hourly). I'm stuck in a rut and feeling sorry for myself. I made a department change just about a year ago and I am just filled with regret. I need to let it go, and I'm trying...I'm just not there yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-jobcareer#post-1138006 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 11:01:48 +0000 lemondrop 1138006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I teach at a career college- parts of it I love, other parts not so much. There's a lot of bureaucracy that gets old and I have a never ending amount of work at home- grading never ends. </p> <p>My real passion is curriculum development and tutoring my seniors and graduates for their boards- I can't ever get enough of that part of the job. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-jobcareer#post-1137999 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 11:00:29 +0000 MamaMoose 1137999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do! I'm a financial advisor. It can be stressful and overwhelming at times but the work is challenging and fulfilling and I love helping our clients! Also, once I'm more established it will be a great career that will allow me to earn a very nice living while having flexible hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-jobcareer#post-1137989 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 10:57:11 +0000 LuLu Mom 1137989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a good job/career, I'm in marketing, however I am not in love with it or passionate about it and to me it's more a job that pays the bills, but it is not necessarily fullfilling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-jobcareer#post-1137982 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 10:55:24 +0000 pui 1137982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I do.

I love my school &amp; my coworkers. It can be exhausting at times, but I really do enjoy it. I'm hoping to be a SAHM for a while when our LO arrives, but always imagine myself doing something in education. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-jobcareer#post-1137948 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 10:44:03 +0000 mrsjyw 1137948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a consultant at a global HR Firm. Basically project/people management corporate office job. I love the fact that I am well compensated and have the flexibility of a in home/office schedule. I love my team, the corporate support, and it's a really family-friendly environment. But, I'm going through a phase of not being mentally challenged, I'm debating looking into other groups within the company. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-jobcareer#post-1137878 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 10:14:41 +0000 LovelyPlum 1137878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsKoala: s.e.r.i.o.u.s.l.y. I was thinking about you the other day, actually. Perhaps this is a better wall conversation, since it would completely de-rail this thread...but I hope you're feeling better! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-jobcareer#post-1137873 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 10:11:31 +0000 bpcmarj 1137873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I freaking love my job. I just started working in an admin position at a small high school. I also cover many study halls, so I get to interact with students that way, too. I always thought that I wanted to teach, but I am actually finding that I enjoy being on the other side of the coin and dealing with the nuts and bolts of everyday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-jobcareer#post-1137871 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 10:11:03 +0000 lindseykaye 1137871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep - love my current job! I am a quality assurance supervisor for an environmental analytical laboratory. I was a lab analyst for years and sometimes I miss the day-to-day of doing <i>actual</i> science work but in this position I get a lot of pride in ensuring that our work is of the highest quality. I don't know if I want to stay in the environmental field forever, and am considering a change/promotion to enter the food science industry. Someday I may want to become an auditor and review laboratories for their accreditation, but they're a little bit like the ref's - people love to hate them :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-jobcareer#post-1137864 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 10:09:25 +0000 Lindsay05 1137864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't mind my job. I am an exercise therapist so I work with people recovering from injuries, general fitness and also those with chronic disease. It can be very rewarding at times but at the same time it can be very repetitive. The worst thing about my job is that it is with a union and it does have it's benefits, I am also maxed out on how much I could possibly earn. If I went to a private clinic, the pay is usually substantially lower but probably more performance based. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-jobcareer#post-1137832 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 09:50:51 +0000 IRunForFun 1137832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like what I do, in that I'm writing, and I love to write, but I don't like my particular job right now. It's for a small newspaper, and that field is struggling, so the salary is a pittance, plus I strongly dislike two of my four coworkers, so...yeah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-jobcareer#post-1137827 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 09:45:23 +0000 dolphin 1137827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i just celebrated my ten year anniversary at my company this week! i'm a graphic designer at a marketing + design firm specializing in higher education. i love what i do and the people i do it with. it's true what they say...work doesn't feel like work when it's something you enjoy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-jobcareer#post-1137826 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 09:45:15 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1137826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my career.
