I like my coworkers a lot, but the particular position I'm in now has a pretty high burnout rate and after only a month I totally get why. I come home tense most days!
Do you like your job? What do you do?
I work reception in a county assistance office.

I used to love it. I don't anymore. I do HIV/AIDS specialty social work, and I'm occasionally on call as a rape crisis counselor.

I hate it, but it's the best I can get without a degree and I need to stay at least until we have a LO. I work in tech support getting paid way too little for what I have to deal with.

It's not my dream job, but yes I love it. I won't even try to explain it because it will bore you to tears but I get to use my mind all day, set my own schedule and socialize. I'm struggling with the idea of becoming a SAHM right now and I just can't get myself to leave my job..

Yep!!! I'm a dentist and I work with mostly kids all day! Love! The only thing that could be better is if I saw 100% kids.

Not really. I picked a major and career based on paying the bills and I'm always looking at other job options that would work with my degree.

I love my job. It is incredibly fulfilling.
I work in higher ed on the student services side of things.

I'm a Realtor. I do like it. It can be stressful working only for commission! I still work part time as an assistant.

Nope! So I'm starting the process of going back to school to become a nurse. 
I've never felt so happy about a decision, even though it's about as different a career path from my current one as possible.

I design software so that it's user friendly and I like it a lot. My current job can be kind of crazy though. Lots of meetings, lots of stakeholders, lots of opinions.

Eh. I like parts of it but don't really like dealing with the super rich (I.e. Our board) (marketing/pr for a non-profit historical society).

Mostly. I'm an administrative assistant at a state park. Soon to be office manager when my superior above me retires in the next year or so! I push papers mostly, take calls, help customers, help prepare facilities for the day, accounting, etc.
I like it because it's busy work and I have a lot of wiggle room and freedom. I also get to solve lots of problems and make things run smoothly which is incredibly satisfying for me.
I don't like it because our state department won't give us any money so we're understaffed, the park is suffering disrepair, and employee morale is in the toilet. We're trying our hardest though. A lot of people complain that the park looks awful and we aren't doing anything to fix it and don't buy it when we explain we have no funds. So that's frustrating.
The pay sucks and it's only seasonal but that'll change when I get my promotion!!
