Glad your new job is so perfect, Gumby!
My job uses bits and pieces of what i have my degrees in, but it pays reasonably and the nonmonetary benefits are astounding, so i'm happy

I love my job.
I get to help people who want our business and i do a damn good job at it. Bottom line is i like to help people and that's what keeps me going. Sometime's people will call in in a really bad mood or something and i LISTEN, say some positive words to them and by the end of it they'll say "hey thank you, really, you've been great." There's not much else that can top that IMO.

I like my job too. I work at a machine shop with my dad. I work second shift by myself though and sometimes it gets a bit lonely but I'm doing the work of two people so I'm literally working with no breaks from the time I come in to the time I leave. I like it that way though because time just flies when your busy and before I know it I'm going home. And the $25 an hour is pretty awesome too for not having any sort of degree.

I love my job. It's hard work and sometimes the hours are long but it's rewarding and challenging. I have a very big impact on the company and it also pays me well for my efforts. I've never had a better job.

Interesting. Do you have a personal investment in the company? I assume its a recent start up

I have equity in the company. It's almost 3 years old but we're really starting to pick up steam now.

I like it but sometimes I think it should be more meaningful.
I'm a photographer (architecture and interior).

That does sound quite enjoyable. What is your title? How is the pay? Mopping...even the word is great.

I do HVAC/R. I love it. I get to work all by myself and only mingle with one or two people at a time. I'm content with doing this for the next 20 years. I provide a service and meet some cool people along the way and build relationships within my community.
