Job vs Job

so, I now work for a tire manufacturer. Has anyone else? It's a dirty, hot factory, and contrary to what most people probably beleive, we don't just pour melted rubber into a mold. the tires are actually made in small components and then built a little at a time. After the tire is built, it is then put into a press/mold (which is also what gives your tires the "hair") and "cooked" at about 350 degrees farenheit. It is now my job to troubleshoot and repair electrical issues with the machines. before that I worked at a doctor's office. I can't really describe what I did there without boring people. Basically I'd just say I watched people sleep. There is a world of diffirence between the two jobs, and I can say that both jobs had their pros and cons. I enjoyed helping people at the doctor's office, but the pay was horrible. I sometimes hate the people at the factory who are ungrateful that I fixed their machine, or the people who will intentionally cause problems with their machine and then are rude and refuse to help... but the pay is much better. anyhow, I was wondering if anyone else had similar experiences with their jobs. where switching jobs was something like switching lives with someone. It's kind of funny to think this, but shortly after taking this job it almost felt as though I were becoming someone else. Actually, now that I think of the person I was before, and the person I am now, I wonder if all the change has been because of age, or if a lot of it has to do with the job? eh, either way.
