How much do you enjoy your work? I must say I love my job very much. On one hand, I can use the konwledge studied in college. On the other hand, I just like it so much.It is my dream which I pursuit in school. I think people will be happy if she/he do something she really enjoys. Right now, I must study hard and improve my English, because my work will use English everyday. Nice to talk with you guys here in mylot. Hope one day, we could be true friend in daily life.

I enjoy my work very much also. I look forward to it every day. I am an educator and I get personal satisfaction from helping others every day. I believe people should seek a career they enjoy. A famous person said, "find a job you enjoy doing and you never have to work a day in your life."

Like any job, there are parts of my profession that I absolutely love and parts that I absolutely loathe. I am an artist and performer (a dancer first and foremost) and have chosen to go the indie route so that I can have complete control over my work. It has always been my dream job, even after hearing - and experiencing - some of what you have to go through to make it happen... a chronic lack of money being one of the early obstacles (hopefully I'll be out of that phase soon!)
Some of the administrative work is a real pain and bore as well, though some of it can be fun too. Either way, I find it easy to accept as a means to an end to see that my work gets taken care of the way I see fit rather than as some corporation wants it done and so at the end of the day, it's worth it.
Of course, my passion and dream has always been to reach the professional level in some sort of athletic pursuit and be a performer in that area, and so with dance I find that I am reaching that dream, plus I get to be musical and artistic as well with it which are also passions of mine. I have always wanted to create my own productions and perform them and that is what I am working towards.
I think getting started is the hardest part. Like I said, you never have any money when you first start out (unless of course you've got money from some other job or source), you don't have any guaranteed performance and promotional opportunities like you would if you were performing for a company, so you have to find them yourself. Also, you have to compete against a bunch of people who are obviously far less talented than you are and how they got so popular is a bit of a mystery... it's what the business is notorious for - the deserving never get what they deserve while the undeserving flourish.
With that in mind you surely have to enjoy the work more than the adulation, which is a hard adage to follow when you're trying to make it on so little and see other people who are no more skilled than you are who seemingly have so much.
So how much do I enjoy my job? It's something you have a love/hate relationship with I guess. Ultimately, though, when it comes down to it, I enjoy it a great deal and hope to make some real progress in the coming months so that I can continue to pursue my dream for the years to come.

i am a bassist in a band, and i love my work. of course in a band like any other work there are ups and downs. troubles and problems but i still enjoy what i do. we call it work when we are studying new songs, during practice or rehearsal that is the work, we have to make sure we master what we are studying. when we get on stage that is where the fun starts. we celebrate almost any occasion what ever the costumer is celebrating. it can be a birthday, anniversary or independence day. so i love my job.

I don't like my job much, honestly speaking. It is not easy to handle money of somebody. If you lose it, then you have to change it. I don't like this situation I'm in my work but I must learn to like it, considering the hard times of getting a permanent job. But if only I could choose, I would love a job related to writing or teaching. I always loved to search knowledge in the academe and hope that someday I could be a formal teacher.

I don't work but I go to school. Anyway I'd love to get hold of a job though, even if it's a part time. I;ve been looking for a part time job for the longest time but I've failed. Still the hunt is going on . Anywya it would be awesome to do a part time coz I can earn some extra cash for myself and I will have something as additional in my resume
And I hope you will be able to improve your english skills with the help of mylot. Good luck
