For anyone who loves what they do, consider yourself BLESSED! IMO, not many people do (including me)

Seriously...I'm an attorney and everytime I think of all the money I spent on school for this torture, I want to hurl myself in front of a bus! J/K

omg i totally agree with you!

I am so sad to even write this, but I HATE my job. Before anything let me just say I didn't always feel this way, but it's SO hard to love what you do when you are surrounded with people that are a) phony b)petty c)childish. I work for Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (which can be depressing), and unfortunately have to deal with International patients who get treated with VIP status, and therefore act that way as well. I completely understand why they feel their case is more urgent than another, but what I don't understand is the lashing out and abuse I receive from them verbally and mentally. My father died of Cancer and working here helped me to cope, but I can't ever remember him being this way to any of the people he dealt with. I guess having worked here for 10 years has taken it's toll. I also have to deal with co-workers that are just ridiculous individuals!! As much as I hate to say it, I have become numb to this disease, because I see how much of a business it is..and it saddens me. I hope to leave there..and move on to something else eventually. If it's within the hospital, I prefer no patient contact at all. Sorry if I sound mean..I don't mean to.

I LOVE my job! I am a teacher, and I think the kids are amazing!!! I love the good days, the bad days, the easy days, and the tough days! Everyday I am there I know I made a difference in one (hopefully more) of my kids lives; whether it is education, counseling, or just being there for them when they need me.

SAME HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, lots of teachers. Add me to that list (1st grade)! I love my job, and get butterflies in my stomach about a week before the first day of school. I get really excited about starting the new year, then by about April, I'm itching for the summer to get here. :)
But, by August, I'm already looking forward to getting back to work and seeing the li'l ones :).
