I like cats, but I couldn't eat a whole one.
What about you, OP?

I love what I do, but there are some seriously annoying things going on within the actual organisation and the pay is crap.

brazen boldness
LOVE - it is interesting, challenging, rewarding, ever-changing, fun - my 'clients' are at the threshold of the rest of their lives - I love being a part of that - it has great holiday provisions - I worked hard at my career early, so now have some flexiblity in my days to cope with school needs for my DD in a few years

Now that is easy to answer. Love it. Why? That is harder. I have found of the 25+ years I have never been bored. I find new challenges for me all the time. After that of course, I have travelled so much with it, it has paid me nicely, and oh, I met DH This post has been edited by JRA: 06/01/2013, 07:45 PM

Cobwebs are the new black!
Love it. I have 2 (though 1 I am only just starting) and they both stem from my interests in different ways. Fitness Instructing is physical and social and keeps me fit at the same time. My new Japanese fashion and accessory business which I am in the process of seting up is exciting and centres around stuff I love about Japan.

Love mine. Its really quite varied and I've been able to move around a bit if i get bored. I've also been able to find fantastic female mentors!

I used to love it but now am bored and cynical. I work in hr and I just hear the same old, same d complaints day in, day out from staff, that I generally think are without merit. They all think they're underpaid (despite our expensive and time consuming research), they work too hard, not treated w the importance they deserve, get 'feedback' theyre beong bullied blah blah blah!!!! And the higher bracket are the worst!!! It gets really demoralizing! Eta it doesn't annoy me when it's genuine obviously, only when it is ego driven not factually based.
