This is a poll for people who are employed full time in an occupation. This doesnt count part time Jobs for people working their way through school or just earning spending cash during the summer....

I obviously enjoy my job, since I've been in it for over 14 years *LOL*.......plus the retirement is worth staying in!

I'm enjoying my job, mostly because i work with my bro all day and most of the time brothers just beat eachother up. Not us, we're like best mates and that's cool. Why are you interrested in this ?

I am very fortunate. I work with Rudy and we have our own business. The best part about it is what we do makes a difference in people's lives. We give people hope and give them something to work for. Financial Analysts may not be for everyone... but seeing the relief when we are helping makes a difference when I look in the mirror.

Like my post above said, I was recently exposed to many people who do not like their jobs and found that odd.
Thought maybe I was out of touch with the masses so I thought I would ask [img]smile.gif[/img]

*LMAO*, go to the RP threads, I dance in ORT all the time......

and yes, I'm in the military.... I was activated in Sept of last year, after the WTC bombings........ and I am scheduled to go overseas in October for 45 -180 days..... My fiance and I were going to get married in December, but now we are going to move it up to the second or third week of October, depending when I have to leave....

But the money is good, I enjoy where and who I work with........

Hi--I'm totally new here. I wasn't ready to jump in yet, but this question touched a nerve in me today. I'm a single mother of a 5-year-old daughter, and I dance to support us. I catch a lot of flack for this from my family. Yes, I'm happy with the job, but your poll didn't ask if we would willingly change jobs if we found something that paid as much. I would!

Hihi Lian, no flack to catch from me. We do what it takes, especially if it means putting food ont he table and taking care of our children. Personally I find nothing offensive about Dancing, Dancers...of any sort (exotic or otherwise). And Welcome to IW too [img]smile.gif[/img] We are generaly a nice bunch here ..altho we do get spirited in our discussions [img]smile.gif[/img]
