Somewhat. I’m a teacher, so my work-life balance is excellent. I do enjoy my job, but I’ve learned over the years that as an introvert, hanging out with teenagers all day long is draining.

There’s very little challenge in teaching grade school. I do wish I had something to feel ambitious about. But teaching gives me a lot of time to find that fulfillment in other endeavors.

I really enjoy my job. It has its shitty moments like everything but they’re few and far between.

I like the people I work with and am happy with my paychecks. So it could be worse.

You don't consider herding cats challenging?

I enjoy my field that I chose but I'd retire tomorrow if I was able to. Anything gets old after enough time and I've been doing this for 22-23 years now.

No. The struggle is real each morning…that’s why it’s called work.

I like my career. I enjoy the field I work in.

I’m not particularly challenged at the moment. Other than that,

Compensation is good
People are chill
Boss man is not a micro manager
Flexible schedule and PTO is the tits

So I tolerate it.

Different place pretty much every day. Get to go into places in buildings most people can't. Travel all over the state and East Texas. Get paid per diem and hotel is covered.

Been doing it for 21 years so I guess I like it.

Yeah. I go ride around a golf course all day and yell at Haitian employees to do better/not frick up. Could be worse.

Eh. Hours are long as hell, but the pay is good, and I don’t deal with the general public. It’s fine.

Yes, I enjoy it. Never the same thing two days in a row and I never have to step foot in an office. The pay helps with the happiness part.

They pay me because I would not do it for free.

It’s a good job, but it is a job.

I’m looking forward to retiring.

I’m trying to be more positive toward the idea of work.

It’s ok except sometimes some of the people can be annoying.

It’s a job. My pay and benefits are top level for this area so I just make the best of it. When my youngest gets through college I will probably look into moving and doing something I like
