Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Do you love your work?

Long hours, no vacation or paid holidays, no benefits but I’m banging the bosses wife. And she’s hot!

I work in a factory.


Good wages, better insurance than those around us.
Good vacation, sick days.

Pretty much my own boss, I get costumer orders laid on my toolbox do them
as I want. Just so it's quality work, on time if possible. Work my choice of hours,
shorten them if I want. Overtime if I ask.

The freedom is actually a burden. When it was shift work, I did 8 and left.
The next shift could get it. Now, I drive myself to meet the deadlines.

Pretty much have it made.

To answer the question?

No, I sure don't love it.
Don't even really like it.
I don't mind it most days.


I'm good at it, that's probably as close to loving it as I come.

Ironic, the jobs I have loved have been the ones that didn't pay well,
and were hard dirty work.

If you enjoy doing it, it is not work.

Wabigoon: Been retired 23 full years now and did enjoy my profession (law enforcement) greatly, before I pulled the pin.
But my enjoyment of that profession absolutely pales in comparison to my LOVE of retirement!
I simply run about all day with a smile on my face doing "fun", "outdoorsy" and "rewarding" things!
If I had known how wonderful retirement would be I would have retired 4 years sooner.

Was great the first 23 yrs. Great company with good people. Then the owner got sick and he had no family able to run it so he sold it to a much larger company. It won't terrible after the buyout, I got lucky and caught a great manager. He kept the corporate crap from rolling down hill as much as possible. I'm out of it now. House husband, shooting so I can reload etc. Life is good.

I like my poor paying job as much as I could like any job, which is why I stay there..... though I am getting kind of tired of the whole "work" thing...

I worked getting the fire going.......

Loved it.......

Does that count ?

I miss the Army.

But not the BS.

Never had a real job, my son runs the fishing business while I play on the farm.

Yes, I love what I do.

I don't love any work.
But I'm good at what I do, to I'm rewarded handsome and appreciated greatly.

I retired a couple of years ago and now get paid to do what I love.
It's literally right in my backyard.

Loved what I did while working and really loving retirement.

I’m a fortunate man and I know it.

Very nice, Salmonella !!

Some days it is a joy, and some days it is a royal pain in the Ass. Determind only by my inbox contents each day.

Loved doing what I did for 43 years and, for the most part, where and who I worked with. Gave it up and retired 3 years ago . . . like this gig better.

Worked thirty years as a biologist with Ky Fish and Wildlife. Fun in the early days but as I moved up the ladder had to deal increasingly with local, county and state politicians. Finally had an Agency Commissioner more interested in using his position to become Governor. (He didn’t make it 🙏) I was able to retire early and for the last nine years have been Bourbon tour guide which is still fun.

I have 2 jobs and love them both. 1 pays very well, the other pays peanuts. I am a night shift supervisor in a factory that make semi parts. Great company, great product, great guys. But its 3 .5 days a week, give or take. I was bored out of my head so I got a PT job at Walmart. That place is so much fun IF you have a sense of humor. I am completely emotionally detached because I dont need the money. I can see myself being in this position, working both places, for 20 years until I hit retirement age.

I did, retired now.

I was a Mechanical Contractor for 34 yrs. My company covered Maine [white], New Hampshire [white]

Vermont [white], I loved what I did, loved traveling all over New England. The last 11 yrs. before I

retired I was a Assoc. Prof. at Maine's largest Community College, one of the few Veterans and

Conservative instructors. My office looked out on Casco Bay in Portland, my wall were covered with pics.

of me with dead animals and guns. I loved it.

I worked to get where I could do what I wanted. It was sometimes tough, uncomfortable but every now and then it was exhilarating. That to me was the reward. Retirement is pretty cool though.
