Do you get personal satisfaction from your work?

[VooDoo Lady]

Do you feel like your work is meaningful....do you get personal satisfaction from performing it? Or is it just a way to earn money?

I'm in HR and there are days that I get tremendous personal satisfaction from it, and there are a lot of days that I am counting the minutes until 5:00...

A job is just a means to and end IMO. I've never gotten any real personal satisfaction from any job except for the one that starts with blow.

Nope, my job is just a paycheck.


That's why I am looking to go back to school. Thinking about becoming a teacher, like a good friend suggested.

Whatever I do, it will involve working with children. The money isn't important. I may need it, but it is not the only thing.

When I get around to finishing school I hope to end up with a career that challenges my mind and makes me feel fulfilled. Right now I'm getting by but am not particularly keen on what I'm doing. I will not allow myself to settle for this. I just need to figure out exactly what I want to do.

Have you ever thought of becoming a Catholic Priest? Just kidding.

Actually I have thought about it and I would love to be a teacher. I really like children and would love to have an impact on there lives. I would have to get a Masters first though, I would have to make at least decent money to fund my steroid addiction.

The job I have now blows, I spend half my time on here and no one seems to care.

Nope, I can't.


Not Catholic, and I love women way too much to give them up.

I love my job....but then again I love to work.

I think any job, whether it is a Ditch digger or a Corporate lawyer can just be a paycheck.... It all depends on how much of yourself you are willing to put into it...
