im a co-ordinator, bus driver, temp manager, cleaner, who does voluntary work with a shopmobility centre who loans wheelchairs and scooters. 
oh, i sometimes do voluntary gardening (weed pulling) and such like.

i dont make that much, but i dont go without anything.
hate the hours i have to do, love the fulfillment i get from helping people.
unfortunatly, i deal with a lot of very old and sick folk.
it breaks my heart when i watch them slowly getting worse and passing away. 

The work I do is voluntary, I work as a youth support worker which is a real fulfilling job which I love but is also frustrating to see so many young people f**k up their lives no matter how hard you try to help them.

I fully recommend doing voluntary work to everyone, there's none of the bitchy office politics and no little-hitlers giving you a hard time about being 1 minute late back from your lunch break. And like lilmiss I don't make much money but I have everything I want/need.

I thought getting a job and making money was cool, especially when I became a debt free individual who no longer lived paycheck to paycheck.

Three years later, the whole job/career thing has become tiresome. I am told retirement is not an option for a few more decades yet, sigh.

As far as jobs go, mine is nice as I do not clock in or out, I have no supervisor. I call my own shots. It is just not as fun as being a rock star, you know.

I am the owner of a small construction company, and part owner-vendor of a small jewellery (diamond) outfit. I work hard most of the time..hahah...Like Hobbes say's retirement is only a couple of decades away

I also have training in cnc mill and lathe, and autocad and cadkey.(something to fall back on if necessary). My next goal is a pilot's licence,(personal aircraft) or win the lottery.

This work thing is highly over-rated..but I enjoy my job..sometimes

Yah, sometimes, Lol!

I am never unhappy at work, I would just love to go to sleep anxious about what I can achieve the next day. The lucky people are those that entwine their passion with an economically rewarding career.
