I like what I do... and more often than not, the people I work with.  This is what I went to school to do so it's cool that I'm still in this field.  I've got the boss from Hell though and that shtein takes a toll.

Combat Engineer United States Army, this was something I've always wanted to do.  As of right now (6 months in) I really enjoy what I am doing.  Right now it is kind of jacked up because I am in a brand new unit we don't even have a motorpool or weapons yet.  So my day is extremely easy and I can't complain.  I won't get deployed for probably over a year and a half from now.  The benefits are awesome I got $20000 to sign up I am an E-4 and my student loans will be repaid.  I also am going to sign up for free lasic surgery and work on my MBA also at no expense.  If it wasn't for the fact that I have one of the most dangerous jobs in the Army this would be the perfect job for me.  Personally I can't think of anything better than getting to detonate explosives, drink lots of beer, and see the world.

I work for the IRS. I can't complain, they won't let me. However, I haven't worked a full week all year and I don't feel bad about that one bit.

Account manager for Aramark, love what I do, don't love the people I work with.

I know thats a huge company, but they control all the food stuff here at my school.  It sucks horribly.  Its like $16 a meal for bad cheeseburgers and salads.


But anyway.  I sued to work for this small construction company.  Three office employees.  My office was in the basement, no windows, damp and dark.  I would rarely see anyone, could not get radio reception, and no internet.  My boss had ADD, ADHD, a lazy eye and a humped back.  He would scream and curse at me, and everyone else in the world.  Worst job ever, thank god im not there anymore.

You should join the Army! :D Seriously though the one thing that I forgot to mention about the military is that in this profession you will find that 89% are just complete retards.  I have never met more IGYs,  I mean idiots in my life.

I know exactly what you mean.  Sad, but true. 

I've done a lot of different "jobs" since I've been in the Marines.  I've been a grunt, been in security forces/anti-terrorism, worked in operations and training, logistics, contracting, transportation management and now recruiting.  I've even held a few collateral duties such as substance abuse counselor (don't know why they call it that.....I never counselled anyone, I simply organized piss tests), been an ammo tech, range coach and CQB (Close Quarters Battle instructor).  Each job had it's pros and cons but overall I've had a lot of great experiences and have learned a lot of different things and for the most part, worked with a lot of great people.

I'm not even on AWS, I'm just using up my time since I won't be back after this season.

I am a government contractor. I work in computer forensics. It is not nearly like what people think, like CSI or something like it. I normally only do my job when some tard does something on a computer he shouldn't have, and then says it wasn't him, or it never happened. Occasionally I get my hands on something interesting, but it is rare. When the Forensics work slacks off, I kill time by doubling as a system admin.

I only hate my job mildly at times. I work with a bunch of pretty cool guys. All former military, so there is nothing "PC" about my work environment. We play poker on the weekends, head to happy hours, and play Halo 2 online on the weekends. Could get more money in D.C, but the commute would suck donkey balls.
