<p>It’s unfortunate that your opinion is shared by more than a few. I happen to love my job–so much that I did it for a while with no pay and may end up doing so again if and when grant funding expires. H also loves his job for the most part–there are of course parts he doesn’t like so much but he has refused to apply for promotions that would have him do things he didn’t really want to do. He and I feel sorry for folks who hate their jobs and feel very fortunate that we both have jobs and professions we enjoy and feel are contributing to a better world (seriously).</p>
<p>We know people earning a lot and some earning a little who hate their jobs. My dad loves his job so much that he’s still working, after over 50 years in his profession. Not sure if he draws much, if any, salary. He’s happy and would rather be there than having even more days on the golf course. Had a brother who hated his job & finally quit & found another. For a while, it was tough on him because the new job paid MUCH less but he’s been promoted & given more responsibility & seems to mostly like his job now.</p>
<p>Many of the docs I see do seem to love most of their job (except having to fight with insurers & HR duties). I know attorneys who love their jobs & some not so much. There is so much variability.</p>
