Director of Marketing & Retail at a manufacturing company. Every day is different, which I love. 

Hi!

5 - Feel indifferent

Like GBC, I’m indifferent to it.  It’s a job to get a check. Has its ups/downs. I work in manufacturing (shop rat) and punch in at a time clock. Im hoping someday to maybe switch “careers” and be a greeter at Wal-Mart.

I might be closer to a 3 now that I think about it. If you'd have asked me a year or so ago, I probably would have said 9 or 10. My how things change in a year...

I'm constantly looking at jobs similar to mine. When I find the right one, I'm out.

5 - Feel indifferent

Consumables Inventory Planner for a medical company. 

There have been plenty of times when I’ve loved it, and it can be a rewarding role. But there have also been enough times when I’ve wanted to kick the door down and get the hell out of there. These days I’m mostly indifferent to it.
I used to work long hours dealing with vendors in the US, Europe, and China but it was taking a toll, especially during the lockdown years. It took me long enough to realise that my health was more important. Working from home has its bonuses but now I make sure to switch off on time and relax.

10 - Really love my Job

Left an ownership position working with people I loved, as VP of an IT company dealing with Retail, just over a year ago to go to a job I was excited about and an industry I'm more excited about.  Life is good.
VP of an engineering co.  Working with bio/pharma and chemical/industrial fortune 500s.

CPA....I hate that I have to work but I'm not sure what else I would do. If I didn't work for myself I would have selected "1"

10 - Really love my Job

I got a new job a few months ago as an industrial boiler inspector, Power Plants, Paper Mills, etc.  I'm loving it.  3 months on 3 months off and making much more money than I was at 40 hrs a week 52 weeks a year. Plus I have a great boss, get to travel all over the world and sometimes work with cool people.

If you asked me 7 months ago I would have answered 1 hating life

I supervise a group of electronics techs at a correctional facility. It can be a tough place to work, but the people in my department usually make it enjoyable.

Traveling on and off was always fun until it was all travel and no off, lol.  Getting paid to see the world is why I did it for so long.

PM for a Miscellaneous Metals Company.  I have a lot of freedom where I work which makes up for the lack of bonuses.  Pay is the only reason why my current job doesn't rank higher.
