I'm an ESL teacher in Korea and yeah, I like my job. It's not the best job ever, but I barely feel like I've worked, on some days (not out of laziness or anything; but because the day was over so quickly).
The ONLY thing I'm kinda pissed off at right now is my boss won't be flexible on my hours (1pm to 10pm), and I really have been wanting to return to a boxing gym now that COVID restrictions are easing up but she still keeps f*cking me over with the schedule (I'm teaching the latest classes, so am the last one to leave at 10pm). She knows I've been wanting to get in better shape for a while now, but keeps dismissing it like "there's nothing I can do" but will let her Korean gal pals get whatever BS schedule they want.
I can't tell whether she's being honest and there's truly nothing that can be done about the schedule or she just is *choosing* not to put my break on the last hour so I can leave an hour early and go to the gym before closing time... But I hate the idea of having to choose my job or my fitness.
Besides this bullsh*t with the schedule, and the usual annoyances of teaching young brats, I like my job.

I'm an Audio/Video Integrator. I design and install TV/surround sound systems, multi-zone music systems, networking & WiFi, security camera systems, and "smart home" device integrations. Recently I even added "smart shades" to a couple of rooms.
I really enjoy my job as everything is custom, and I have to use my brain and solve lots of problems and keep track of tons of parts, but when it all comes together, my customers are really happy. The job also evolves rapidly, so the barrier to entry is fairly high, and I have a lot of loyal customers who refer me - about 80% of my business is referrals.
I work for my parents' businesses, doing stuff that doesn't really fit into a job description but stuff that is needed that none of their regular staff can do.
It is good in that I can mostly choose what I do and set my schedule and only answer to my parents. But it has family issues you get working with family.
I considered going to law school last year, which my mom wanted, but I didn't want anything to do with schools during COVID craziness. I may apply for next year. But I am not sure, I like creative work and my mom's job looks anything but creative.
Funeral home owner/operator. The businesses have been in the family for several generations. Had you asked me up to two years ago if I’d ever be in the business, I’d have told you not only no but hell no. But now that I’ve been at it for a year, I can’t see me doing anything else.

I like all of my professions. I have been doing graphics for 55 years, using my MBA for running both of our businesses and our household finances, and my current part-time profession is Massage Therapy. There have been individual "job positions" which I wasn't really wild about, but I like my professions.I am a security officer for a local security company. At times it sucks but there some perks like free food or see cool events for free like MMA fights or a comedy/concert show. The worst jobs are the ones where I just stand around at a store or something.
Currently I stack frozen food at an Albertsons branch. No I don't like my job bc whoever orders frozen food loves the freezer to be over stocked. I have no idea how old some of the food is in there. I told them to stop ordering food but they don't listen to the new hire. I'm going to find a new job asap and leave those dumb asses.
