It’s really hard to find a job that you enjoy.
And it’s really, really hard to find a job that you LOVE.
But these folks on AskReddit sure lucked out, because they all have jobs that they enjoy quite a bit!
Let’s see what these folks do…
1. Lucky.
“I teach instrumental music in public school. A lot of teachers are constantly under stress and h**e their lives, but I got super lucky.
My co-teachers are friends whom I respect and trust, and all three of us have strong and consistent classroom management. And we get to create young musicians.”
2. Sounds good to me.
“I’m a night janitor at a gas station and mini market.
No customers, no other co-workers for the first 6 hours, I have set tasks to do, I can have as many breaks as I wish, listen to my own music at full blast and for £90 per 8 hour shift.
Its the best job I’ve ever had and I’ve had jobs most people wouldn’t touch with a barge pole.”
3. Cool!
“Public Librarian.
I get to buy books that my community wants. I take care of the book collection.
I help people find information, including online information. And I get to spend the day at the library.”
4. Working double.
“Plumber and artist.
The only time the two cross paths are in my plumbing company’s social media, which I run!
I bloody love my jobs!”
5. Very happy.
“Software engineer. I didn’t go to college and went to a 6 month bootcamp for it to change my career.
I went from originally making 40k at my old job and I now make six figures within 2 years of being in the field.
I work remotely and it has completely changed my life. I am in a job that is very respectful of their employees and time. I’m very happy.”
6. Life is good.
“Research!
I get to be creative and I genuinely like the people I work with.
I do have to publish and get funding, but now that I’ve figured out how to do that, life is good.”
7. Works for you.
“Accountant.
I know it’s the epitome of a boring office job, but it works for my aptitudes and interests.
Lucrative, stable, predictable, engaging but I don’t take it home with me.”
8. Amazing.
“I’m a filmmaker, editor and producer primarily.
I have near total control of my schedule and get to make fun and interesting media every week.
I love it.”
9. Freedom!
“I work at a museum designing exhibits, developing educational programming, doing research on artefacts and ongoing exhibit maintenance.
The job is constantly changing and I have unlimited freedom.”
10. Your own bubble.
“Printing machine operator for small to medium runs.
I can listen to music and generally be in my own bubble while I can choose my own work load, it pays decently and I like to see a physical representation of how much work i have done, it makes me feel like I have done something.”
11. Leave it all at work.
“I’m a high school custodian, and I ADORE my job. Love my kids, my adults, the skills I get to build there, the autonomy I get to do my tasks, that I can see the direct results of my efforts, that I get to help.
The fact that I basically can’t take my work home with me, that overtime is abundant if I want it, and the fact that I have a union job with a living wage, great benefits, and a retirement plan.
It’s not what I went to school for and I never planned to work in this field, but I have been doing it 7 years and there’s absolutely nowhere else I would rather be or anything I would rather do.”
12. Animal lover.
“Used to work in pet retail stores.
Loved it because I know a lot about animals and was able to share it with others. I was often asked to design enclosures for unique feature pets, most fish questions got directed to me by one of my managers, for a while I tended to the animals in the morning and was always complemented on how good the animal and enclosure looked.
Tarantulas were my favorite because people were always amazed at how well I could handle then. I’m now a dog bather and still really enjoy it.”
13. A unique one.
“Crime scene technician/investigator.
It can be grueling and there are really long days but it’s never the same day twice.”
