You know how when your friends tell you about their relationships or marriages, they only tend to really let it out when bad stuff is happening? As a result, it can seem like nothing is good or nothing is going right at home, because no one thinks to gush when things are going well.
Similar things happen with our work and our jobs, I think – we need to vent when the chips are down, but we don’t really think to tell people what we love, why we chose that profession in the first place, or how much fulfillment it gives us most of the time.
Here’s your chance to really listen to the positives, though, as 14 people share the things they love most about going to work.
