If you LOVE your job...

What company do you work for? I was in cellulosic ethanol development for DuPont for a while, I loved working in biofuels. Keep up the good work, our futures may depend on what you are working on!

I work for a company called LS9. I focus on scaling up the fermentation process to larger and larger scales. We were thinking of doing an inaugural beer fermentation on that bigger tank when we first got it. Then we realized it came from an old pharmaceutical company who used it to make unknown drugs. No thanks.

Sorry, I hate my job. Pay is good. Bennies are good. Hours suck. Fellow employees suck (mostly). Although it's nice to see that there are some that like/love what they do. It gives me something to aspire to.

I hate my job, pay isn't good, bennies suck, and it's should be almost 50% commission driven for me to make a fair salary considering my basepay but the traffic isn't enough. That said everyone but my boss is a good person and we have a lot of good times when the man is away.

One of your jobs looks better than the other.

I shouldn't even be posting here cause I can't stand my job.

 

[E-Mursed]

I work as a Registered Nurse on the midnight shift of a medical surgical unit. I love my patients, and most of my co-workers.

Going to school to finish my undergraduate degree now with a deep desire to get my NP degree afterwards.

Go Blue!!!!

That's cool, even if you don't have or can't takes pics of the job you love, please feel free to chime in!

I love being a field linguist, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Half the year, my office is the picture below. (The other half, it's a dusty library, but at least the beer's better!)

WTF you have Rocky Mountain Oysters

I'm a CNC Machinist. I love my job. Being able to create damn near anything from just a solid hunk of steel is damn satisfying. Plus, in the spare time... oh, I need a special bracket for my Mustang? MACHINED! Oh, you'd like some super fancy engraved plates to print your wedding invitation? MACHINED!

And anyone who hasn't seen a 5-axis machine doing it's duty is missing out:

Very cool video. I am also a CNC machinist, and love what I do. These are some of the things I work on.

 

[beaksnbeer]

Is that a bar feed?

Is that a bar feed?

Yes, that little 5 axis lathe is running stock from a 4 foot pneumatic bar feeder.

 

[T_Baggins]

I do indeed.

 

[Varmintman]

I am a hack machinist at best. I play with my mill and lathe a bit but skill and my photo will never be linked.

On the bright side I have enjoyed the machine porn pictures

 

[No1ukno]

Commercial insulator here. I take great pride in the work I do. I do hate getting all itchy though.

 

[LBussy]

During the day I work on software which supports the Home Health and Hospice side of healthcare. As an IT person I feel lucky to be in healthcare IT, as person who lost his father a couple years back being able to help those who help people in hospice care really speaks to me.

As a side gig, I do pyro:

Pays just enough to pay the help and buy dinner, but come on, I get to blow things up! I also do hobby pyro which means I make my own shells, rockets, etc.:

I think we need a HUGE like button for the pyro bit.

When my mom died we used hospice and I have to tell you the nurse was a saint. Better people can not be found in my book

From reading your posts, I couldn't imagine you doing anything less cool than that, and I don't even really know what it is. Would you care to elaborate?

 

[RedHeadedStranger]

Not really a job I guess, but I've been WOOFing( World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms) for a month or so now, and it's been one of the best things I've ever done. Working outside with crops and animals all day, getting dirty, I couldn't be happier.

 

[TheJasonT]

I program intelligent lighting for corporate events and other client rentals. It's a pretty schweet job!

Back in the day, most linguists went off and gathered their own research data. Since the 60s, though, most just analyze documented grammars or language databases. As a field linguist, I'm the guy who goes out and puts those things together. Basically, I show up in a village somewhere, follow people around with a tape recorder, and hope I don't make a nuisance of myself.

I love the work itself, though I suspect most would find it dry and technical. But, since I work mostly on endangered languages, I get to spend a lot of time traveling way off the beaten track. It's great fun!

 

[Cbaddad]

I teach 5th grade and love it most days.

That sounds like an amazing job! I'm terribly ignorant of languages(and most things really), but I find other languages and just language itself fascinating. It's something I would love to learn more about, and have spent quite a bit of time pondering.

Shoot things. Usually when they shoot back.

Those are some nice looking parts. They also look like they must be a PITA to check! Does your shop have a specific product you make parts for?

Our shop is a job shop so we're always changing set-ups and making brand new parts. That's one of the reasons I like my job; if it was just production all the time I would go crazy. Now I'm hands on with the part from blueprint to Mastercam to set-up to finished product. It's fun some days, hair-pulling most, but always satisfying at the end of the day.
