Re: Do you love your job?
I can't imagine anything worse than paediatrics - not so much the kids (who I think I'd actually enjoy, but the parents). I'm looking forward to geris, though.

Re: Do you love your job?
I used to work at my local primary school as an admin assistant and I loved it. Currently unemployed, I did get a full time job but it wasn't for me, far too Corporate. Now on the lookout for a position either in education or healthcare which is what I did before I moved to Australia. Lot of competition for part time roles though so I haven't been successful in securing an interview as yet.

Re: Do you love your job?
I have worked with my husband for the last six years. It suits us very well and with experience have managed to seperate the work from home balance.
I do enjoy my job but sometimes wish I was a little more customer service based, I'm a people person. I can walk to work, take my dog, pop out to help at school and generally my own boss, what more could I ask for!

Re: Do you love your job?
I'd love to do palliative care. I'm a real advocate of hospice care - particularly the model of care my father received. I think that dying a good death is as important as living a good life.
There's a paediatric palliative care grad program I'm looking at for when I finish uni. I know I said I didn't want to do paeds, but the program I'm looking at is straight nights, and it's palliative, so IMO less likely to be frantic parents. By the time people get to be inpatient palliative they and the family have accepted that it's near the end. No freaking out/frantic parents screaming for someone to do something to make their child all better. It's hard to explain, but I think a year of paediatric palliative care would be a wonderful experience for me. And no, I don't think it would be depressing at all. I think it would be really rewarding.

Today is my first day of unemployment. The best occupation I've had for a while.

Re: Do you love your job?
I'm pretty ambivalent about my job. Its decent enough money, no stress, OK people, I can fart about on the internet most of the day and I get plenty of freebies so its fine for me. Work to live.

Re: Do you love your job?
Loved my old job great variety of people, locations and jobs 
Looking forward to the new job but not the daily commute
Much easier to roll out of bed and be in ofice within 10 mins fully showered and shaved
Will technically be unemployed for 2 weeks but thankful it won't be longer
