Default Who loves their job?

I've been at odds with my job for a while. Im to the point now where I cant stand going in in the mornings. It is starting to show too. At the same time, I have a friend whose wife LOVES her job and cant imagine wanting to do anything else. Big separation I know...

Anyway, I want to know who genuinely loves their job. If you dont, what would you rather be doing ( and no, sitting on your ass and screwing off all day is not a job im talking about)

Im a mechanic on european cars for around 10 years now. Hate my job. Hate cars really. I have NO idea what I would rather do.

I love my job. I think I'd be just as happy in the business world, because I have a lot of interest in business. Regardless, I never feel bad about working, and right now while I'm young I work a lot so I can save up more money for the future when I might not want to work as much.

I'm getting sick of my job. Project management and system design is becoming a bore with no real challanges. But the paycheck keeps me happy.

You're working on the wrong projects, IMHO. Step up, step over, or step down.

I love the fact that I'm more-or-less emotionally detached from my job. I spend more time putting hard work into my hobby/craft, and that's
