Another job thread.

[taeric]

Except I want this one to not be my typical job thread where I bitch about how many hours I am working and whatnot.

Instead, I want to hear from the people out there that actually like what they do. More importantly, what is it that drew you into the field you chose? How many people like their field, but not their current company? (Or the other way.)

I like my job. I work with people that have a clue and I learn new stuff all the time.

Originally wanted to be a Chemist but when I got to school, computers really peaked my interest, it didn't help that my dad did stuff with computers all the time. Then I buit my first computer and it was all she wrote.

I love my job and I'm one of the few people who don't hate my users while fixing their computers.

I did thought about what I could do for work that wouldn't SEEM like work and ended up at computers

My job is great. Really laid back. I get to work on computers and with people. And most importantly, no one watches over me like a hawk. The way it should be.
