What motivates you?

[Ralph]

Other than money, what motivates you to stick with the job you are doing now? Do you love it, or does the job fit in with your educational background?

Honestly I don't love it and I can't say that it fits me perfectly either. I do it because it's good money and the economy is too tough to change jobs right now. I don't hate it either though, so that is good.

A job has to be a good use of my time and abilities. If it's not, then I can't fool myself, and I start to get a bad attitude. For me, job satisfaction is really important, considering how much time is spent on a job.

My job is just fine. I cannot say that it is the job I always dream of, but it's an good job and pays well also. I can't get better than that.

It sounds like it is worth it to stick with the job though you don't really love it. I cannot say that I "do what I love to do and get paid for that", but my job is pretty good.

My current job is something I love doing. I've never before found something that I really do enjoy, so I want to stick with it. I don't worry about the education part as much (I was lucky).

I cannot say that I love my job but I am used to it and I do my job well. It's not about what you do, it's about how you do it.
