| How much do you like your job? Do you love it, hate it, somewhere in between? What do you do now? What would you do for a job if money/training/education were not part of the equation but you still had to work? |

Eight on a scale from 1 to 10. Accounting. I would want to be the Director of Admissions for an MBA program in the top 20. Talking to potential students about life plans and helping them realize their goals would be assume. |

Love it. I'm the finance officer for a small NGO that has never had someone in my position before, so I'm able to pretty much define the job. I get respect from my higher ups. Both of them.  I get a good amount of leeway to do my work, but I'm not operating in a vacuum; I'm welcome to bring in a pro bono professional (our board is great for this) whenever I get stuck.
I make peanuts. But that's ok, because I came from a large and totally ossified organization where I was nothing more than a data entry clerk. I made more money there, but I was miserable and could feel myself getting stupider by the day. |

| 5 on a scale of 1-10. I am a lawyer. My job would be a really, really good job for someone with more tolerance for dealing with unreasonable people and conflict that I have. My bosses are nice, and the hours are not bad for the money that I make. |

If money were no object I would still work as a lawyer either (1) helping veterans pursue VA claims or (2) helping military member and their families with legal issues. |

| I alternately love it and hate it. I never have neutral feelings. I can't imagine not doing what I do, or being in this field, it's what I was meant to do, but at the same time there are specifics about my organization that drive me to tears. |

Scale of 1 to 10: 0
I'm an Exec Asst; I was not cut out to "assist" anyone in this sort of capacity and I find them work not worthy of my intelligence and capabilities Would love to do something involving event planning/development, preferably with an org with an interest in human rights and/or poverty. Dream job is working for an organization focused on teen mothers. If I ever win the lottery, I'm going to start an org. |

| Hate it. Dread going to work in the morning but I need the paycheck. Been looking for a while and found that I should have jumped a year ago to a different fed contractor. Things are very tight right now, so I will suck it up and go to work tomorrow (yeah, we lost another holiday). |

9.
Good pay, huge flex, unlimited vacation. I own P&L for a business line, so I do a little finance, a little marketing, a little strategy, a little ops, a little of everything. Good people, nice culture, great 401k. Why not a 10? If I could add in a little international experience and/or throw on a part-time teaching gig at some MBA program (prestigious or not), I'd be done. That and I always want more money no matter how much i make so I guess it would never be a 10... But close |
