I do, especially now that I am working from home and can control my own schedule. But it can be really draining sometimes. More than 6 hours later and my brain is still buzzing from all the autocad files I looked at today 
Do you love your job?
-
yes.
because it doesn't exist yet.
-
I don't mind it, but I also don't love it.
-
Yes. I feel sorry for people who don't like theirs. Makes life super hard. If I had advice to impart to most kids going off to uni it's to pick something you're passionate about.

That's always been my problem. I've never had hobbies or anything i'm passionate about (except hot males haha)
That's why i find my job boring. I don't enjoy anything in life. I'm 24 now and just working to pay bills.
-
Yes I do.
I just lost myself today into over 10 hours of coding (my daily is 8 hours) just because I loved the whole coding part of it.
I am supposed to write a script to import GoCardless payments into our system and the whole API dynamic between it made me smile the whole way through.
It was like I was pulling info from them, feeding it into my system, then updating back to their system.
I love that shit.

Working a job that you hate must be torture but I can imagine that many don't have a choice and the luxury to be picky.

Yea, makes sense. My sis hates her job but she makes BANK. It works for her - she makes enough now to get people to do the shit she doesn't like and she can just be the big boss. So for all of you who hate your job, there is hope!

I love working on autocad too, it's almost like playing games for me. But I tend to go overboard sometimes. Like today I had lunch at 4pm, which is 3 hours past my usual eating schedule, because I couldn't extract myself from work and now I feel like shit
Besides, being too passionate, diligent (and fast in my case) will make people take advantage of you and expect too much from you.

Love hate relationship. The environment and people are amazing, we atleast share a lot of common interest. However regarding the work itself, I have a great deal of anxiety over it and don’t think I’m cut out for it. My OCD is way too horrible for it lol.

Yes kinda. It's not my dream job but at least I don't feel like dying when I wake up for work

I love autocad, I used to design a ton of cool shit on it during college.
And yeah, the fast part I get.
But my company doesn't care about what hours I take.
They just love me and allow me to be me.
No matter the hours, and I get paid for those hours.

I loved it more when it was a small company and all about science
Now that it is sold to a bigger company, too much bureaucracy

something im passionate about also has to be profitable, unfortunately.
im realizing that as im going through potential college applying and still figuring out what i want to do when im done with school

Yea I see how that can be a conundrum too. I guess I'm fortunate that I love development + design and the two go together so well.

Mine is an office so my boss is more hands on. Besides he loves biting more than the whole team can bite, right now I literally have 6 projects I'm working on simular, all residential complexes and soon I'm going also to start on a university students dorm with 700 rooms
.To be fair, ever since I started working from home I started having more free time since I'm not bound with regular office hours anymore and my boss doesn't care about how I organise my work time as long as the job gets done and the deadlines are met. But sometimes I end up working through the weekend and till late at night, which is something that wouldn't happen if I was still working in the office lol. So I guess it is a double edged knife.
