Ok bit of a job theme in here today with most popular profession and guess my job threads.

So how much influence has your job had on you as a person? Has it changed you ? Has it been the making of you or made you into misery incarnate?

My job isn't exactly typical 9 to 5 nor is it that easy to always switch off from. I love it though and while it doesn't define me it certainly influences me.

There are less than a 1000 people in this country that do what I do and I'm privileged to be one of them

That's pretty neat. So many people seem to complain about work. It's a major part of our lives for many. Good on you.

My old job working as an admin on a ward for older people with mental health problems given me a much better understanding of dementia and other mental health issues.

Was that sad? It's quite sobering to realise your own mortality

No just a much better understanding of mental health issues and they ain't all loons as was my perception and frightened me when I was younger

I'm loving my current job because I'm learning so much from my boss, fantastic mentor and overall just an ease to work under.

The work I'm doing has direct impact on kids and families who need it too, so no complaints about the extra hours or pressures. We are who we are, or we're where we want to be, as a saying goes (only heard it the other day - infers that most people are happy just going along, as it were).

I hate to hear people moaning about their jobs on an ongoing basis, just change the situation (cue people saying it's not that easy, which I do appreciate)

Only been doing my job for a couple of years, it doesn't make me popular with the workforce but everyday I see something I haven't seen before.

25 years in the military you become institutionalised, you might not think you are but 3 years after getting out I still think in a military way, and I like to think I am one of the most chilled guys going so god help us.

What is the career week lol
