What do we all do for a living? Do we like our jobs?
I'm an Estate Agent...... Everyone........ Boooooooooooooooooo!
I love it though, I think Estate Agents are all stereotyped as being these people who show you round houses and tell you obvious and pointless things like
"This is the kitchen" "This is the bathroom"
And that they are basically con artists.
Rubbish!
I do very few viewings and spend most of my time at my computer making sure that peoples sale and purchases are dealt with with the least amount of hassle. Sorting out queries, speaking to solicitors and financial advisors, going through survey report, negotiating offers (always with the vendors best interest at heart I might add!) And I don't get a redicioulous amount of commission either. I'm quite pround of my job.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I'm a P.A. too. I work as Personal Assistant to the 2 Heads of HR for Centrica. I don't actually like what I do for a living as I can do my job with my eyes shut!, but I do like my job here because I get a lot of freedom and handle quite a few bulky projects. Diary management is extensive here but I literally control my boss's lives so that side of things is pretty easy.
I'm a Young People's Development Worker (posh term for a Youth Worker). I work with young people like in the controversial pink topic box this week!
Used to be my dream job & worked really hard to get it but now I'm a bit fed up as I don't know if I'm making any difference at all to young people's lives.
(Feeling a bit negative today.....would probably give a totally different, more positive, answer next week)!

I'm a secretary/PA too. My job is boring most of the time. I want to expand my Ebay business and not have to work in a industry I have no interest it (science-based yawn). To work for myself would be much more interesting and fulfilling.
I'm teaching myself HTML so I am getting to where I want to be.
I used to work for an estate agent and he was a complete @r$e. I wouldn't stereotype though as I sold commercial property for him (not that I got any thanks for it) and I'm not a con artist.
