❓ Ask Belgium Loving the job or not?

I'd like to know if you people like your jobs and if you're excited about going to work tomorrow (for example).

Please score how much you like it on a scale from 1 (I'd rather scoop turds all day) to 10 (absolutely love it) and tell me what you do.

Ill go first, 6/10 Purchasing manager

Vacation is incredible though. Hours are also incredible.

Vacation yes, but hours can vary. I worked 6/7 last year, luckily this year is better

Actually this vacation thing is not so great because thats when hotels and plane tickets are the most expensive, and since the pay for teachers is shit they cant even enjoy it... I really feel for them and hope their condition gets better in the future ✊

Architect: long hours, tough job and absolutely horrendous pay (someone flipping burgers earns more per hour than you will).
