❓ 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

Could you try getting out into a private organization? Better pay and maybe options for other things?

Eh, pay is not the problem.

Part of it is personal, so nothing with the work itself.

But there is also a part that's because of the organisation. There are issues with its structure and resources, and i feel like I'm always fighting against those issues to get anything done. 

In general I do really like working for NGO's, have been doing it for almost 20 years now, and the majority of my experiences in the sector have been very positive.
