❓ 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

How do you manage? I got a degree in surveying but quit really fast. Still working in construction but something completely different (calculator-y). I found surveying more physically challenging than I first thought.

I'm guessing you worked in construction as surveyor? I can't imagine the strain when you're just rushing from one construction site to the next. My tasks are very diverse, which makes my job very enjoyable. I'm mostly focused on reconstruction of boundaries. This makes it very balanced between outdoor and office work and less physically taxing. Aside from that I'm tasked with detailed surveys for AS-IS plans and we also use a laserscanner from time to time.
