Quick story: When I was about 5 I was at the grocery store with my mother and sister, and I was watching wide eyed as the butcher gutted a fish. I blurted out, "Do you like your job?", and he just looked at me, exceedingly unimpressed. Oops.
Just started a new job today. 8 hours in is a little bit soon to judge, but it got me wondering. What do you guys do, and do you like it? What is your dream job, and, why is it or is it not possible to pursue? If you hate what you do, are you at all bitter, or pretty resigned to that fact?
I'm working at a startup, doing back end, mobile, and web development. I think my dream job would actually be to have my own small software company, doing something to move us forward as a species. Even if it's just a little. Not sure I have the chops yet to run my own show, but maybe someday it will be practical for me. Just trying to learn as much as I can at the moment.
