I love my job right now. But originally I only took it for the money. Thats another reason for going to college for me. So when I finally live in the real world I will be able to do something I love. But even if I did not have to work I think I would at least part time. I would go crazy without something to do all day.

I don't like working. I'm a lazy git and I love lounging around all day so working was a big shock to the system.
I only work because I have to. If I won the lottery tomorrow I'd jack the job in and bugger off abroad.

And if they get me take this spike and, you put the spike in my heart.

I don't hate my job, but it's not my dream job either. If I didn't have to pay bills, and won the lottery then there's no way that I would be working today. I might get a part time job and work once or twice a week, for about four hours a shift. But nothing more then that.

I enjoy my job. But I plan on going further in it. I'm one of those inner workaholics thats never quite happy with where I'm at no matter how content life really is.
If I were "set" for life and didnt need to work... I'd be more of a Hobbyist than anything else. Mostly small furniture carpentry or even some metallurgy. I love creating things from raw materials.

Reminds me of my grandpa...not like you sound old, lol, just that he always has to do something. When he retired he still did a lot of stuff at home including carpentry and things you think an old man has no more energy to do. He was always active, that's what he loves to do.

If I could work doing what I loved, then yes I'd enjoy working.
Regardless, I work because I need to earn money.
If I didn't need to work, I would have to find some routine to stick to in my basic day otherwise I'd go crazy with nothing to do. I've got to keep busy at least for the first part of the day (till lunch time), then the rest of it is already planned out for me - pick up daughter, take care of her.

Because it's possible the most fufilling thing I could ever ask for. And its fun,
Do you like working?
I love it! The people, the job, the hours, the people, the job, the people, the hours, the job. I love it all!
If you didn't need the money, would you still work?
**** yeah. Actually, I worked the same show for 32 hours strait, 12 of which I didn't get paid for.
Yep. That was a great crew. Crappy venue. Crappy show. Crappy attendance. Amazing crew.

There was a quote here, but the the person who SAID the quote and pretty much ASKED for it to be placed in my sig asked for it to be removed.
****ing ass...

It's better then reaching out my hand to the government. I'd rather work 2 jobs then take hand outs from people. I guess thats just the conservative side of me... I do get rather peeved when I see people sit on their **** collecting handouts tho.

Ok, I got your rant but you forgot to answer whether you'd still work if you didn't need the money.

If I didn't need the money? I'd probably take more time off, but I'd work just to pass the time. So yes I would.
