I guess I'm not suppose to post, because of the post title, but I actually love my job. I'm a night manager at a free-standing Chick-fil-A restaurant (for those of you who might not know, it is a fast food restaurant that sells chicken) and I work 45 hours/week while going to school. I've been with Chick-fil-A for 6 years and you wouldn't believe how great the people are, from the CEO, S. Truett Cathy, to the owner of my store, and then to the people I work with and hire. It is a privately owned corporation, which means we are able to be closed on Sundays (the CEO and founder is a Christian) and it is the best place I've ever worked (and I've work at a tire shop, doctor's office, and summer camps). I'm graduating in the fall with a bachelor of science in computer and electrical engineering but instead of becoming an engineer I've decided since I like Chick-fil-A so much I'm going to own one. In fact, Chick-fil-A is so great that at the first one I worked (in Tyler, TX) I met my wife who I just married 1 month ago. Let me throw you some facts real quick. 30% of Americans are actively engaged in their work (they love what they do and don't need much motivation), 53% are disengaged (they don't love what they do, and they need motivation), and 17% are actively disengaged (they hate their job and are actually driving customers away). Hopefully those of you who hate your jobs can find something you love to do, because trust me, the better pay or benefits that you may receive at another job aren't worth it if you aren't going to love it.
