poll: do you love your job?

There’s a reason Greg, myself, and thousands of other people are pursuing The 4 Hour Work Week: most jobs suck. Maybe you’re one of the lucky few who’s managed to to find work you truly enjoy. Comment away.

I’m a security analyst for a well-known security vendor, providing 24/7 network analysis for multiple fortune 500 companies and numerous others all across the globe (last week I called Dubai, Istanbul, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Johannesburg, to name a few).

Pay’s great, benefits are awesome, and I get an allocated $60 for security books every quarter (I like books!), and I was just sent to an awesome security (SANS) conference a couple weeks ago.

The only downside is it’s shift work, rotating every couple of weeks. Weekends are being slimmed down considerably. That, and I have the dress-code of having to wear a “collared shirt and pants” if I’m on during a weekday from 9-5ish which only encompasses one shift. I’m on overnights, so I’ve worn shorts, t-shirt and reefs to work for the past two weeks.

However, I *too* read the 4-hour workweek. I’m afraid I can’t apply some of the stuff due to various operating standards (remote from home, for example), but I brainstormed some awesome ideas for products/etc which I’d like to see turned into automated income! My job’s great, but “working” from a beach would be even better

I said “No” only because I don’t love it, I like it. It’s a living, I enjoy my co-workers and the work is fun at times. But if I could blog, write or goof off for the same living, I’d quit tomorrow. (Oh, I’m in PR.)
