I currently like my job, but have had some that were real losers. I was a practical nurse for 14 years, and worked in a convent infirmary (OK, stop laughing. I never said I was a nun.) and I loved it. When they closed down the infirmary I moved to a hospital and hated it. Went to college and took some computer/secretarial courses and worked as a temp in a couple of Doctors offices and found such a horrendous lack of respect that I was glad to leave when the job was over.I was a registrar at a hospital, too. Hated the people I worked with (clique of backstabbing, immature, brown-nosing *itches), couldn't stand the manager, she found it amusing to move people with kids to impossible shifts, and when you told her that you were having a hard time because of babysitting or school, she just said "Then quit, you must not want to work." So I did. Fell into my current job by accident, and it is the best thing that ever happened to me. I get respect, my boss trusts that I know my job and can do it without constant supervision, and my coworkers are laid back and pleasant. Plus it pays (some) of the bills.
