I could not see myself doing anything else. I enjoy going to work more than going home.

I kind of think it may be because I'm young and still relatively new to this line of work, but I know of people who have been in the industry for years and still love what they do. It's a lot more fun to work around people who truly enjoy their career.

What do you actually do with planes? All I know is that you work at an airport.

I think he checks customers in at gates and ferries old ladies around in wheelchairs. Not exactly an integral part of the airline industry, but he likes it.

I work in customer service. I deal with ticket inquiries and gate check-in, etc. I do nothing with wheelchairs, we have a separate company who does that. I also do a lot of computer work in our offices.

I believe I am an integral part of the airline industry, your opinion does not faze me in the least (aren't you unemployed?). Every flight is handed off to a different person during different stages of operation, and I am one of those people. I strongly believe my job is an important part of getting people where they want to go and that is why I take pride in it.

I'm the boss, which is pretty much great. I make all the big decisions, there's little gruntwork, and I take a lot of pride in steering the ship. It also affords me the opportunity to have a meaningful impact in our little community. I like the people I work with and I'm proud to be in American manufacturing.

I also get to travel quite a bit to enjoyable places around the world.

It is occasionally annoying, sometimes quite stressful, but the challenges are so many and so varied that there is little monotony. Good times, overall.

My job is studying. Some days I like it, some days it sucks.

That said, I wouldn't want to make a career out of it.
