About radio: Yeah, I'd say so
About doing news in Geritropolis, Indiana: Hell no.

I'd be happy with a non-news on air position and staying network admin and engineer assistant.

I'm very passionate about my academics. I want to work in the art field, hopefully on video games or movies, and you can't be a slacker and do well enough to make those. Especially with art in general, it's a lifetime commitment.

7 days a week.

I really like it, but doing news in a farming town with 15,000 people isn't fun. The paper ran a front page story about a bean cookout at some lady's house. My boss's wife likes stuff like that. I told her no

I do news, sports, a religious show, ESPN Radio board op-ing, the occasional football and basketball game, engineering, networking and computer maintanance, and now weekday overnight programming.

It's a hard business to get into. I got lucky.

 

I take immense pride when I work on my customer's cars.

What's the sense of doing a job if you do it half assed ?

Well, here's a saying and it helps you keep what is important in life, in front of you.






I WORK TO LIVE, NOT LIVE TO WORK.






By the way, at times I love my job, at other times, I hate my job. As long as I have something to do, I am usually happy.

I guess I should eleaborate on my previous post as it relates to be ing "passionate". I am a oftware engineer, and I find it hard to motivate when everything in the workplace is disorganized. it gos project to project, but my current project is a mess and the lead doesn't know how to design software. He knows alot, but has no idea how to design Object Oriented programs. Key word here is design. So my answer is no, I am not passionate, and I can even feal myself getting dumber the longer I am on this project.

if you don't mind my asking, who do you work for?

 

[Jfur]

Absolutely

 

[yellowperil]

Nope. I wanted to take time off after graduating college, but couldn't b/c of financial reasons, so had to start law school. I'm probably one of the youngest people in my class, w/o any 'real world' experience. Looking at cases all day is tedious.

 

[Whitecloak]

very passionate about academics
absolutely hate my job and am soon going to quit.

 

[wyvrn]

passionate about finishing my degree. yes

passionate about any of the jobs I have had? no, but I always took pride in my work and did them well.

would I be passionate if I could get a sys admin job? hell yes
