It depends on the definition of "enjoying work" (bear with me).
Many of us enjoy doing hobbies. We do them for free or even pay to do them. I enjoy going to the cinema, reading a good book, eating a nice meal in a restaurant, etc. All those things I choose to pay to do. So... do I enjoy my work enough that I would choose to pay to do my job? No. Do I enjoy my work enough that I would do it for nothing? No. I primarily do the work I do because I am paid to do it. I need money to pay the bills therefore I come to work. If someone gave me millions of pounds I would stop going to work and do something more enjoyable instead. If the company decided to no longer pay me (or paid me significantly less than I'm getting now) then I would stop going to work and look for a job that did pay me enough. Therefore, by that definition, I do not enjoy work. However, I don't hate my job. It's reasonably satisfying. I get to use my brain at times. The people I work with are friendly. There's a good work-life balance. I get paid reasonably well (although I'll happily take a pay rise!). But I wouldn't go quite so far as saying I "enjoy" it - because, well, I don't (see above). By my definition, I suspect the same is true for most people.

I really like my job but I don’t LOVE it, I wouldn’t do it for free. ☺️ It helps that I only work three days a week though, if I was full time I may feel differently. I left my last job as I used to feel sick every evening before I was due to go into work, I hated it so much. I took a pay cut to do what I do now but it was totally worth it.

I would do my second job for free (though I have a wedding to pay for as many holidays so let’s not tell them that!), I LOVE that job. Though there are days where you couldn’t pay me enough to repeat them.
My main job, still a no from me!

It's a good idea to keep an idea on the Jet2 website, but there are loads of jobs/careers which involve international travel and any of those would give you the airport / aeroplane travel experience. I'm sure lots of Dibbers will travel for their jobs. Good luck EC |

I don't mind working- I like the routine of going to work and I like where I work on the whole, it is a 2 mile walk from home, my husband works here and I love the hours (7am-3.30pm). I have been made redundant three times in my life and I hate the thought of going through that again as I really hate changing jobs. Obviously if I won the lottery I would be off but I don't mind working here for as long as I can
