(16,344 posts)I work in a specific sector of public health. Since graduating from college, this is the only employer Ive worked for, though I left the workforce for almost a decade to stay home with my kids and returned to the same job when they were in middle school.
I have wonderful coworkers and a great boss. The work is varied and interesting. I feel like the work I do contributes to society. Im able to work from home and have a lot of autonomy around my daily tasks. If I get the job done, Im left very much alone to do so. And I make sure I get the job done.
The pay is good because Im an engineer. Dh works in the private sector (consulting firm) with the same professional license and makes much much more than I do. But even if we were to live on only my income wed be just fine.
I feel fortunate.
