People sometimes say they LOVE their job, which I understand is sometimes used as a ‘catch-all’ phrase to describe something you enjoy, appreciate, get excited about. Thinking about it, I’m quite sure I’ve said it before myself.
There are many keys to loving your job, but perhaps the first key is that you shouldn’t LOVE your job, but rather, LOVE the people who you work with, the people you work for, the people who allow you to do the work, the people who support it, the people who buy your work, the people who defend your work, the people who appreciate your work, the people who promote your work and so on.
If you love the people, the appreciation for the job comes naturally.
