“People That Don’t Hate Their Jobs And Make A Decent Wage, What Do You Do?” (50 Answers)

I also disagree with that comment! I know a lot of dog people. Many of us couldn't have children for various reasons and therefore treat out pet(s)as we would our children which often means spoiling the cr*p outta them! If I had to put mine in a kennel or day care I'd definitely pay good money for the best care they could possibly get! Heck I'd probably give cash tips for extra love and treats :)

The kennel attendants at my vet didn't make much, they also had to do a lot more than clean...it's all about where you work and who you work for.

This is the job I want! For any kennel assistants here, are there any college requirements or anything like that?

I had this job as a teen ages ago. I loved it, even after one rambunctious dog knocked me down a flight of steps and I lost 4 front teeth. It was the BEST JOB EVER!

But is there money in it?

1200 a week plus good benefits is a decent living.

I liked this until the lazy f'in teachers part. Be a teacher for a day; see how long you last.

$30/hr is more than I make as a teacher!

I wouldn’t mind this at all, except for dealing with people.

I'm a teacher, and I totally appreciate my custodians. You guys rock!

Being outdoors and seeing all the incredible flora and fauna!

Oh to be outside all day....I'm definitely jealous!

I truly admire and respect All park rangers... especially ones in areas that are protecting Endangered wildlife.

My dream job

How do you do that

Everything is just better with dogs!

However, I had a friend who owned a dog boarding facility, ending up selling it because of the stress. Running a small business reequires a lot of knowledge and paperwork, caring for 30+ dogs daily is not easy. Every dog has different needs, food, exercise,, meds etc. You can never be off the property without leaving someone in charge. Every cage must be cleaned daily, sometimes more than once. Many dog owners are VERY hard to please. It is a 24/7 12 month job that has occasional fun spots.

That's picking up a lot of poop.

Your boss is great. The sad thing is all the things OP mentions are what every job should be: a job you enjoy, where you are treated with respect, you get a decent salary, and where you can work to live and not the other way round ... Unfortunately, for millions of people that sounds like an unreachable dream. More and more companies are treating people like slaves.

I am getting 20 dollars an hour, 32 hours a week (paid lunch) with 3 days off a week working at a gas station just being crew.

I have a master's degree and my last several jobs have paid less.

I worked for an animal hospital for ~10 years, and it was the best job. Unfortunately, the pay didn’t allow for me to live comfortably OR raise a family ☹️ Still miss working there…

I'd do that for free in my spare time. Actually, I'd PAY to do it!

I'm noticing a trend with animal jobs hahah

Not good for their skin and coats. It takes the oils off the ducks feathers and makes them not waterproof not to mention they drink/filter the soap and get diarrhea/ sick and pigs do the same. Stop the misinformation and making stuff up, anybody who actually does this knows better

I love this one because there is nothing intrinsically awesome about this job, it's just the attitude of the person doing it. They could look at it as tedious and boring, but instead choose to view it as full of meaning. ANY job can suck and ANY job can be awesome. Mostly it's about how you choose to experience it.

We thank you for your work! Unsung lab techs rule!

Thank you

As a frequent flyer at a few local hospital s I really appreciate your work!

How's your knees and your back holding up?

I'll never understand those snobs who feel physical labor is beneath them.

I'm a wife who worked... and still "raised our kids." My husband also "raised our kids." This type of comment irritates me more than it should - like a stay-at-home mom is "raising the kids" to the exclusively of those who work.

Construction has been great to me-- good pay, and I get paid to yell at people all day. (safety guy)
