View submission: How many people love(d) their job?
Forty years ago, I applied for a part-time job as a weekend DJ in a radio station in Stroudsburg, PA. It's turned into a career that's been rewarding in almost every way. Never made a ton of money, but found other ways to generate income. I love my job and always have. I'm probably in the minority.

I loved working in radio more than any other job I've ever had. Unfortunately, the "never made a ton of money" part of it was a problem when I was trying to raise my oldest child as a single mom, and I left the industry.

All those store openings added up? 🙂

I started out as a radio journalist intern after 9/11, they hired me on. I loved writing stories and editing voice work, but I quit when I had to chase a mafia boss exiting the courthouse in a mob of reporters. I was paid around $6 then and didn't want to stoop that low to make a livable wage.
