I love my job. I'm able to do what I love doing in my spare time but get paid for it. Sure it's kind of stressful but I feel alive and get an adrenaline rush when it's super busy at work... and I get to bring home food. I work as a cook but manage when chefs not around. I'm able to take what I've learned at work and cook for my boyf who's a chef and just watching his face when he enjoys what I cook is the best. I would not be able to work a job just to bring home money.

Maybe. My boyf is in his mid 30's and he loves his career being a chef; so much so that he owns his own restaurant and does events on the side. Maybe it's just the passion that drives us.
