Why We Love Our Jobs: A Series Of Stories From Passionate People

February is the month of love…according to some people, but love isn’t just about romance. Loving life is just as important as loving another person. And given that you spend nearly a quarter of your time at work, loving your job is an important part of that.

But what does it take to love your job? We sat down with some of the happiest people at WayUp and asked them, “Why do you love your job?” And more importantly, they told us how people like you can get into their industries.

In the immortal words of the Law & Order opening: These are their stories.

Carmel, a recent grad who works in sales.

Miranda, a Digital Marketer in NYC.

Jim, an HR and recruiting leader.

Katie, a Graphic Designer and Art Director.

Billy, a Class of 2017 grad who’s now a Product Manager at WayUp.
