VIP Class Notes (Mike)

My work is very busy every day because I have to deal with different people. There are store staff in, lab staff, government and my colleagues in Italy.
Because my position in the company is to manage product quality. Sometimes I think, do I like my job? Am I just for the money?
The answer is no, I like my job, not just for the money, because my job is different every day, I will encounter different cases, but as soon as I solve it,
I am very happy, I feel my company needs me and my work is very meaningful.

My work is very busy every day because I have to deal with different people, including store and lab staff, government officials and my Italian colleagues.
My position in the company is to manage product quality, which can be tedious and repetitive. Sometimes I think, do I really/genuinely love my job? Or am I here just for the money? After some thought, I can say with confidence that I like my job and money is not everything. 

Whenever I solve a difficult case, I will be satisfied and get a sense of achievement. Therefore, I find my work meaningful.
