Tell Us Now: 19 People Who Actually Love Their Jobs

There are a lot of people in the world who hate their jobs. They go to work every day, do the bare minimum, and can't wait to go home. Then there are the people who actually love their jobs. They wake up excited to go to work, put in extra effort, and genuinely enjoy what they do. So what's the difference between these two groups of people? It all comes down to passion.
