‘Find a job you love and you’ll never work again’.

The enjoyment of employment seems to be the idea placed under the microscope in new, Kickstarter funded publication, [Day Job](http://dayjobmag.com/?ref=protein.xyz). Taking a fresh, stylish look at the activity most of us spend a third of our lives doing, Day Job focuses on pinning down the motivations, hazards and eccentricities of life’s great pursuit.

You’d be forgiven for assuming a magazine examining the daily grind would be a rather dour, depressing affair but Day Job manages to keep a consistently upbeat, enthusiastic outlook throughout. With articles ranging from an interview with Catholic friar/architect Björn Engdahl to a look at the typically shoddy, rushed meals forced upon the world’s kitchen staff, the magazine has a hugely diverse range of topics to draw from.

Considering you can regularly pick up a magazine on something as niche as cake decoration embroidery from WH Smith it seems amazing that there hasn’t been a publication about the very thing that is so central to so many people’s lives before.
