A Greece native spent some time traveling around asking people 'Do you love your job?'

Author Andrew Harrison traveled the country to find out the answer to that very question. He chronicled 33 people, 5 of them from Rochester. Jobs included janitors, astronauts, and even the founder of the 401K program. The results are in his book titled: 'Love your 84,000 Hours of Work’. It is his calculation of a lifetime of labor.

"It is 42 years of your life times 40 hours a week times 50 weeks per year equals 84,000 hours. Lot of hours, but if you love it, it's not as daunting of a number," said Harrison.

Harrison says those who love their job feel like their work makes a difference.
