At/In My Job

[Elaineg]

1. "There are a lot of strange people at my job."
2. "There are a lot of strange people in my job."
3. "I work long hours at my job."
4. "I work long hours in my job."

I am wondering which ones are acceptable English.

They are all possible.

NOT A TEACHER

(1) Maybe I am wrong, but this is how I interpret the difference:

(a) There are a lot of strange people at my job. = I am referring to the people who work

with me at a particular location. In other words, "There are a lot of strange people at my

company."

(b) There are a lot of strange people in my job. = I am referring to the people who

have decided to do my kind of work. In other words, "There are a lot of strange people

in my profession."
