Occupationns Here on Revleft

[Positivist]

Just trying to get a sense of which sectors are the most class consciouss. (Not all professions included are typically considered Proletarian.)

[The Jay]

I'll play your game sir.

[Prometeo liberado]

I take blind chickens out to shit.

[La Comédie Noire]

I voted medical professional. I am currently a CNA working in long term care and let me tell you no where are things more politically heated in the U.S. than in Nursing.

[Bronco]

Student (undergrad) :unsure:

[Ozymandias]

Aiming for a double major in English (Creative Writing) and Journalism (News Writing). So my two majors will probably end up contradicting one another, and I'm gonna leave the institution a couple years from now with no new knowledge.

[Deicide]

I'm an undergrad student (Philosophy, Politics and Economics), but I also work (part time) in a store, volunteer at a charity and work at night in a pizza place. In the charity and pizza place, I mostly sit around reading or using the internet. Since discovering marxism, I'm finding it much harder to convince myself to attend work ;)

I sell semen on the side of the road

[The Young Pioneer]

I'm attempting to get into grad school but keep getting rejected everywhere. Have two more to hear from, gawd help meh.

My situation's kind of funky. I finished my undergrad work in December but delayed walking at a graduation ceremony til May so my family could be there. Meanwhile I've been doing some volunteer work (after failed attempts to get a retail job...even Target rejected me [and I lied on my resume and said I only have a GED!]). I have an internship with the government (gasp, I know), and am taking a TEFL course.

If I get rejected everywhere for grad school, TEFL sending me abroad is my back-up plan.


And that was entirely too long a rant sorry. :blushing:

[La Comédie Noire]

Student (undergrad) :unsure:

Why are you so sad about it?

[Os Cangaceiros]

forklift driver

Thank god that we have at least one forklift driver here!

[Bronco]

Why are you so sad about it?

Ha no I'm not sad, that was just an "erm" face because student leftists can be thought of as pretty annoying

[Dennis the 'Bloody Peasant']

Office worker / call centre

[Zav]

I'm a blacksmith and farmer and studying for my A+ exams, so I'm going to be both a manual and technical worker. Please let people be able to select more than one thing in the poll.

[Left Leanings]

I have been a student, briefly emloyed in social care on graduation, and have not worked for many years due to disability. I ticked 'other', because the UK government does not include the sick/disabled in unemployment statistics.

I am, however, meaningfully occupied. There are a plethora of healthy and worthy causes out there ;)

[hatzel]

I'm conducting an ongoing occupation of my sofa...

[Aurora]

Manual labour/unemployed, i have fuck all hours so i voted unemployed, hope to get back into education.

[Left Leanings]

That's what I want to do ;)

[Arlekino]

Restaurant worker here hated all the time, no tips, no uniform I have to pay myself for trousers white shirts and shoes. Earning few pennies hura I am so happy I got a job.

[Sasha]

i make my money as a bouncer, i try to make money as a set designer/builder, i used to study to become a theaterteacher, i study now part time to become a furniture builder and i waste money being an artist.

[piet11111]

I work at a social workplace where we take care of most of the municipals green meaning we cut the grass in ditches and sportsfields and brush the streets clean of weeds.

We rarely plant stuff ourselves because as the head "landscaper" of the municipality says we are "lumberjacks" not gardeners.
The guy is an asshole but he is right we all hate gardening stuff and would much rather be out playing with chainsaws and other heavy machinery then dick about plucking weeds out of flowerbeds or go about with those scissor thingy's to cut shrubs in the proper way.

So i voted manual labor and i am thoroughly disappointed to be the only one so far.

[Leftsolidarity]

We should be able to choose more than one

[Positivist]

McDonald's here, I don't know what category that fits under.

Yea I don't know what I'd put that under. Maybe just Fast Food Guy would've been fine. My b.

[Raúl Duke]

undergrad in history with minor in anthropology; I plan to apply to Teach for America (in New York or New Jersey) and teach history...or just get certified in Florida or some other state (with lax standards: all you need is a BA and pass a test) to teach history at some school. Thinking about getting into law school but who knows what the future ultimately holds.

[The Douche]

Running the business end of a tattoo shop (customers, paperwork, payroll, supplies, sterilization etc) and apprenticing to be a body piercer.

[Positivist]

I'm a blacksmith and farmer and studying for my A+ exams, so I'm going to be both a manual and technical worker. Please let people be able to select more than one thing in the poll.

I'm an undergrad, but I work part time as a janitor. Last summer I did landscaping and this summer I'm going to be painter. So I voted other

[ColonelCossack]

I'd say I'm a school student, but someone would make a crack at my tendency and the fact that I'm still in school.

[No_Leaders]

i listen to customers complain through my headset for 8 hours a day, and ask me "what are you going to do to fix this blah blah" and i empathize telling them i understand how terribly frustrating it must be that their 3000$ GE refrigerator has a broken ice maker.. annd then get to listen to them yell at me because welp the first avail date to get a technician out there is 3 days away.. oh boy it's the end of the world no ice! although what i'd love to tell them is goto dollar tree buy an ice cube tray for 75 cents.. that's what i do in my apartment jeeze.

Call center full time, and student at community college.

[Ose]

For a living I stand in one spot, unable to escape or retaliate, receiving constant verbal abuse all night long. Where's that option?

[Sentinel]

I work on a cruiseferry as a cashier in the duty free shop, and occasionally also as a receptionist. I've been doing this for 12 years (although for the first 3 I was a storage worker). 7 days onboard and 7 at home.

[High School Marxist]

This haha.

[Aussie Trotskyist]

Last year of High School (put that as result).

I also work as a human dishwasher.

[Rusty Shackleford]

Yeah, I'm in highschool too. The young are typically the more radical, it's always been that way. Hopefully the majority stay Leftists when they get out of highschool. But judging by the dedication a "high-rank" in this site takes, the active ones won't give up their ideals.
They'll have to pry my tank from my cold, dead hands.

[Igor]

Kinda surprised at the amount of high schoolers, I was assuming the average revlefter to be more like twenty-something. Oh well.

But yeah, few weeks ago I was still doing logistics work that mainly involved driving around, now unemployed, in a few weeks gonna be an undergrad student. Voted undergrad

[Q]

Senior advisor for technical phone support.

Read: I'm basically an elite computer janitor.

[Workers-Control-Over-Prod]

I voted unemployed. Finished school this year and am thinking about going to university or getting a job. My favorite option would be to stay at home and read revolutionary leftist books the next few months until the crisis hits Germany so i can finally tell my parents "Hey look, now we have 50% youth unemployment like Spain, Greece! What can I do about the economy? Now i'll just have to become a professional revolutionary living off your labor, the material conditions are at fault!"

I'd recommend that you get a job and go to uni (if your economically able to.) The job part might be hard but it'll be a lot harder after shit hits the fan in Germany.

and if you don't feel like going to uni and/or can't get a job right now, get a trade.

[ed miliband]

undergrad student scum

[Landsharks eat metal]

I am currently pursuing a technical education and volunteering at the library every Saturday, and when I get my associate's degree (in 18 months, I think), I will either become a veterinary assistant or go to school longer to become a vet tech.

[Philo]

I'm an undergrad studying physics and philosophy, but I also work in a bookstore. Voted student just 'cause.

[Art Vandelay]

I sell labor power.

[Ostrinski]

undergrad student scum[2]

[smellincoffee]

So we're mostly unemployed students? :lol:

(At least, those who bothered voting.)

I spend most of my days helping people work out computer issues, and sometimes respond to local history inquiries.

I think that most people are too involved in their own problems to spend the extensive time to break free from the prevailing sentiments that accompany the proletariat. It is a large part of our goal to make this process easier and less strenuous such that the majority of us ceases to be students and becomes the average worker.

[Admiral Swagmeister G-Funk]

Undergrad. I was a worker (carpenter) but didn't become a communist until college. I was a reactionary when I was a full-time workers. A lot of workers are, which is a necessary point of discussion.

[Obs]

Law school. I figured I'm already an insufferable prick, might as well go all in.

[Sam_b]

Postgraduate starting my PhD in a couple of weeks.

[Rocky Rococo]

I put down hired researcher in the poll, because that's the closest to what I do. It's less interesting and much less financially rewarding than it may sound though. Just grunt work for the mortgage industry doing real estate title searches. The worst part is that if we were to actually win, this one skill I have would immediately become even more worthless than it is now. Then it would be back to mopping floors and cutting lawns I guess.

[Positivist]

Postgraduate starting my PhD in a couple of weeks.

What have you studied and what are you getting your PhD in.

[ckaihatsu]

I liked the Internet so much that I took the plunge and fully merged with it so that my existence is now purely digital.

Pros: No more bodily functions to take care of, awesome feeling of know-it-all-ness

Cons: Haven't had an Italian Beef in years now, can't actually meet friends I've made online in person.

[Sam_b]

What have you studied and what are you getting your PhD in

My undergraduate degee was joint in Slavonic Studies/Central & East European Studies; followed by a PgDip in Czech language.

My research interests are Central & East European cinema, particularly of Czechoslovakia/Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland. Outside of this I also look at history and Civil Society movements in the same countries.

The topic I am researching for my PhD is provisionally titled The Czech Republic through the Lenses of Documentary Film: An Analysis of Špáta’s and Třeštíkova’s
cinematic narrative in the post-1989 environment, and aims to examine ideas of authoral 'voice' in pre-and-post communist Czech non-fiction film; and in particular if prevailing themes emerged which altered the style of documentary language.

Yeah, I'm a nerd.
