what does everyone do for a living?

[RedBen]

just wondering. i'm unemployed right now, but my girl's dad is looking at leasing garages. hopefully i will be in my own bay fixing cars soon.

[Igor]

trade school student, doing machining

[Landsharks eat metal]

Studying to be a veterinary assistant, starting my internship this month. Been trying to get a part-time job but no one seems to want to hire me. Plus I volunteer at the library once a week.

[Quail]

Currently unemployed (although I should note that taking care of a 3 year old is a full time job). I am hoping to be a student again soon though.

[A Revolutionary Tool]

Hustler(illegal stuff). Jk

It really depends on the month, sometimes I'm working full time getting overtime everyday, the next month I'm barely getting 4 hours a day.
Lately I've been wondering if I should get a medical marijuana card and grow weed for dispensaries, good money on the side and I'm just putting seeds in the ground and taking care of them really. Kind of bourgie though...

[bcbm]

working part time

[Goblin]

Im unemployed lol

[Consistent.Surprise]

Librarian seeking full time work (currently in academic library for the past 5 semesters)

[Popular Front of Judea]

Looks like the precariat is winning hands down so far.

It takes a lot of money to start a decent grow-op, and you really have to know your shit in order to compete with the professionals of the industry.

Oh yeah I know, my friends parents make a lot of money doing that and they have the best weed I've ever smoked in my life, I'd be getting tips from them and clones. Not really thinking of competing or anything, just side money to pay for things I can't afford now like my cell phone bill. I have enough money now to pay for gas for work tonight and that's it and I don't get paid until next Friday. This is how hustlers are made I guess, I'm none too good at it though.

i feel like an airhead, i didn't know what "grow op" meant... :laugh: i feel you, i work on cars whenever possible... it's ridiculous how many people cannot or will not pay for car repair. i've had people turn down free labor. i figured if i did some free, word would get out... still broke:crying:

[Sam_b]

I'm the head of Mossad.

[Sentinel]

Full time, for the same company since 13 years. I'm currently working as a receptionist, started as a storage worker and have also done shop cashier.

A quite safe job situation due to local employment laws, which are still powerful compared to most other countries, but I'm starting to get increasingly fed up with what I'm doing.

[slum]

i am a worthless drain on society due to my inability to sustain any long-term employment and i periodically harass the state to fund my luxurious mental excursions into the dusty annals of classical philology

sometimes if i'm real lucky rich people will let me clean their houses, at least until they misplace something and decide i stole it

[Popular Front of Judea]

Last "permanent" job was working at the front desk of a subsidised building for the recently homeless downtown. Alas I butted heads with the executive director. I was dismissed just as the slump started. The lesson for you kids out there is avoid working for Catholic non-profits. They are as a rule self-insured, they have every reason to screw you out of worker compensation and unemployment benefits.

After a couple of tough years I am now drawing Social Security disability. I have joined the indigent aristocracy. :rolleyes:

[The Feral Underclass]

I'm a filthy student and self-employed.

[Sasha]

i work part time as an bouncer, i study 1 day a week as an artisan carpenter and i started my own small carpentry company where i hope to be able to live from at a certain point, and i make theater...

[Brandon's Impotent Rage]

I'm a pharmacy technician, part-time.

[GiantMonkeyMan]

I work retail part-time but recently (due to the summer months) I've been getting extra shifts enough to essentially be full time. Come autumn that'll probably change.

[Vladimir Innit Lenin]

student. will be a teacher in a year.

I say unemployed because i'm only working a handful of hours a week at the moment, so I guess i'm sort of employed right now. Had to leave my uni job because... I left uni.

[The pizza crazed Anarchist]

I work as a full time butcher and counter person at a Italian specialties store.

[Art Vandelay]

I'm technically still a student (double major in political science and english) but am taking a break from school for a bit. I work full time as a support worker and generally get about 50-60 hours a week.

[Red HalfGuard]

On weekends I work at an arts/crafts market. On weeknights I teach martial arts. Chronically underemployed.

[Os Cangaceiros]

Seasonal (part time), semi-skilled labor

[Trap Queen Voxxy]

I def fall under the hustler option. I'm a door-to-door salesperson, paid companion, scam artist, aspiring machinist, writer and actor and all around loony personality. Sometimes I wish I had schoolin, could go to school and so on but other times I wonder what'd be the point. I don't really know what I'm doing, to be perfectly honest.

[Ele'ill]

full time warehouse, part time retail, full time alcoholic, pusher of precious metals, want to take a look at my wares?

[#FF0000]

i sell potions n provisions to adventurers who pass through town in their journey to vanquish the ancient evil

[Pirx]

I'm working for the class enemy – at a very large rightwing newspaper publisher in Germany. Subscriber complaint service. Before starting the job I thought they were based on a full-fledged conservative ideology. But then I figured out that the fundament is ripoff and greed of the cheapest kind. Quite instructive in a way.

[SonofRage]

Operations Engineer at a large Internet company.

[Anglo-Saxon Philistine]

I'm an unemployed student. Hopefully at some point I will stop my current hobby of calculating reaction rates no one cares about and start a real job calculating reaction rates no one cares about, and also maybe they sometimes pay me so I can eat.

[Ceallach_the_Witch]

sporadically employed student. I'm currently out of work, have been for a few months now. I don't think I've liked any of the jobs I've ever had

[cyu]

Sweet. I'm hitting bushes and furniture for shiny stuff as we speak. Let's make a deal!

[Sperm-Doll Setsuna]

Useless welfare parasite, early retirement due to psychiatric illnesses and other disorders and being daft. Mmm, living on the lowest income bracket.

so you worked? i assume that you paid into the system, far from a parasite imo

Got to be Bild, ja?

[The Feral Underclass]

Got to be Bild, ja?

Oder Die Welt.

[Sam_b]

Aye, one or the other. I was going on Bild being one of the biggest selling in the world, but both are Springer group so have mass circulation.

[Pirx]

Neither Bild nor Welt are unreasonable :-)

[Tenka]

Well I do a lot of things but none of them makes me any money. (unemployed)

[sixdollarchampagne]

Retired, on a pension, with Social Security, after 32.5 years with the same university. When I think about it, I realize how lucky I am. The best of luck to everyone who is still punching a clock! If the IWW had a branch down here, I would join it, to do what I could to improve the situation of those who toil. That would probably be more effective than kibitzing on revleft :)

[Tifosi]

I just got a job in a restaurant.

[human strike]

I'm an undercover cop. Either that or I'm unemployed.

[Ceallach_the_Witch]

I suspect I'm going to really need the extra money over the next year so I've started looking at jobs again which isn't soul-crushing at all no sir.

Upside is that the council usually start posting loads of jobs in september and october so at least there's a vague prospect of a less-than-averagely shitty job

[RedAnarchist]

I work four days a week as a systems admin in HR.

[Rusty Shackleford]

Work full time doing the same monotonous thing over and over.

[MarxSchmarx]

Were you a professor?

=MarxSchmarx;2656210]Were you a professor?

Nah, I wish. I was an "admin assistant," essentially a secretary, which was not that bad. I got decent pay for spending all day helping people.

[Consistent.Surprise]

If I'm guessing correctly where you worked, do you not remember what idiots some of those profs can be? I'm not looking forward to fielding specific profs questions/requests/demands starting Wednesday

[Glitchcraft]

Am I the only person who works in a factory?

[Rusty Shackleford]

if you count distribution as being part of factory work then no, you are surely not the only one.



though it is on the bottom rung of 'skilled' :laugh:

Oh, after getting out of the Navy, I moved to southern New England, so I didn't work at the university you are thinking of, but I did a stint there, earlier, as a grad student in a foreign languages department. I never quite knew what to make of that university. Some of my profs were impressive, but at night, they went home to the suburbs, while the university where they taught was in a depressed urban environment. The university where I later worked as an admin assistant for over three decades, sits on the Charles River, a beautiful location.

[Consistent.Surprise]

I *still* don't know what to make of it. I was a student years ago. Now an employee. Both sides are lost about it.

[Glitchcraft]

Yeah me too.

[Questionable]

I work in an Amazon Fulfillment Center while also studying for my degree in Social Work. Every time someone returns an item, I have to inspect it to see if it can be re-sold, or if they've used it too much for it to be considered reusable.

[Sinister Intents]

I'm a business owner. We do make decorative concrete pads, flat work, concrete repair, concrete removal, concrete counter tops, pretty much everything and anything that can be done with concrete. Then we do odd jobs in the winter. I fucking hate being a business owner....

[Popular Front of Judea]

You can atone for being a business owner by hiring an unemployed comrade or two. :grin:

I've been hoping to do that :-D

[Lacrimi de Chiciură]

Presently I drive cars (full-time). It's somewhat droll since I've never actually owned a car. I also volunteer in ESL for adults. I'll be a teacher in a year, probably.

[4MyNation]

Cashier at a Burger King, however it should be temporary

[TaylorS]

Retail clerk at a thrift store that is staffed by people with disabilities (I have Asperger's).

[Don't Swallow The Cap]

Currently work at a burger joint where everything is locally sourced. It's not too shabby, but brings in a huge amount of insufferable liberal types. The money is pretty shitty, especially comparing it to my last job.
Hopefully I can find a way to fund my EMT certification so I can get the fuck out of the food service industry. I'm certain I'll go mad soon enough.
:cursing::cursing::cursing::mad:

[The Garbage Disposal Unit]

I went busking for an hour yesterday, and made about ten bucks. I've certainly done more unpleasant things for $10 an hour.

Anyway, I'm applying to be a filthy ENGO bureaucrat. I'll let everyone knows if it works out, and help arrange the trashing of my office for being a class collaborationist.

[Popular Front of Judea]

Be sure to leave your computer on and connected to the office network. Thanks.

[Ceallach_the_Witch]

Not a job per se, but I've been volunteering at a few beer festivals in Yorkshire recently, which whilst it doesn't pay (in money) is at least something I can put on my cv.


(and aaaah free beer yesss)
