    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Useless welfare parasite, early retirement due to psychiatric illnesses and other disorders and being daft. Mmm, living on the lowest income bracket.
    The revolutionary despises public opinion. He despises and hates the existing social morality in all its manifestations. For him, morality is everything which contributes to the triumph of the revolution. Immoral and criminal is everything that stands in its way.

    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.
