What do you guys do for living

Web developer in London desu
Pretty much the perfect job for me

I can't seem to hold a job for more than a month at a time. I'm pathetic. I dropped out of high school and college as well. I should probably just put an end to this misery.

I haven't been able to hold any job for as long as a year. I don't mind work itself but I have very poor social skills and am bad at handling confrontation. The longer I stay on a staff the more a bad tension builds with my coworkers to where it's far more mental stress dealing with them than it is doing what I'm paid to do. I should probably just pursue a solitary line of work, but I would rather grow from experience than give up on my social life altogether.

As they have to write documents I have to inspect and approve, perhaps having read a bit would improve their ability to make themselves understood in text.

Hmm I get your point, so do you think they have to immerse themselves in great literature?

I've got MS in applied mathematics, so I spend my days writing shitty AI software for American firms from an apartment in Bulgaria. Very comfy living at $6-8k/mo, desu.

I think it could improve the language they're using. As we're writing in English (not our native language), things tend to get repetitive if you're not good at it. Sure, a technical document needs to be accurate first and foremost, but inspecting a repetitive mess of poorly written text is pretty tedious, which might make you miss to detect errors.

As for reading in ones one field, you can get by surprisingly well without it (from a career PoV). But it's kind of tiresome watching people re-invent stuff just because they're clueless about what's going on outside of their own cubicle.

I'm a translator, so I guess it is the most lit job ITT, but it's technical translation obviously.

I don't even like literature, I just visit this board occasionally to enjoy yall rantings

I work weekends for the local council doing community alarms - when old or disabled people need help they speak to me over a system in their home and I arrange whatever help they need. Usually it’s a false alarm, needing personal care or fallen and not injured, but you need to be on the ball for occasional heart attacks, strokes, fires, burglaries etc. Pays around £14 an hour inc. unsocial pay.

Also a fourth year quantity surveying student.

I work part-time at my dad's lighting company since I'm socially unable to get a job on my own and it's comfy, but I also do some independent sound work for the national broadcast service, which pays very well for very little work.
In sum, I get the full minimum wage for working a total of about 15 hours a week, which works out very well for me since I despise working but don't have the balls or the heart to be a full NEET.
It also leaves me with time for my artistic pursuits and for being there for my gf

Holy fuck. Up until two weeks ago, I was an assistant manager at a call center (was hired under the presumption that I was to be a "digital ops manager" but when I arrived they said that position was no longer needed and if I wanted this job, moved cities for it and couldn't say no)

Manager really hated me from the outset because he was aloof and always had to talk, even about nothing, while I kept to myself and spoke when needed. He would complain about my "$20 words" that he didn't understand; one such was "melodic". He and another assitant manager began to exclude me from tasks and other things I was hired to do, such as interviews and follow-ups, even started a separate WhatsApp group that I was barred from. Eventually let me go two days before my benefits were supposed to kick in and claimed "it was a business decision"

Wellness consultant. Went into the job thinking I'd be able to make a genuine difference to the lives of wage-slaves, but it turns out I'm little more than a shill for big corporates who want to boost their PR. The more inauthentic and brown-nosing I am, the more successful I am in my career. Now I'm even more disenfranchised than the average wage-slave, truly the most miserable wellness consultant in the industry. Suffice to say I'll be resigning soon.

I’m in the coast guard

Have books that you read help you understand and help patients?

I feel that you can make much more money from this than from most hobbies. Can you not get sell things to florists or something? You can definitely make more money than I do from my gay hobby, music, and I make an okay bit from it.
Maybe you won't make "saving up for retirement" money, but I'm sure that you're still a young man, that sort of thing comes with time.

I would say that yes.
Its hard to tell tho since I am only few years into practice and I have been interested in indie and art films, literary fiction and later in philosophy since around age 15 so it definitely shaped me in a certain way

Meaning that I cant really say how different would it be if I had never read books that I have read

Just finished a masters. Probably going to do a PhD but I think I'm just going to work for a year or two inbetween. That said, I've not really started looking for anything yet, I'm still in recovery/summer mode. I've got some savings so I'm in no rush at the moment.

I actually thought about getting into IT for this very reason. Sick of working dead end jobs as my youth fades, and I'm looking for something I could do to support myself, but give me plenty of reading and writing time. Basically, I'm trying to dedicate myself to my artistic pursuits, but be realistic about it.

how do I get into that though? I've got the crying part covered

City Planner
I read during my lunch break

You do it from home? Or is it a 9 to 5 thing?

Well, yes. But that depends on how much you really care about your hobby. Our horticulture club/organisation whatever you call it, which I was a part of, before I quit, used to have an annual "Plant a tree" event for the kids. This event is attended by well known politicians, for PR, of course. Kids barely care for animals, so they care even less for plants. In the end we had around 400 dead saplings. Neither the Teacher nor our organisation cared to stop the children. All they wanted was a newspaper article written about them. You have a lot of customers who come back the very next month saying their plant had dead, just because they don't how to care for it and take it for granted. I would want to choose my customer carefully. So, I rather not make a complete business out of it.

Currently working as a bouncer on the weekends, but I'm in school studying to become an English teacher. Not gonna lie, life is pretty comfy at the moment. Currently reading "As You Like It" for one of my classes.

Middle manager in an internet streaming company

I work in the public sector at a large inner suburb of a big Midwest city. I like it but the bureaucracy, low IQ city employees and absolutely braindead public make it frustrating. I lucked into this job though, and I’ll stay for another year or two and reassess. Maybe I’ll go into the private sector or just to a better city

I don't think these guys who are actually managers, architects etc. genuinely realize what it's like to have nothing to live for.
At least you can rest assured with the knowledge that you're not actually retarded and that you can manage your life if you wanted to. Imagine not even having that certainty, being left at the mercy of your ADD slowbrain and seeing what shithole it drags you down next.

I never said I don't have anything to live for, just that I hate my job.
But I feel you, my friend. More and more social interaction becomes painful and unnatural to me, that's why I wanna go away, recharge, in a way.
Also my alcoholism is becoming quite severe.

Chemical engineer in manufacturing.

Moved for a diagonal promotion a year ago and my current position uses no time outside regular work hours, pays well and has promoted me already. I write and read often on the job, or use work time and resources to edit and prepare submissions to journals. I feel pretty good for the economy the current generation is in and for being outside the MFA system.

I'm DECENT, but the issue is that I'm a manlet
I am neither lmao

literal nerd.

It's fucking terrible. They pay a little more than other dead end jobs to keep you stuck there, but you'll never live a good life, never be anything more than a department manager (which means you'll always be a wage slave and eventually will hit a wage ceiling and be stuck making 16 an hour forever), do the same repetitive task over and over and have all your work culminate in some guy licking his finger after inspecting a piece of bread, then picking up another piece of bread with the same nasty, spitty hand. Which you either ignore, or take the loaf out and have that add to your shrink numbers.
It's the epitome of being an NPC, you're worthless.

Substitute teaching

Worst part is, I feel like i'm not even fit for that job. My fluid IQ is just horrendously low, I can't even manage a doctor's visit without getting overwhelmed a lot of the time.

I’m a locomotive engineer, which I suppose is heavy machinery

Is no one here even attempting to write a novel? I am not convinced by the idea that it is impossible to make a living writing novels. Especially if you do good marketing and mimic best sellers. Also, as people have more free time, readership is bound to increase.

electrician's apprentice. union. it's pretty legit, not gonna lie. most of my coworkers don't read though

I tried writing my first novel awhile ago, and it just kind of fell apart. Realized, I need to hone my craft a little better; might edit the pieces I have and use them for something else. I was originally a musician, but as I got more obsessed with lyricism, I become more apt to writing in itself and gravitated towards literature.
However, I'm at a dead end shit job and my life fell apart along with my novel, and now I'm on the verge of just starting everything over. I asked earlier in the thread if IT was a good career choice so I can make some money while trying to live dat art life.

Writing a novel isn't my primary literary goal, as I love poetry. Keeping a good day job still gives me plenty of time to study and write poetry, and I have a feeling (maybe incorrect) that writing a novel would take more time per day.

Paid PhD as of next month, my only issue is that I'll have to teach as well. I just wanted money to read books. Also worked in a call center during my entire time as a student (5 years). is absolutely right. You have 100+ conversations every day, you have to say the exact same things every time, really kills something in the inside. Not to mention the corporate bullshit and the various "challenges" to make people "like" this job

That's sad, user

I work in two libraries, if that counts.

It is what it is. If I were willing to play the system, I could probably make some small but meaningful changes and genuinely improve things. However, to do so, I'd need to be a shill for corporate interests and support things which I know are wrong. I guess it's similar to how it feels to be a politician.

Please tell me more. I am considering becoming one.

I take out loans. I'm just going to keep doing that until I die.

I joined the army and got fucked up. Now the gobbermen send me big money every month. Well, 3k usd. Not really "big money," but enough to afford a pretty comfy hiki life. I legally can't work though, which I guess kinda sucks. The VA was basically "We have decided you are unemployable, so if you gain employment... you're gonna go to jail for lying to us... even though we decided this." Not too sure what to do now though. Might try auditing some classes at the local uni in the spring or some shit, but I'm getting pretty stir crazy. Feels kinda weird being 26 and retired though.

I've had a dozen different jobs, and I can't say I would ever want to do any one of them again. Skilled office work turned into a nightmare quickly. I work receiving at a big store and I can agree that it quickly turns into a nightmare. The forced, patronizing, disingenuous social situations alone make me not want to live. But it never changes - I don't see much opportunity for "solitary" or minimal-interaction work.

>It's the epitome of being an NPC, you're worthless.
It's honest work, but I know exactly what you're saying.
The problem I see is the number of years a person with a career will still have to endure this same feeling which is merely disguised in lifestyle improvements.

Do you know how I know you are middle class?

In short a public sector planner is a middleman between developers/architects and the city and something of a community advocate. In reality I argue with property owners about what they can and can’t do, answer questions about zoning and shit, work with engineers and basically check their work against the requirements of the zoning ordinance, count parking spaces, do research and presentations on planning issues (like recreational marijuana) and zoning ordinance amendments, prep planning commission/city council meetings. I also work with other tangentially related city boards and commissions. I would try to job shadow or something somewhere if you are interested. Also the private sector is likely very different but I have no experience there. Good communication and public speaking skills are important.

I did but I have a meme undergrad degree. I can’t exactly say it’s necessary to get a masters but in my case it did help as I had no experience. I learned more a month or two on the job than I did at school, mostly because I mistakenly went to a school more focused on planning academics/research rather than actually on the job planning. If you look at schools you should look into that distinction. I had never even reviewed a site plan until I was on the job—it’s certainly not rocket science but in hindsight it’s puzzling I didn’t do that in grad school. My program focused a lot on theories of building and molding effective cities and advancing community equity when in reality I just translate the city bureaucracy to the normies and argue about fence height

I wouldn't read as much as I do if I already worked 8+ hours a day in a literature related job, just like I don't spend hours a day on autocad on top of my job, even though I like working with it.

You're now aware that academia is a pyramid scheme that shovels unqualified children into for-profit pits to sell them a credential that only validates them to continue the pyramid scheme in order to support, in this order, 1) the salaries of the administrative staff and the returns for investors 2) the research performed by universities, which is only this important because it brings more money to the school to achieve the first point and 3) far in last - across a gulf on the other side of a void - improving human knowledge.
The majority of your undergrad professors at the majority of schools are people who could not make use of their education outside of academia (read: untalented, incompetent hacks who probably went to academia in the first place because "you need a degree!"). There is little, if any, desire to strive for excellence, improve your academic character (and don't even think about improving your moral or ethical character), or search for new information or truth. This problem is present in STEM, but pervasive in the humanities, since children who were never taught the importance of education, who think school is that thing you have to do to make money, are scared of math and therefore the STEM fields. Every year, an ever larger number of people who don't fucking care are funneled into the humanities, where the least interested among them will filter themselves into the lowest-effort fields.

Do you think all the horrible opinions and non-scientific """"""research"""""" of late out of places like sociology, social psychology, or the various identity politics-based fields were some kind of purposeful subterfuge concocted by a shadowy fifth column? I can assure you that our intellectual and social downfall is infinitely more banal and mundane than anything like that. The reality is that people aren't fucking interested in caring or committing effort to thinking, and that's why you have a philosophy professor who spouts memes and links to web comics.

user, September 2019

I get a small amount of student welfare and then I got a bunch of student loan to live off of. Studying CS/IT whatever ou non-whites call it, hopefully gonna get a well paying programming job for mr. Shekelberg's company in the near future.

i work in the actuarial field. i’m almost a credentialed actuary at 25, which basically means i’ll be guaranteed employment for life. and i can make really good money. insurance is mind-numbingly boring and i want to kill myself more than ever. my coworkers are super nice and well-adjusted people... naturally i feel hopelessly out of place

lmao all you actuaries are completely soulless

I am a laboratory technician and student. I'm paid very well for a student worker and keep getting scholarships for my research while on the job.
It's generally pretty boring but the periods of field work are interesting.

If you want to get published you've get to eat a lot of ass.

I’m in law school. I still sell shit on eBay when i can. Other random side ventures. I just wanted an income to support myself and my wife while i work on music and literature side projects.

Well, isn't that a cheeky cunt.

let me guess, you are from South East Asia?

my girlfriend worships me

Not boring, I'm good at it, it pays a lot, and there's plenty of free alcohol. I like most of the people I work with too. That being said, it's a lot of work and can be very stressful, and it's not super emotionally satisfying unless it's when I win something.

I’m the user you initially replied to. I’m not worried about anything you posted.

how about them maps

u like kids or teenagers? they are bad in their own ways.'
idk about uni, maybe u have other stuff to work on then

I work transient labor jobs in between studying, I'm eligible for state assistance but I'm too proud to take it. Everyone I know thinks I'm a sucker and they're probably right

how do i get my boss to be more organised at work

damn you sound badass, hopefully at your next routine traffic stop some unassuming mexican woman shoots you in the neck and you bleed to death

aren't Seals a recruiting meme now?

The way I figure it as long as im learning shit I'll enjoy it.

I'd say the odds are low, and I'm pretty attentive. Sorry to disappoint.

They actually are having difficulty recruiting because they won't drop standard. Plus its an extra 6-9 months of free training since they want to make sure you won't fail because of something dumb.

get a fucking grip, you'd last about a week without cops

I'm an English teacher and editor. My poetry makes me precious little, so I have to keep a day job.

I'm a journalist.

Me too bro. It's ok.

What kind of law are you working on, user?

I'm planning on doing law to do criminal prosecution-- you don't suppose you could tell me a little about how one can survive studying in and paying for law school?

you should stop doing that!

neet

I'm a graduate student but work as a contracted writer for a law firm. I don't make tons of money, but I earn more than enough to pay my bills and spend my vacations abroad.

It's a dangerous path. Reconsider man. Studied history for 4 years and damn boi, it's rough

lmao looks like someone failed freshman year
see, the problem with people who aren't in stem is that they cannot possibly conceive of how liberating it is to have any practical skill in a discipline that can be employed for a purpose. keep doing what you do, m8

TBQH I have a lot of friends with humanities and social sciences degrees who are doing perfectly well. As long as you're modestly talented and are willing to do a PhD, it's not the worst track.

Problem is that a lot of people think they can get a job in a relevant field with just a bachelor's. If you're an aspiring anthropologist, psychologist or historian, your undergrad years lay down an important foundation--but it's just that. Undergraduate-level education, in those sorts of fields, is too broad to be applied in any worthwhile professional context.

Making money and having a fulfilling career requires both the determination to pursue and complete a graduate education, alongside the talent to get into a decent program. Given how competitive academia can be in certain quarters, there's no use getting a history PhD from Backwoods State University when prospective employers almost always hire from the next level up.

maybe u should try joining the human race, swine

with who?

I hope you get shot pig :)

I am but a lowly custodian.

at least you have quads, user

I'm a garbageman publishing short storiesfor no payment. 21 btw.

I work in editing for a corporation.

You are not writing Shakespeare, user.
You are just telling some moron to reboot something, reset something, or some other trivial technoid detail that they can't comprehend.
In general, the American public are a bunch of idiots, with the comprehension abilities of a rutabaga.
Your coaches are right. You must explain things in the most simplest of terms, the lowest common denominator.
The average American reads at a 7th ot 8th grade level. That means 50% do less than that.
That's your market, your client base, you customer.

Apply for SSDI too. You can qualify for both. You'll have at least $1200 extra a month. If you were an officer, you'll probably get $2000 more a month. $5k/month isn't bad.

Living costs vary so much in the world, and they're pretty high in most of the US.

>I legally can't work though
Not a lawyer, but there's probably ways around this. Like maybe you cannot be employed, but there are ways to make money without being employed.

merchant marine masterrace, coming through. How come it takes twenty of you guys to catch one line?

I'm supposed to be an archivist but I'm a welder-tinsmith

Wanted to major in English to become a writer but family shamed me into focusing on a degree in CompSci because I'm good at math. Get a job working for well known tech company and fucking hate it. 12 hour workdays and no time on the weekend. Quit job to do easy logistical shit at an international importer. Make about 3/4 what did I few years ago but at least I don't have to work 12 hours a day anymore. Gives me much more time to work on my manuscript during the week.

get it together, user. don't do it for anyone else but yourself.
fuck your family, do what you want. on the flipside though, at least you have a marketable degree. now that you do, do whatever.

I do litigation. Are you planning on doing state or federal criminal prosecution? If the former, the pay is bad, so you'd better go to a school with a good loan forgiveness program or get enough in scholarships that your debt load is low. If the former, it's generally super competitive so you better go to a top school, though I'm sure there are mid-tier schools with good connections to specific US Attorneys' Offices that may be the exception. You survive studying by treating it like at least a 9-5 job, you should be working 8 hours a day even on days when you only have 3-4 hours of class, and then when finals get close you start working 60 hour weeks. As to paying for it, well, if you've worked before starting then you can cover some of it that way, good schools have loan forgiveness, and if you do well at a good school you can go to a large law firm for a few years to pay off your debt before doing something else. But if you end the first year with below average grades at anything but a T3 or T6 school, strongly consider dropping out. Don't throw good money after bad.

I write and edit publications for a large governmental agency.

I live at home and work in a cafe while at uni

Why is the question always "what do you do for a living?". We surely do a lot more things that kill us in our quotidian existence, than anything evoking the vital an efflorescent. So wouldn't a more acculeate question be phrased, "Well, what do you for a dying"? No, not even just "A dying" but dying in general. And then you'd say in response, oh I sleep about 9 hours out of every day or I smoke crack or I study philosophy. Yes, that would make a great deal more sense.
