What do you do?

[Pete]

Simple question. What do you all do for a living?

You can be as vague or specific as need be. I'm just curious.

I work part time (three days a week) in the nursery hut of a hardware store. Mainly lifting bags of compost and pavers for the elderly and the lazy. It's alright most of the days, I'm given free reign to put out pallets of stock in the mornings. It's great when we're busy cos I'm lifting a ton of crap and can keep moving around, when we're quiet it can get hella dull especially when I'm doing 10 hours on Saturday's.

Should be finished with my study in a couple months so I'm looking forward to a real job

[Pete]

What kind of job are you looking for after graduation?

I did similar work at one point, but for a major package company. Lots of unloading trucks so the packages could be processed and sent to other distribution centers

[Alpha]

Somehow I ended up writing software.

I have two jobs. The first is working for a newspaper as their carrier (aka paperboy). Been at that for ten years, and seven months. I would quit, but then the business would never find a replacement, because the pay ($105 per week) is pretty bad.

The second is as an HVAC Technician at GE Aviation. I keep the engineers cool, or warm, depending on the day. It's nice, because I get to be near the engines, but don't have to actually touch them. Plus, I just received a $1 raise this week (now $11 per hour!). The only drawback is that although I have been doing this for three years now (16 months at GE Aviation), I still can't actually do anything by myself. My boss is working on getting me clearance to not be required to have an escort to every place I go on the grounds. And I mean EVERY place (It says on my badge "Must be escorted at all times to and from buildings, cafeterias, bathrooms, offices, and on shop floors").

And technically, being a student is a job as well, and I am a full-time student at the community college. Working on getting my mathematics degree at the moment.

I go to work, I smoke weed, talk to Che and drink.

Like talking to me is a job? Wow.

I've done graphic design (which is what my degree is in), creating websites, some editing for photographers, before that mowing grass. Yo my mowing lines are insane, looks like a sports pitch when I'm done. I'm trying to break into IT hard without doing the shittiest jobs ever atm. Realizing its hard to skip those jobs.

[Taco-Calamitous]

Like talking to me is a job? Wow.

If the shoe fits, che.

I am currently living off the GI Bill and the good will of my parents. Been looking for part time work, none has been forthcoming as of late. So mostly I just go to school. My majors are Political Science and Education, with minors in Writing and History. After I get all that done, I'll start the student teacher thing, and hopefully my GI Bill won't run out before that's done.

Edit: Oh yeah, I also did this. I might do more of these. We'll see. Also, my book is on Amazon, both as an eBook and a paperback, so that's cool.

[Xanatos]

I am QA Tester/Researcher in an IT firm that does both, its own software & hardware. Due to my background I work closely with smart home devices. It's actually pretty neat, I get to play with technology I never thought I would see, let alone have access to.

[Meier Link]

I work in aviation as a sheet metal mechanic. I also am co owner in another aviation based buisness but am more of a silent partner that gets to go to annual budget meetings.

Also I play drums. Given I have spent more money then I will ever make back doing it but it is something I find passion in and enjoy doing amd every penny helps lol.

[OceanEyes28]

Currently, I'm in grad school. I'm about halfway through my Masters in Social Work, and it involves an internship each year. This year, I have been interning at a homeless day resource center, assessing clients and connecting them to resources and housing. I have learned a lot about the population and the local shelters. I have started applying for next year, and hope to intern in one of the local hospitals.

I hope to make money after I graduate. I'm not sure what I'll be doing, but I expect to do direct practice with clients. Eventually, a private practice would be neat (once I feel I have the experience).

I make some money on the side doing gigs, when I can. If you want to check out what we just finished: rowdy faith | A Rowdy Faith

If you don't know you can't read.

[Pete]

I basically make sure buildings don't fall down. It's a lot of verifying that what happens on the job site is what the plans and drawings show. Depending on the day and my mood, I get to be both good and bad cop. Sometimes both at the same time. I also enjoy playing dumb, letting a contractor lie to my face, then making them redo everything. They learn pretty quickly

[Polk]

I manage the website and social media presence for a furniture retailer.

Oh, and I give blowjobs for money on the boardwalk.

[Rocky]

RN-BSN also taking some classes on the side, wanting to get my PharmD. Still work with a few families that have children with special needs.

I wake up early to work out, then work a full day as well as manage a course load, then work my part time job most nights as well. By the time I get home all I wanna do is be anti social and play videogames, some things don't change lol.

[Azuteor]

I work in IT at a hospital supporting its clinical and business applications, providing application access as appropriate to the end user's role, monthly auditing to make sure that the employees are not violating HIPAA, and various others tasks from telling someone to reboot their computer to fixing an interface that's not flowing patient vitals to the electronic health record system.

I work full-time, work out 3-6x a week, do homework, and try not to lose my mind!

[Heartless Angel]

Testing business software. So basically, I hang out at a desk all day thinking of new and creative ways to try to screw something up in our systems to make sure they're sufficiently idiotproof.

[Dawezy]

Work nights, sleep days, go about pc/console shenanigans inbetween.

Coming up to my 10 year anniversary at Woolworths, like an Auzzie version of Walmart I suppose but more grocery focused.

[Clint]

I pretend to be the IRS and scam people out of their money.

[Unknown Entity]

I uh. Lost my job. Unfairly, mind you. I made a mistake that gave them a "get out of jail free card" during budget cut season and well, here we are. Some assholes I thought were my friends were involved too, but fuck them. They'll get theirs.

Just started a new job. I do customer service for an environmental services company with a heavy focus on recycling. It pays WAY more than my last job. As much as I loved working in a game shop, it paid peanuts for running your own ass into the ground. Now, I'm with a secure company, in a secure position, better benefits, better progressions and I earn more.

[Ryu-Kentoshii Hirokima]

I had a job a while back...sadly that didn't last long, and have been stuck at home taking care of my Grandma ever since. I stream randomly on Twitch every once in a while, and sometimes I get lucky and make a little money off of that. I tend to just play my video games, talk to my friends, eat, drink, go to sleep, rinse & repeat. I'm lucky if I get to leave the house to go do stuff with others. Hoping to turn my life around soon.

[Spooniest]

I should do a new YouTube video of video game music of my choice

Clearly at this point I consider myself unafraid to try anything
