>>36755950
Follow your dreams and don't stop working out.
I wake up at 5am before everyone. Eat 3 bananas while I'm driving too the gym. Do a few minutes of cardio to wake up. Lift for 45 minutes, and get home before 7 just when everyone is waking up.
I get home and my wife always has my post workout meal cook (fruti smoothie with kale, eggs with spinach, toast, hashbrowns) then I shower, help get the kids ready, and then I'm off to work. My wife makes the kids breakfest and takes them to school.
I start work at 8:30 and get home at 4:30. I hangout with the kids and wifey for 2 hours, then I take them to their Jiu Jitsu class at 6, then me and my wife have our own Jiu Jitsu class at 7, and the Jiu Jitsu gym has a mini little kids section with a t.v where the kiddies can hangout while we go at it.
Then we all go home at 9, eat a little something, we all have a snuggle on the couch and watch an episode of pup patrol. Then send the kids to bed, and me and my wife usually fuck like animals, then go to sleep. And do it all over again
Expect on the weekends. On the weekends I don't workout or do BJJ, so we're completely free for 2 days.
Life is good.

Nice job
manager & part owner manufacturing business
We run several sub-businesses out of one large building. I oversee most of the day-to-day floor operations & interface with the front side of the company. There's always something odd that comes in or goes out that has to be moved by hand like new equipment.
As for family, 2 kids. Wife 1 ran off less than a year after our daughter's birth. Wife 2 died after a car accident shortly after the birth of our daughter. Oldest is turning 6 soon. I do cardio/yoga/bodyweight in the morning before they get up. After I put them to bed I do the heavy stuff. 6 day workweek @ 10-12 hrs/day. I'm the only guy picking up kids at the daycare/afterschool/whatnot. Without that shit I'd be unemployed.
>>36753660
>How does /fit/ make money to pick up heavy things and put them down again?
I have a small business of my own.
>Also to the men with families here, how do you fit work and kids around lifting?
I lift when I get home or somedays right before bed when kids are sleeping (homegym mustard race)

You have made it my friend, and just convinced a fellow anon to put the phone down and get off the couch.
Studying environmental public health right now, don't know what I want to do exactly but most entry level private sector jobs start 60-70k a year with good benefits. might go straight from undergrad to a masters program (Lots of federal subsidies so it's bretty cheap) and if did that I could probably look at a starting salary of around 100k, which would be cool.
Lift and run 3-4 times a week usually in between or after classes;

Markek-ting Intern right now. its pretty gay. I workout at a small private gym owned by a ski coach, he is away for the next 3 weeks so i'm training the 4 and 5pm classes. never had such a good time working. think this is what i want to do with my life, i realized today (after having thought about it for a few months).
i was contracting so could go whenever. i just got a 9.00-5.00 and starting to run into troubles. only able to go 3 times a week now. going in the evening isnt the hard part (although i do have to skip some days for social shit), its the fact that the gym is absolutely filled to the brim with school kids. the only thing consistently free is the deadlift mats. everything else has 3 kids camping it for 45 minutes. and i dont know where the fuck the dumbbells go.
someone did start a petition to limit school kids until 9.00pm (which is when staffing hours finish) but although it got tons of support it never did go through
Just got into construction , I make 18.91 an hour helps me gain muscle n lose weight for free , and every other 2-3 days I lift weights after work. I want to save up and go back to school but I have no idea what career to follow.... I'm 25 btw , hopeless ?

My job IS to pick up heavy things and put them down again
Working at a food storage, carry around heavy boxes and drive them out on my minitruck
It's easy as hell, you can just chill with your earbuds while carrying boxes around
Fucking great pay, too, best job I ever had
I work in real estate. Easy job, I book my last appointments at around 4, if I sell I'm there until around 6:30 if not I'm done around 4:30. I spend the majority of time driving and eating protein bars and I hit the gym 4x a week (twice in week and on weekends). I don't have a gf, we recently split up.

I'm a freelance translator for a foreign company. The pay is shit, even less than German unemployment benefits. But at least I can sleep in, work whenever I want and of course I'm not getting tortured by German officials.
I've been on the dole before, it's horrible if you're not a muslim. You get treated like absolute shit.
>>36762370
they have a saying in my language, it translates to the tea that is worked for tastes best. Dont be a dole bludger, you might be able to live off it but its not living. Dont be envious of those who take free money without a care in the world. It is enraging but dont fall to such a level friend.

I'm not him, I use to work as EMT... use to being the key word.
1. Lots training/ education for shit pay, paramedic is expensive as fuck.
2. Long work hours, back breaking work... a lot of your job is seeing shit, and picking up heavy ass pieces of shit (fat people)
3. Just dealing with people, disgruntled Nurses/Doctors/ LVNs/Patients, who think you are incompetent.
4. Hard to move up, at least for a lot of people in big cities. I worked in Los Angeles County, over saturated system, Fire Depts still do the friends and family hook up.
>>36762387
Well, I'm not on the dole anymore. So that's that. It's still a shitty job.
>Dont be a dole bludger, you might be able to live off it but its not living.
Heh. That's only true if you're an ethnic German here. I'm pretty mad about it, but hey, what can you do?
Tech support 1st line for most major oil companies Shell, BP etc.
Pay is shitty for the hours which change every week but there's plenty of opportunities to gain qualifications within the company.
Gym 3 x a week, Bretty okay as I live right beside it.
>>36757273
You sick fuck
I'm an army nurse, I plan my days in advance according to the shift I'm working. The shitty hours can be a drag but on the other hand my days off are usually during the week so I can workout when the gym is nice and quiet.

Personal Trainer
I work 12 hours most days, half training people the other half doing shift work at the gym and planning sessions. I love my job. You do get tired of the place being there 70 hours a week but luckily I work with good friends and the manager is a really nice woman.
I'm pretty lucky because I'm tight with the owner so my rent it pretty low, but word of advice- unless you are specializing in something don't bother. Most chain gyms charge £600+ a month to personal train their clients (that you have to source) and even then you're competing with 10 other trainers on a floor at a time.

Timeshare salesman.
Try to lift in the mornings before work. If that fails, do it when I get home. I built a decent little home gym in my downstairs, so it's not that big of an obligation.
Only thing I have to watch out for is passing out when I change out of my suit. Job is mentally exhausting and I have a tendency to fall asleep if I lie down or sit in a quiet room for five minutes after work.

Certified nurse assistant. Picking up or turning residents of 150-300lbs. I'm considered valuable v as I'm not only an orderly (male CNA) but cause I'm relatively stronk and not afraid to run back and forth. Actually working in the environment had been great for gains and overall fitness

Yeah, respect man but fuck that.
I run a small fishing business, mostly processing and trading. Hours are... Flexible, to say the least. I've been considering moving my home gym to one of the free offices here so I can train when I got the time for it.

Nah dude, you're fine. It's normal for people not to know what they want to do in life.

By now I should know what I want to do, but I got nothing.
That's why I enjoy these types of threads. Hope I see something I never heard of and get attached.

Not him but it's basically a contracting hacker and/or B&E artist. MY mate did it for a while.
Companies come to you wanting you to check their physical and network security. So the pen tester tries to access externally then later on they'll go on site and say they're an IT guy doing diagnostics and see how far they can get with no one having notified the company and then hack their system onsite via a netbook they brought.
My mate even did some fence -hopping shenanigans. Honestly it sounded awesome as fuck.
