Courtesy Clerk at a Tom Thumb. I used to be a both, but primarily a cashier before my Albertsons store closed, and they've essentially demoted me with the same rate of pay. It's amazing how ineffecient and annoying they are.

>have to punch in floor sweeps twice an hour, then physically write them down on a sheet
>there is no turn table on registers, so they just come straight at you on a conveyor belt and start bunching up and falling down
>last store had a button you'd press with your hip to move the turn table as did cashiers
>now you have to dig behind the tray of bags for a switch to flip on and off
>the tray of bags is facing the same direction the conveyor belt moves groceries instead of inward towards the bagger
>bags are amazingly thin and tear on edges
>not to mention at Albertsons, the cashier had a bag tray right next to the scanner so cashiers bagging was easy, but at this store, it's way off to the side, meaning you have to walk over and bag your own groceries, meaning most cashiers give me EVERYTHING to bag on this itty bitty conveyor belt
>have to inspect restrooms every hour
>have to keep the lot perpetually clean of carts or they grill into me
>the lot is downhill, so you can't push a lot of carts at once otherwise they fall from the chain
>entire work environment is anti-social and tense

Some of my favorite parts
>if you close, you have to 'condition' all the frozen aisles, meaning bring them all to the front and make them neat, otherwise they grill into you
>Albertsons had a night crew do all this
>they never stand up and fall on you or the ground while your hand gets brutally frozen
>lunch breaks are never as scheduled and are just whenever
>even if the lunch is listed as 1hr, you only ever get 30 minutes

work in a hotel. caribbean hotel workers generally fucking blow, and there are really strong government protections that make it so they don't work hard and they are impossible to fire. if you're local and even remotely hard working / smart, you'll get promoted up through the ranks, as every caribbean government has local worker quotas and there are very few native-caribbean workers who ever qualify for management positions, making the ones that do like fucking gold.

Hospice social worker. I enjoy my clients and actually feel like I'm doing some good in the world.

Make 46.5K a year, about to wrap up my first year of the job right out of college. My coworkers are great, my caseload is fluctuates and I rotate between being busy on insanity levels to having literally fuck-all to do.

I'll do this for a few years, 2% salary increase each year, 3% 401K match, good benifits (thought not vision or dental). It's a small organization so my room for growth is very limited, I'll probably ride it for a few years (maybe....5?) before looking for another org. I'm on the student loan forgiveness program so in roughly 9.5 years my student loans will be paid off completely.

Endgame is some sort of supervisiory role in the VA or VA facility/clinic. I'll make 6 figures and quite literally sit in my office and masterbate. The VA is infamous among social work as a place that pays unbelievably well and never fires anyone. It's common knowledge that you have to be caught committing outright fraud to be fired, sometimes not even. And no, the shake up from a few years back didn't change anything.

Also, I'm a male in a field that is 90% women. So I'm a fucking unicorn that is considered 'diverse' when hiring.

I owe roughly $65,000 in student loans due to 6 years of school (bs of psych, masters of social work). Using the PSLF (Public Service Loan Forgivenes) program, as long as I work full time in a non-profit then I pay my loans on an income based repayment plan. After 10 years of consecutive on time payments the remaining balance on my student loans will be forgiven.

To illustrate, my current loan payments are $168.50 per month, if I were on the normal 10 year full repayment schedule, my monthly payment would be closer to about $800.00 a month.

Air National Guard
But I have a full-time job with the Guard
I enlisted as a 3D132 (Cyber Transport - basically network infrastructure maint), but applied for a job in IT Plans and Programs. I had no idea what it was.

Now, I'm the base IT ECO (Equipment Control) managing an inventory of over 4000 IT assets. Each unit has an IT Inventory manager who is accountable for their particular units' assets. I have to maintain the online inventory system, add new assets, move assets between units, force unit IT managers to conduct an annual inventory, provide them with training, etc. I also have to make sure all assets are replaced when they go out of warranty. This year, for example, we ran a report and determined that among other things, we had 100 monitors going out of warranty within the year, and 300 already out (The previous ECO was a shiteater who did nothing, that's why). I put through a requirement document and we got 400 monitors from NGB, and I immediately starting going through the base, unit by unit, replacing all of the expired monitors. We have to send old equipment to DRMO, and that involves a lot of paperwork and taking the equipment over to Supply and helping them palletize it. DRMO is basically the government's recycling clusterfuck, and they apparently put some reusable stuff out to schools and law enforcement agencies and other places where old monitors and computers might be useful. Each monitor I replace requires me to click 6 times in an inventory system, input the two serial numbers, generate a label and fill out two pieces of paperwork, and actually move the damn monitor. In my first year, I replaced 400 monitors, about 90 desktops, 20 printers, and around 200 laptops.

Now, the "fun" part of my job: IT Planning and Requirements and project management. WE have a whole bunch of paperwork and computer systems whose sold purpose is requesting money from the Pentagon, from NGB, or from the state, for IT projects or orders.

(Continued)
So, say our commander in Comm decides he wants to see if we can get money to replace all of our network switches on base, along with their UPSes (he did, and this example is real)... I have him fill out a form I made asking him to describe the shortfall, what the suggested solution was, if there was a deadline or timeframe the requirement needs to be filled in, and how mission-critical the requirement is. I have to turn around and fill out a bunch of forms on a site NGB set up, and I'll usually translate anything that's unclear when filling it out. I'll go ahead and get quotes for everything in the requirement (in this case, I had our network guys give me quotes for exactly what would work for them)
I then put in the prices, upload the quotes, and wait for funding to be released.

Then I'm the project manager - not the project lead. I just have to sit in on boring conference calls and schedule dates for contractors to come out at this point, make sure the money is in our unit checkbook when they charge us, and I have to schedule our QA guys to sign off on the project before I mark it as "complete" and it falls off the face of the earth and everyone wonders where all of the guard's money went.


Anyways, for all of this, I make about $45,000/year no matter whether I literally shit my pants at work and continue watching youtube videos at my desk (like the guy before me did), or whether I bust my balls and fix that guy's fuckups.

I really need a change.

Government data entry for 10 bucks an hour.

I'm already ahead of my coworkers because I just work with my headphones in listening to music or podcasts and don't have loud conversations gossiping about other people in the office that cause drama and bother the engineers and other real employees with the noise.

I can pull a Ben Hamper and meet my hourly quota ahead of time by cranking down and processing all the files I need to do for the day with hours to spare, then do the 10 minute drive home and do whatever I want there while still clocked in. Then I'll drive back after an hour or two and work for a little while before clocking out for the day.

I get my work done and I'm not a dumb loud redneck Bubba/Krystal or a dumb loud ghetto Tyrone/Shaniqua who can't use their inside voices and literally talk about crimes they've commited and about pussy as vulgarly as possible loudly enough for a dozen people to hear them or loudly talking shit about their coworkers or having retarded religious discussions about how stupid Catholicism and every other religion or lack therof is compared to the Southern Baptist church that a clique of them belong to.

Going to finish this apprenticeship in August, then possibly start a millwright apprenticeship as I will get a year credit towards millwright, i.e. start at 2nd year.

Unfortunately Alberta is shit as far as machining goes. Don't have much choice.

The issue with being self employed in the machining industry is that it's very expensive to buy machines and a shop, etc.

Legal intern, unpaid, 24. Studying the patent bar exam. It's kind of a shit situation; I'm not a very good student, so I couldn't get one of the few paid internships, but putting this one on my resume will fix that, especially if I can be a patent examiner.

So for right now I'm less than a wageslave, I do it for free. Luckily I have savings from working as an engineer before so I don't have any debt and will be able to pay for school entirely.

I have a question that doesn't deserve its own thread and I feel like this would be the place to ask.

Yesterday I was working my cashier wageslave job and I struck up a conversation with a lady that asked me a chain of seemingly unrelated random questions. Evidently something about our conversation impressed her about my "customer-service" abilities and she revealed herself to be an interview manager at a place that "trains branch managers" if I remember right. She wrote down her information on a piece of receipt paper (pic related) and told me she would call me back in what is now between 7 to 12 hours.

Is this going to be a full-blown phone interview? What should I even expect?

How did you plan on selling alishit? eBay, Craigslist?

>>
>>1261257
I've been reading a few success stories, how to's and sellers guides. Mostly bullshit, but useful to learn how to avoid starter pitfalls.

My plan for starting out was to use Facebook local selling groups to push items I buy cheap and make decent profit from, like cheap power banks, usb accessories & household decorations. If I can keep a small amount of that profit in a separate account and use it to but in a decent stock, labels, packaging... Then I'd move into the eBay/Amazon space. Probably buy a promotion slot for fast sellers based on current selling ranks on the site I choose.

Doubt I'll ever get to that stage though. The Facebook pages I am targeting are full of housewives with too much time and disposable income to care what crap they are buying. So I might just stick to that, if all goes well.

My only concern is having to register with HMRC to declare that income. I know they'd be all over my shit because Facebook is such an open platform that they can see all my sales if they feel like investigating me.

That's probably the sentiment of a lot of people around 4chan. This place unmasks a lot of the mystery of life.

Who can get excited about women when you go look at some Chad plays Tinder thread and see how the hot women are jumping for his cock while he talks to them like fuckpigs from the first interaction.
