Is your job /fa/?
Does it provide you enough money to buy sick fits?
>assistant to a talent agent in Hollywood
>no to both
I make glasses it's tiiiiiiiiiight
I can't really dress effay
>>11269495
Make me some sikk frames brah.
I'm a server for a contemporary art hotel's restaurant. Despite the company being cool my job is shite.
Wageslave retail, but it's in an upscale "fashion park" with stores like Saks, Coach, BCBG, Brooks Brothers, Tiffany's, etc. Good money to buy nicer dadcore fits. Probably the most effay place within a 50 mile radius.
at university, working at an independent bookshop this summer which should be fine
the other retail jobs i had in my teens were all pretty chill and pleasant so i'm hoping to continue the streak, i've never really had a job i hated
Making a pretty decent salary in the world of politics, but no sense of style so look like shit anyway
>just visiting this board
I'm a psychiatrist specialized on murder. Pretty fa in the way absolute most people avoid me when they find out because they assume I am a sick fuck.
They're not completely wrong.
>>11269966
How did you get into it? Tbh I can't imagine anyone wanting to specialise in something like that unless they are a sick fuck
In uni, summer job as a janitor/school mover. Pay is unreal and when I go to elementary schools its basically good will hunting. But not too effay
>>11269973
Did an internship out of morbid curiousity while I was still in med school and realized I had a certain talent for getting murderers to talk to me while I was shit at mostly anything else.
We are all slightly narcissistic so I chose to do something I was good at to feel better about myself.
I'm an EMT while I study for MCAT. How /fa/ am I?
>>11269491
Studying engineering.
My student job is to drive lease cars from a to b. Often have to drive Audi's, BMW, Lexus etc.
One of the requirements is that you look /fa/.
So it's /fa/ and it pays good. After the degree I don't expect my new jobs will give different answers
>>11269892
What do you do in politics?
Knowing your English cut from your Italian cut is probably a good thing to know if you wear a suit to work anon.
>>11269966
That's fucking awesome. Sounds super interesting and you must make good cash. I'm considering getting a PhD or PsyD and becoming a shrink...any tips/advice?
As a professor once said to my class, "You can't be a psychologist unless you are fucked up"
I tie knots in ropes and climb and abseil around oil rigs sky scrapers bridges and cliffs fixing things.
I love my job. Its rough and lively. Great money but I dress in bright orange gear. I wear filson jackets and Pendleton shirts and palladium boots when I am not on a rig
>>11269491
I'm a computer hacker, which I guess is why I spent time on 4chins.
I have plenty of money. Made close to 200k last year and slacked off most of it.
>>11270024
That sounds pretty cool, my dude. How'd you manage to land that?
>>11270024
Are you an UberBlack driver?
Studying electrical engineering. Not very /fa/ but can make money for sure and it's pretty fun.
nurse
money is good but it's not /fa/ at all
>>11269491
I work in food processing
its not fashionable and it doesn't pay
but at least now I know to never ever eat peas no matter what
>>11271886
I knew a guy in high school who worked at a water treatment facility he said he'd never drink tap water again after seeing the sludge that ends up getting processed
>>11271891
you fucking jew, its so obvious youre trying to trick goyims into drinking bottled water
Commission based salesman alpha male. It's great because I don't have to be customer service minded, if a faggot doesn't show interest my product, I can tell them to fuck off and if I get removed from the retail location because of it, there's plenty more who want the company's top seller.
Also if I need more money I just sell harder, if I'm hungover I can kick it, let one of the tier-two Pakis sweat it out, and I'll still end up with top sales on the board. Even my manager is a university grad cuck, he does what my high school dropout ass tells him to. I could manage but that's too much like an actual job for my liking.
No matter how the job market changes, dominant aggressive Alphas will always come out on top. Only the strong survive.
>>11271907
you'll think about this marketing ploy until the day you die
>>11271886
What's up with peas senpai
>>11271886
Peas?
>>11272022
im pretty sure there's frequent qc to ensure that everything is within fda guidelines for food processors
>>11271911
lol
>i make 10% for myself and 90% for my boss
keep telling yourself that you're alpha
>>11272026
these things are either approved or not necessarily "recognized" by the FDA
if that makes sense
which it doesnt
>>11269491
Actually I might have the most /fa/ related job here. Even though my Mandarin is shit I am tasked with helping out our supply chain management fulfill their order of clothing from Chinese manufacturers.
>>11272032
you're on an anonymous board nobody can identify you, man
honestly if the fda thought something was dangerous they'd test for it
>>11269491
Lifeguard being bored watching people do whatever then teaching shitty kids for a few hours. Pay is great as a uni student. Also bartend in a resturaunt here and there for extra money.
Is it fa? Nah.
Can I make sikk cops from it? Hell yeah
>>11269491
Blue-chip social media marketer here. Do social media advertising for some big international clients.
Dress code is pretty laid back. No goofninja shit but I wear Geos to work most days unless I'm meeting with clients.
Pay is more than you would think.
>>11272052
its kind of a big deal bud
and we all know 4chan isn't truly anonymous
>>11269491
Published author with a trust fund to boot.
Writing is isolating and hard but the image is very fashionable.
I can afford to dress well but it's a slow process to learn because joy parents are huge dorks who didn't know squat about style to guide me as a child.
>>11271911
You sound like you are over compensating. Perhaps you should think about being a kinder and happier person rather than obsessed with money and being alpha.
I'm just out of school. Going to try and get a funded MFA, maybe PhD. Teach poetry, write books. Not the most practical but I enjoy teaching and mentoring poets. Right now I work at a deli, not the most /fa/ place, but my boss likes fashion so that's cool. I can afford to work 3 days a week so I am planning, reading and writing a lot.
I work for a race car fabrication and setup shop, mostly as the office guy but I get my hands dirty from time to time.
The job itself is very un-/fa/, but it pays decently well.
I french polish antiques. Pays alot
Im a merchant mariner. 3 months out at sea, 3 months home. The pay is great and i have a lot of free time. Not sure if /fa/ tho.
>>11271911
>greedybusinessman.jpg
Busser.
Kill me.
Anyone Silicon Valley? Btw does anyone know what Bateman does for a living?
I'm an insurance broker.
It's not that /fa/ of a job, but I'm either working from home and wearing whatever I want, or wearing some nice suiting so I guess that's fine
I also make my own schedule which is quite awesome and liberating
>>11272641
I misread this and imagined a dude making out with an old table from Poland.
>>11271866
Nice, I'm starting electrical engineering this fall
I work at a news wire media agency. Pays meh, lots of /fa/ people but i'm not one of them.
I work in filing at a university library
>no
>fuck no
>>11271620
Depends on what country you live in. Being a shrink in Germany is the high life. In the US not so much as far as I have heard.
Personally I can recommend it. Especially since there are so many areas you can cover. If you realize depressed people aren't for you, you can instead spezialize on drug abusers/schizos/rich burned out people/ anorexics/forensics/jail etc.
You can always find a niche that fits you.
I work in a machine shop at $21/hr and weld on the weekends for a lot more.
>>11269491
i work at usps it fucking blows but at least i don't have to talk or interact with customers and can work by myself
pay is decent overtime pay is great
bought a lot of clothes now im saving up to move out
landscape labor worker until my music shit takes off which i think it will in less than 2 years
Brain surgeron here, the pay's nice i guess
>>11269491
This pic is depressing me. Time to quit I guess.
I study law and work part time in a Path Lab, I can't dress very /fa whilst I'm here but it gives me enough money to buy whatever I want. Hopefully I can get a job / internship in law soon-ish
>>11272699
Lawyer in dc
I work in a chinese restaurant. It opened 6 months ago but we get very little customers so idk how much longer it will last.
I wear a black button up and black slacks but idk if you could call that /fa/
I only make 5 an hour and tips are supposed to pay for the rest of my wage but since we have no customers I'm making under minimum wage
>>11273659
id find another job, i work at a laundromat for 10 an hour for 4 hours a day, pretty easy money for a part time job
>>11273659
>5 an hour
holy shit. get a different job
I work part-time as a Barista for a big coffee chain in the UK. Make about £7.80 and hour so could be worse, work about 16-20 hours a week as I'm a student
Being student while doing a bit IT-support in an insurance. Worked in a white collar job(not IT) at an insurance before becoming a student(such is life in Germany, you don't need to go to University right away to make any amount of decent money), back then I had the money to be /fa/, not anymore.
>>11269491
im a somewhat effay aspie, and wow its hard to find a job because everyone thinks im mean or just stupid. its pretty anoying.
what are good jobs for aspies (i dont want to be on SSI)
>>11273671
>laundromat that pays 10 an hour
Holy fuck where do you live
>>11273673
When I find another job open I'll quit this one. The job market where I live is shit now though. Thanks Boomers
Commissions based sales at a higher end retail store. I'm still a student so for what it is, the pay is pretty great considering I don't really have to pay for much.
Town Planner
Uhh, it's interesting but not really /fa/ unless you think dictating what colour people can have their roof/doors and windows is /fa/ - though if you read into how public space is used to influence and change the public's mode of thinking en mass, that's pretty jazzy
I buy things in waves (pool table then camera, clothes, car, etc.) and don't struggle, so yeah I suppose
Is managing investments for rich trust fund kids /fa/?
>college student
>$20/hr summer intern
I pretty much wear brooks brothers and j crew to work. Other than that I just have basic fits
waiter here
i make between $25-$40 depending on the foot traffic, work 5-6 hour shifts so have plenty of time in the day to do other shit like read or exercise
probably best job i've ever had, better even than when i was a personal buyer for allsaints
>>11273996
$25-$40/hour***
>>11273983
that looks good
w2c?
>>11274007
Chuys Mexican restaurant. Fajita plate
Working a shit line cook job right now, but my goal is to be programming mobile hydraulic equipment. Will probably pay >$100k/yr, and I will be dressed in only the finest of manlet (Japanese) workwear.
I'm a merchandiser/vendor for 7up.
I have a uniform but only wear it at the one store that bitches about it, once I leave there I just wear shitty band tees, black slim dickies, and steel-toe boots bc pallets with hundred of pounds of pop running over my foot doesn't sound like a good time.
I get decent pay for a kid in his early 20s, like 15/hr, but i get like 60 hours a week, so i get like 6-800 paychecks every week. However, the main reason I stay is the managers just generally don't give a shit about me. I'm supposed to be an hour from home at 6am but instead I wake up and clock in at 6, go back to sleep for an hour, and then leave and get to my first store 2 hours after I'm supposed to have started. I generally chill out in my car for half an hour to an hour in-between stores and play guitar and/or lurk on /fa/ or watch youtube videos. If I weren't so lazy and appreciative about how much bs I get away with, I'd leave and find something else, but I'm fine with where I'm at right now. Only real complaint is it kinda sucks that I don't really get weekends, but whatever my man
>>11274060
>tfw worked everyday for the last month
Oh well the £4000+ pay will be worth it.
i work on the camera crew at a local newstation
not really /fa/ job
ok pay but not much disposable income to spend on expensive shit.
no one cares how you dress because you're behind the camera and not in front of it.
>>11272672
dishwasher here, i'd be glad to help you with that
>>11273996
>>11274000
What? 25-40$ per hour how?
Architect here. Idk if it's effay. You tell me.
Janitor/dishwasher.
At least the pay is decent.
Delivery driver. I start at 6am and finish at 1pm and have the rest of my day to myself. That's the only good part of my job.
I want to kill myself
>>11269966
Psychology student here. Probably not my goal expertise.
Maybe research into psychedelics as treatment (Prof. Nutt, he be blessed).
What do you think about social / cross-cultural / developmental psychology ? Why does everybody hate on social psychology?
I work at McDonalds. What do I win?
>>11271907
Yes, good goyim, drink tap water, the the flouride is really good for your teeth
Student working as a parttime software developer on minimum wage.
Currently saving money for a car, so no sick fits for a while.
>>11274504
That's a great keyboard anon. W2c?
>>11274531
Not quite sure. Saved it off /g/ 3 years ago. Probably a Filco Majestouch with custom keys.
NEET right now, have taught abroad, worked at a museum, random stuff. Gonna go back abroad for a masters then either look for related jobs or go to law school and work with my family after.
I afford clothing because my family is nice. Pretty /fa/ given nothing had a dress code, Thom Browne all day.
>>11274285
tips, man. i only make minimum wage hourly but on weekends and friday nights i can walk with ~$350 in my pocket. typical nights are about $125-$200 in tips, plus $40 or whatever in hourly. tips are untaxed too.
>>11274651
The only problem is that you're not making enough hours. Nobody in the restaurant business can actually make 25-40 per hour for 80 hours; if so then there'd be a line out the door for people trying to get on staff
Plus there's the issue of job security and growth, of which there is none in that line of work
>>11274399
Sympathy and pity?
>mfw
>trilingual minority
>senior at one of the top engineering programs in the United States

>haven't gotten anything
>>11274720
Engineering sounds good on paper but getting in / staying in seems to be quite difficult
A friend of mine left his job at TI to go to nursing school cuz he knew it was a guaranteed paycheck and that there's no competition / uncertainty
No one-year contracts, random drug screens, nerve wrecking performs reviews, no boxing up company and shipping it to China. Good luck man
>>11272647
>merchant mariner
can you go into more detail about this?
what's the work like? is the pay good enough to live well in your time off? did you have to commit to a certain years in service?
>>11271761
Super effay. Sikk cyberpunk fits?
private tutor. work 6-8 hours a week, charge $50/hr cash in hand. pretty effay
I get sick cops here and there, mostly thrift. try not to go too crazy because there's always the chance clients cancel, etc. I've heard tales of tutors making $150/hr or more in places like NYC. That'd be the life for me.
It's fun to dress like an academic though while I pretend to be working on stuff to publish for PhD applications though.
I do labour work so I can afford to buy nice boots then fucking ruin them
It looks good though
>>11272147
>mentoring poets
you're fresh out of undergrad. are you even published in any journals? and i don't mean your friend's local zine
who are you in a position to mentor?
>>11273821
factory line where you do one task over and over for 8 hours
Freelance tech for lights and sound in theatre. It makes enough to pay the bills. I'm working for my masters in set/lighting/costume design though.
If all else fails, my experience with drafting and carpentry makes me consider either architecture or honestly just building/restoring furniture.
>>11275430
Not mentoring anyone right now of course. I mostly help by editing friends' work. I ask a lot of questions, and I'm good with sound and tonal qualities so I make suggestions on that.
No Journals or anything. That's just one way of measuring success. There are plenty of people I look up to who have nothing published and there are those who do. I respect them in different ways, not better or worse. I could see it differently when I am a published author, I can only speak from the position I am in now. I just started reading at events and I have been writing for three years, I'm not trying to go beyond my means.
I'm doing a lot to help myself too. I'm reading (24 books so far this year), writing (wrote 42 pages in April), and editing (which I get feedback on). I could stand to read some more poetic theory, getting more terminology down and actually practicing more classic forms. I mostly write free verse because that is where the modern poetics is at, and it's who I read. I emulate a lot of published modern poets and combine influences. Is this a good way to improve? I don't know, but from what I have heard it is working. I could stand to read a lot more philosophy & spend more time writing essays (academic style, but written over questions I come up with).
Sorry for the excess: TL:DR -> No Journals
Realistically I could probably mentor middle schoolers. Practically, I don't think that would work. I've pretty much decided to get a PhD.
I don't think any of this will be easy, I'll probably have less stability than if I did something more practical. I hope will be more interesting, at the least more rewarding.
>>11276192
If it pays the bills then all power to you
If not get a real job then do this in your spare time
>>11269491
Shouldve said to include work fits. Anyway, Im a linecook/dishwasher. Currently going to uni and live with parents so im hoping to make some sick cops this summer
>>11276192
mentoring's the wrong word, it's for a well established master guiding an apprentice. But it is really good to help amateurs because you learn a lot yourself that way, developing your personal fundamentals. I identify with the method you're doing now heavily (emphasizing consumption, analysis and regurgitation) and wish I still had that work ethic, currently studying arch in undergrad.
I'm a ux/ui designer. My job is pretty effay and I get paid well.
High school teacher
Can be /fa/ if i want it to be. Usually I just dressed super basic - shirt, crew neck sweater, chinos and derbies. Sometimes I throw on a pair of jeans and sneakers with a shirt
It provides me a decent salary, but I've got other financial commitments that are taking priority over more clothes
>>11269541
>independent bookshop
That's pretty fucking effay
>>11276608
That's a pretty good gig, I have a friend in the same field. He makes bank and he's pretty effay, too. (Although he's in SF, and everybody's effay there except the bums.)
I'm an automotive photographer, and mostly do racing stuff. I'm freelance now, but until last year was the staff photog and media guy for a parts company that ran their own race team.
>>11276255
>work fits
Not very /fa/ I'm afraid. Pic is the only work shot I have handy. I'm not as fat as I look here, this was late Dec/Early Jan in the High Desert and I'm wearing a down jacket with a rain shell over it.
Event manager at local contemporary museum. Low pay and I have to clean up other people shit after weddings and other functions.
No money for fits, no idea how to talk to all the qts
Oldfag in Military-Industrial complex.
Not very /fa/ unless you like that 'Mad Men' environment.
Good money but a lot of responsibility, and I've worked both sides (gov and priv.sec).
Not /fa/ but do own designer pieces. I won't be going 'full Rick' anytime soon. I do like the techwear movement - its the familiar silhouette of MIL kit.
I like coming here to read about you 20-somethings complain about stuff or overreact to things that you will not care about in a few years.
>>11276608
Cool I'm trying to go to uni for that, the Politecnico in Milano to be exact. Where did you go to school? Do you work freelance or with a studio?
