What career or job do you have? Is it a /fit/ job or does it allow you enough time for gainz?
Warehouse supervisor for a recycling company.
Building skids and unloading large items (TVs, dishwashers) is great for gainz.
Sitting on my ass doing paperwork or driving around picking up shit for general maintenance is a goblin.
Overall pretty /fit/
I'm a grocery stocker for a company called meijer, just basically a local wal-mart
I start working a new job on the eleventh as a Patient Safety Assistant at the local hospital.
Meijer is a definite 8/10 on the fit spectrum, sometimes its slow but i'm always on my feet lifting something or running around helping someone. Not as taxing if you run which I do, certainly not a roofing level job too.
>>37839748
Start as a bank teller on the 18th.
Currently unemployed but was a chef with a masters in chemistry. Starting a course to do physiotherapy in September but shall probably also study mechanical engineering part time. I suffer from being intelligent but not really having ever had any direction. Parents weren't really into driving me, they were hippies.
>>37839748
Run a small engineering consulting firm.
Desk work. Long hours. Great money.
Steroids and kettlebells are where I get my gains.
>>37839748
I'm a procurement manager for a big retail chain
Considering I am responsible to buy the meat for over 500 shops (and I get as much free meat as I want), yes, it is very /fit/
On the downside, it is very sttessful
I've been working for 8 months as a trainee shipbroker
It's not a /fit/ job I sit at an office all day
But I may have to inspect a ship one day and that's really hard work, some ships have holds as deep as a 5-story building. Imagine having to go up and down a ladder 25m tall for all 9 holds just to inspect them and take pictures.
Shit I doubt I could manage right now.

question, do you actually bend at the knees?
I used to work at various warehouses and I've never seen anyone do a full squat when picking something heavy off the floor.
everyone just sort of crouched down and lifted more with their back than their legs.
Just finished my doctorate, trying to find a job and prepare for boards. Right now I have plenty of time for lifting whenever I want, will definitely need to plan shit out once I get a job though.
i own a small construction company, do all the work myself.
really /fit/ job because the work is physically very hard.
i go to the gym 4 times a week, then i work about 10 hours, other 3 days i work 12-16 hours.
>>37839748
MedComms
9-5 job, so I have time in the evening to workout
Drug Rehab Counselor
I help addicts get fit since:
1) I'm known as the guy who lifts a shit ton and can run a lot of miles
2) Involving a physical fitness program into their recover has to shown to decrease rates of relapse, help them lose fat from the shitty meals the "dietician" thinks is necessary (she plans shitty meals), and help prevent injuries from when they're being idiots.
I exercise with thrm all the time.
Nurse.
This week I've had only evening shifts and I haven't lifted since last sunday.
>>37839748
hoping to do firefighting
have heard good things from anons on /fit/
its a physical job, you get plenty of time off, and sometimes you get paid to lift at the station
PhD student and sessional instructor. I lift after lectures so I get to stink up my office.
Part time warehouse. Pays $14/hr and i live in a cheap part of the country, so i get by on 20 hrs per week just fine. Go to gym twice per day.
>>37841691
Its a tough job mentally, you'll see some sad shit. Good luck with it anyways
>>37841691
Be a cop instead. Pays better
>>37841509
How did you get this job? I'm interested since just throwing myself into weightlifting and health really helped me get out of addiction
Filthy gaijin english teacher. Shit's great. I squat and OHP my elementary kids and play soccer with my middle school kids.
>>37840853
might be doing something like this soon, seems like a cush job
Formally a receptionist, now a recruitment consultant at the same place after 2 months, not sure if it was my work ethic or l33t gains.
Physician currently specializing.
Definitely not optimal for gains, but when you get the routine going it works just fine. I have to do my training before going to work, otherwise I will be too tired.
>>37841034
>Run a small engineering consulting firm.
How long are you running ? How did you start ? Starting capital ? Where did you find clients ? What kind of engineering ?
More info please, engineering major here (parents forced me, lel). Always wanted to have my own business.
P-please respond.
>>37841827
I shadowed with my local department for one of my classes at college, and I ended up seeing a few decently gnarly calls (one guy ended up dying, he was older but we came to his house and they did CPR on him + Epi while his wife and daughter were in the room). It was sad for sure, but I was able to handle it and not lose any sleep. I think thats a good sign.
>>37841845
not totally concerned with pay and Id say being a cop is more difficult to get into, less rewarding, and people hate you a lot more
>>37841847
Native speaker ? I wonder how hard is it land an english teacher job as a non native speaker.
Honestly if I was the one hiring I would expect perfect accent, native speaker, etc.
>>37841846
My job itself required a degree since I do clinical services like diagnosing, risk assessments, and therapy groups. However, you can get what we call "line staff" with just a high school diploma. Look for residential treatment places in your area. I'm going to assume you're in the US? If so, you can look at https://findtreatment.samhsa.gov/ and see if there's any residential or inpatient treatment in your area.

Been running 15 years now total.
Sarted with a bunch of friends from school.
Our parents fronted us capital. I come from a family of bankers, one of my partners is European nobility, and most of the others come from 1% families, too. Burned through $10MM in seed money in 5 years before they cut us off and we went bankrupt and started over finding our own funding here and there from contacts we'd made and hadn't totaly alienated.
Clients are leg work and networking. Former school friends and profs would put us in contact with people who could use us. Then references and following up and more following up. And doing great work.
We did petroleum engineering until recently, but we've been moving over to chemical engineering in general.
General tips: don't go it alone. Make sure at least one person in your group understands business and accounting. Don't make big bets that will bankrupt you in one go.
>>37842187
Not everyone is a trust fund babby, kiddo. And nearly all of those who are won't have their fortunes by the time their kids are grown.
Lifeguard at my gym
Go to work an hour before to fit in a workout then just sit on my phone for 6 hours :)
Engineer at a petrochemical company. 40 hour weeks with flexible schedules. Plenty of time for lifting.
>>37842346
You seem like a nice guy, but it's just absurd to hear this.
>Burned through $10MM
>>37842047
There's like half a dozen flips in the same company. They claim to want 12 years of English education but if you've got the language proficiency qualifications to back it up you're probably good. If you're already in japan doubly so.
>>37841845
You a cop, fám? Can I pick your brain about the job?
>>37841152
Because that's how you lift shit up when working.
You don't check your form and adjust your position just to be able to lift 6 things off the ground and then get tired for a minute or more. You just do it the most time- and energy-saving way.
Source: raised at a Slavic farm, used to lift heavy equipment and other stuff.
Med student
Not a lot of time, but i try to lift at least 5 times a week
>>37841152
>>37842442
I do use proper form whenever I lift heavy. I can because I'm a supervisor and do what I want. I make sure all the other young people do to. All of my <20yo staff know about "hip drahv"
>>37842346
Interesting.
So even with a large initial capital you guys went bankrupt. Was it due to inexperience or lack of clients/lack of advertising or overflowing market ?
How did you guys got back up ?
>>37842394
It's actually closer to 30 if you count all the contracts and patents we fucked ourselves out of. And this was right at the peak of the last economic bubble, too. At least we finished in the black once all the accounts were settled. Even if it wasn't enough to buy pizza.
A couple of us spent a couple years in B school after our premature death, and we started back up right as the crash of '08 happened so we picked up equipment for basically nothing on the dollar.
Luckiest boys in tne world, really.
>>37842399
Cheers. Nice dubs.

Maintenance guy at some apartment buildings. Get to build and fix stuff, use power tools, and work with my hands all day so it's usually interesting. Lots of walking, running up stairs, climbing ladders, so it's pretty fit I'd say. It's always nice catching the occasional 'mire from a qt3.14 tenant too

1 year of schooling to get my 4th class power engineering cert, going back in the fall and i'll have my 3rd (canada here). I think in the US you can just walk in and run high pressure boilers and shit, but they probably hire mil people with experience running that shit. More about knowing someone who can get you a job with oil in the shitter atm though. And yes the money is good. Working night shift atm, most people sleep for 4 hours or watch movies because there's nothing going on.

I wouldn't work 730-9 every day. That's just the time the pharmacy is open. An 8 hour shift somewhere in that time frame leaves plenty of time for hobbies and a family. I'm happy standing in the box.
>>37842940
For a pharm tech job at meijer, apply online, then walk in, ask to speak to the pharmacy manager, and make it known that you are interested in the job and tell them that you've applied. They will pay for your training and get you licensed. Techs in my area start making $10 an hour, with 2 $1 raises that come as fast as you are able to take advancement testing, and yearly raises. It isn't the best pay, but it is a good entry level job, and it looks pretty okay on a resume, especially if you are going into the medical field. Best of luck to you.

You are absolutely right. I know, and I wish that weren't the case. If it makes it any better, all floor workers at my store and most of the stores I float to are cool.
Work on a field crew in a 8,600 acre nature reserve. Run chainsaws, hike miles of trails a day, drive atvs/utvs/tractors daily and kill invasive species. Lift heavy things.Hard as fuck some days but I like it. Sometimes even go an entire week without seeing a member of the public.
>>37843093
Great job. I'd still be doing it if I could. Back is fine now, but I'm medically disqualified according to my former employer's insurance company.

I haven't missed a workout yet but I've had to use the roll of shame a lot and dropped a few deadlifts because they always put me on the worst line of the day on my gym days. I always go after work due to logistical issues.
Fucking great for my cut though.
>>37843038
Good things: get to actually help people, and decent pay, plus lots of opportunities for learning and promotions/special duty assignments (k9/swat)
Bad things: in the US everyone thinks I'm a racist asshole, plus there's lots of paperwork and I get stuck at work late often.

>>37842466
I'm curious about medical school. I'm deciding between pharmacy, medical, or PA school. I shadow at a private orthopedic practice and a lot of the doctors and surgeons say to not go to medical school. They say stuff like, "it's financial suicide" or "I wouldn't let my kids go to medical school." The only guy to tell me to go to medical school is a neurologist that went to med school in the Caribbean. I can't remember where he did his residency. My sister is a PA and she loves it so far, so I'm starting to consider that instead. I've been set on medical school but after having 20+ doctors tell me not to go, I'm starting to think otherwise.
>>37839748
accountant.
Did a 3 year bachelor. Now i have to work and study taxes for 2 years in the evening. 3 evenings per week from 17:30 - 21:30. After that a hardcore internship of 3 years to become a Certified extern accountant.
This shit is gonna destroy my social life and gainz. But the money is too good to refuse.
>>37843282
Doesn't matter where you go to med school. Matters where you do your residency.
Look into DO programs. You're a real, board certified doctor who can prescribe drugs and everythingg, but it's a shit ton cheaper because you have to sit through chiropractic training.
I became a finance & data consultant after spending about 6 months after grad school trying to find an office job. I eventually came to the realization that while people value my work, nobody wants to work with me on a daily basis. I make my own hours, as projects don't require me to have regular hours except for scheduled meetings/phone calls. People in the suburbs seem generally confused when I'm running errands in the early afternoon, and constantly ask if I'm on my lunch break or took the day off.
I know the school doesn't matter and all that matters is where you did your residency. But since the only doctor to tell me to go went to medical school out in the Caribbean (easier than US schools), it's hard to take him seriously. I'm not exactly interested in DO school.
I'm really curious about what other anons think of why these doctors are saying that.
A lot of them just say it's not worth the stress and paying off loans until you're 40+.
>>37843399
Get into med school and join the military. They'll pay for your med school, and you'll get to do doctoring instead of paperwork. Meh pay, but no debt. Try to get into reconstructive surgery. It'll be an easy path to plastic surgery after you get out.
Or see about scholarships.
>>37843399
My girlfriend is a surgical resident and I was with her through medical school. It is a tremendous undertaking with a lot of risk and debt, and then you get to look forward to being broke for the next decade before you start to get paid. In general my friends that became pharmacists and PAs seem much less burdened and enjoying their lives already.
>>37843399
Particular strain on social life and family interaction is a major factor that you have to keep in mind too. Stress is very high. You can't leave work at work.
Many doctors told me the same thing they've told you, which is why i made the switch to pharmacy. It isn't for everybody though.
>>37843194
Cool, thanks for the insight. I'm going to a recruitment expo next week. I'm hoping to apply for academy not long after that.
>>37843194

>>37839748
I work as the overnight person for the front desk of a hotel. The job is piss easy, and I spend most of my night doing nothing but reading or watching shows on my tablet. But the pay is garbage, and trying to maintain a social life is hard.
I work 9-7am, Sun-wed and go the gym afterwords. Come the weekend I switch my sleep schedule around so that I can actually do stuff during the day. Shit pays merry Hell with the body and I'm exhausted pretty much all the time. 2 years of this takes a toll on you if you can't adjust well .

lots of work off ladders and always carrying my toolbelt is pretty good for my legs and helps me with my cycling.
Moving rolls of wire can be like 150lb farmers walks
pulling wire can be a lot like cable rows
moving switch gear around and into place can be tough as it can be 800lbs+ so small amounts at a time or on pallet jacks.
sometimes I get a boring day like block watch so I try to help the hod carriers and move a few pallets of cinder blocks
sometimes bending pipe can make you feel it in your chest

i graduated as valedictorian of my class and given a "apprenticeship" at the institute of physics.the dude in charge decided I needed some experience working with other apprentices and now im here.at this point its is just like a study group.it is stupid as shit but it pays well.Im probably going to move into something else but right now im stuck in this shit.Its my fault to be honest.I put string theory under interests in my application at that point I thought it sounded cool.what a fucking mistake
med school
it's fucking shit, couple of hours of free time to lift, too much study for shit grades and 5 hours of sleep tops, doctors are literally gains goblins
good thing you get mired by almost everyone, also this one qt nurse was changing clothes and I was there. she literally showed her panties to me, sad thing she had a low test butt 2/10 would not bang
>>37844110
What institute? Perimeter? Also it's highly unlikely that someone would put an undergrad in a string theory research group, let along pay you for it, even if you were a valedictorian.
>it pays well
Come on anon you should lie in moderation. I don't want to completely expose you yet. I assume you have read some textbooks on QFT at least, right?
>>37843868
that sounds reasonable. Guess I need to research MOSs, I am ignorant.

ive been had.but Ive also succeeded in wasting your time.so I have won
I work for a company that secures contracts with health systems and we find gaps in their insurance claims processing. Work 7 AM to 3:30 PM. Company constantly gets awards. Just won top 50 coolest places to work from INC Magazine. CEO is cool as shit, knows everyone by name, hands out stuff when we do good work. Great benefits, coworkers are the coolest. Always fun events like having food trucks come for lunch or company wide pot lucks. I picked up my life in 2 weeks for this job and I haven't been happier.
>>37844146
double down on the research. they make the shittiest ones sound the best.
if you're fit and not a quitter or loser, consider an 18x contract

Again, speaking of summer children...

hey this was me exactly, I had 0 desire to work a normal job and the thought of it made me sick. Got best grades in school and now been NEET for 3 years and soon thinking about suicide
My advice? Distract yourself, finish college/uni/whatever and see how you feel after that.
Now my life seems irreparable

Find something you're interested in but that doesn't seem that available. This is the hardest part, really. You'll probably have to try a few times to make it work.

This much is clear, but let's address the other parts.
>thinks a lie by omission isn't a real lie
Prove it. Protip: if centuries of moral philosophers can't, neither can you.

I think that about sums it up, kiddo. Get some therapy and learn to think clearly would you?

THEY ALL FUCKING KNEW!! THAT'S WHY YOU FAILED OUT!!
I'm halfway through getting a medicine degree, although I only attend the hospital roughy 2 days a week and spend the rest of my time fucking around. I manage to get away without studying most of the time because medial education in this country is a joke compared to places like the US. I'm going to finish to get the degree but I can't stand medicine. There's nothing else I can think of that I would rather do however, so in all likelihood I'll be a doctor for a few years before killing myself.
>>37843399
currently applying to med school now, and i am friends with like 15 med students and know doctors as family friends so i'll give it a shot.
those doctors have been doctors long enough to not have the dream of being a doctor anymore. it's reality. so they get there and the allure is gone and it's just a job so they'll talk about it like a job. apparently the bulkd of thhose who drop out of medical students are those who a) get in solely to help people, b) those who cannot handle stress, c) those who get tired of the same shit and d) those people who aren't interested so don't care.
it honestly seems like the people who make it may want to help others but are really just competitive and want to be the best. i'm hoping to do med because i mean i do want to help people, but i really want to be in something that's hard as fuck and push myself to the limit seeing as i can't join the military because of an allergy lmao.

Doctors will tell you not to go into medicine because the nature of medicine has changed a lot in the past 20 years due to insurance and "patient satisfaction goals". So a lot of older physicians see medicine as something completely different than when they trained. If you shadowed and like what you saw, you'll be fine.
One caveat to what anon said: It doesn't matter where you go to med school as long as it's in the US. DO schools are a great option to MD if you don't want to be a brain surgeon or one of the other really really competitive specialties. DO NOT GO TO THE CARIBBEAN! Their match rates are terrible in comparison to US MD and DO schools. They're basically a scam.

It doesn't involve lifting, but it has good hours (9-5) and the hospital has a free gym in it for employees.
Plus, if I wasn't /fit/ I'd be a hypocrite if I tried to counsel a diabetic patient on nutrition or a CHF patient on exercise.

I teach natural sciences in secondary education. Am qualified and skilled enough that the top -expensive- private schools want me, but instead took a much lower paying job at a public school that allows all students to enroll (for the price of a 4chan janitor, because communist Europe).
Hoping to be a sort of reverse gainz goblin for these kids, by giving them a way better science and health education than they could normally get.
So far it's working, and I feel I'm contributing to these lil' niggaz lives.

Enjoy the abstractions and the math, so you don't have to enjoy the content. "Boring" content jobs like insurance stat pays top dolla, and if you look through the content, the abstract problem solving fun is still there.

Ayy thx.
Did you go in with a PhD or what grade of education you got?
What's your early $$?
What level of abstraction are we talking about?
Functionals? Spaces? Matrices? Linear Algebra?
