Where does everyone work? there was a really good thread last night where everyone was telling each other about their jobs and just telling stories. I'd really like there to be another one.
I work as a Microbiologist for WHO
Just retail for now, and a full time student.
I'm hoping next semester I can teach chess though at a school part-time, or a museum job if it doesn't have clashing hours
Work at a business consulting firm as a software dev, technically, but my job location is a dev farm filled with other tech guys in a really chill atmosphere. There's casual drinking, video games, ping pong, and the traditional fucking around on my computer for hours on end.
Really a dream job but not sure how long it will last, my company bought the company that hotels me and I'm sure there are going to be some structural "changes" in the future.

I recently applied for the job of Research Biologist for the CDC, It's been a long dream of mine to work for them, hope it works out all right.

I'm a special education teacher. I get high all day and play with retarded kids, and have gone from kv to pussy slayer since I started, because bitches get super wet when you say you work with retarded kids.
First, they call you sweet; then, they slob on your meat.
I'm an accountant at an unnamed financial institution.
I'm the stereotypical pencil pusher accountant who spends the entire day in a cubicle.

>>24095326
Damn bro. Now I feel like a fat sack of shit for bragging. Is there no opportunity for going to a trade school? True me, getting a job where you can actually create something is much better than a random service job.

>>24095506
You work 44 hours a week, get three days off a week, and make like $500 a week to do what, fuck around with some pallets and shit? Cry more. Like, if that shit's too hard for you, how do you think you're going to fare in the navy?

I'm a teacher on a rich kids high school in Someplace, South America.
It's actually a pretty cool job because you're not salved to produce. I'm quite happy.
The problem starts when I get home to a creeping loneliness, I'm afraid I'm using my job as a way to escape my own reality.
>>24095651
sounds like me, only that im working with cars
I run a warehouse for a company that imports huge tyres. Money is good, but working by myself started getting to me after about 3 years.
I gave my notice last week and I had big plans, but now I might be going to jail...
>>24094940
I work for county government. Everyone I work with sucks, and the pay is terrible (12.80 an hour). The only redeeming thing about the job is, being as its government, its practically impossible to get fired. So I sit in my cubicle most of the day, work about an hour put of an 8 hour shift and browse the web on my phone.
Occasionally I'll actually do my job, but seeing as there's 8 people on my team with really only enough work for 3 there is barely anything to be done anyway. I decided to finish my degree. Usually take online classes and spend the 2 hours between my lunch and afternoon break doing schoolwork. I just alt tab to some spreadsheets whenever my boss comes by.

shit is so fucking cash. helps distract me from my frustrating LDR. Ask me anything.
I don't have a job currently but I volunteered at a thrift store.
it was nice. there was a really sweet lady there who knew I wasn't in thebest shape mentally and would always reassure me if I messed up that she had made the same mistake before and everything was going to be okay. She also made sure no one took advantage of me, and got me to actually talk to people for once.
shame my volunteer thing ended, it was one of the few times I felt I could function normally...but then again I did nearly have a breakdown the last day I was to do my stuff.
Engineering student doing an internship half the year (3 "work sessions" total) at a large electric utility.

Working on other peoples cars sucks.

I've never had a REAL job where I clock in and clock out. I've applied to many places only to not get a call back.
How does one get a job POOF just like that? I've searched for months but have found nothing. Entry level jobs ask for 1-2 years of experience in fucking whatever.
How does one get a job with literally zero experience?
>>24095682
>The problem starts when I get home to a creeping loneliness, I'm afraid I'm using my job as a way to escape my own reality.
Same here, I work on IT and sometimes I just get overtime because I don't want to go back to my empty home. I might kill myself if I lose this job.

>>24095822
Try applying for seasonal positions. They usually take anyone, since they only have to keep you on board for 3 months max.

Ahh that lizard is adorable; do want.

>>24095822
>How does one get a job POOF just like that?
Without knowing people at the company you're applying for, nobody. You just have to keep applying and applying, remember there's a shit ton of people doing the same thing. Eventually you will find one.
If you look enough and lower your standards enough you can find one that doesn't require experience. Work that shitty job for a bit and use that as your experience when applying elsewhere. Twist your words up enough to make your experience relevant if you have to (experience in "sales" for example can mean a hundred different things).
>>24095822
It's really all in your CV to get a call back. Retool your CV/resume and put I'm all sorts of shit about projects you did in school that sound offical. No one really checks that. I've bullshited on ever job application I've ever done. My references have always been friends of mine. Now that I've worked 2 jobs they're my "supervisors" or "managers".
You could also try putting keywords in the headers of your resume/CV but white so they aren't visible. Programs scan your shit to match with keywords in the job description.
Once you have an interview you basically have it made as long as you don't sperg out. Just be confident and even if you mis-speak continue like it's no big deal. Never say you "think" when they ask you scenarios. Just tell them your answer as if it's indisputable.
Should work. Its never let me down

It's kinda gay

Very gay but I'm enjoying the GI Bill NEET life.
>>24095938
So, the solution is clearly to join the military, do more work for less pay and probably get shot at, and almost definitely get mesothelioma?
When you join the navy, you sign papers telling you that you will almost definitely get mesothelioma and that the government won't pay for your medical bills in the slightest.
>>24095974
not the same anon but
>If you look enough and lower your standards enough you can find one that doesn't require experience. Work that shitty job for a bit and use that as your experience when applying elsewhere.
I've been doing this forever.
I even got turned down at mcdonalds and shit.
of course my options are kind of limited cause I'm a grill and can't do labour intensive shit (I'm a weak motherfucker I'm not going to lie)

>>24095878
At the very least, it's a decent option for someone who would otherwise never make it past shift manager at McD's. Experience in the military is a good card to play when applying for jobs.
But yeah anything other than chair force is a bad idea
>>24096017
Are you the one from one of the threads a few days ago talking about the military?
I grade tests for ETS from home, $18.55/hr
It's literally the perfect job for me; I don't have to leave the house and the only interaction I have to have with other people is a few short emails to check in during the day.
I can pick from a really decent range of shifts (4, 6 and 8 hours fitting into slots from 8am to 11pm), as little or as much as I want per week.
Depending on what test I'm doing, I either spend the day listening to pre-recorded responses and grading those, or reading essays and grading those. The former allows me to do any kind of physical/easy activity while I'm grading too (like turn-based vidya, exercise, chores, etc.), so it doesn't feel like I'm wasting time ever.

Na, been in those threads but not recently
>>24096025
It's a solid plan. Just go into something cool like medicine or intel. The navy loves it's medicine and the marines love it's radios too much to put them on the front lines. You could still get shot, but the chance is much lower. It's fucking durkas anyway. The kids playing ak47s isn't the problem. it's the little pile of trash that blows your leg off you have to watch for.

>>24095938
Yeah a while ago there were some news reports about their warehouses and a lot of employees have permanent disabilities from the amount of bending/lifting they have to do during a shift. It doesn't sound to great but at the same time I wouldn't mind having a job that would make me have to walk 15 miles a day.
>>24096150
Oh, how's being a 68W anyway. I deal with a bunch of you guys getting in trouble where I'm stationed

Everyone goes into one branch or another, thinking they'll get this or that job, thinking they'll get this or that benefits and get college paid for and this, that, and the other thing, and almost all of them wind up homeless or back to working the same shitty wagekek jobs they tried to get away from, when they joined the military.

Jesus I really need to get out more and do normie shit. But thanks for the info. I'll keep looking. Currently have a pilonidal cyst I'm dealing with but hopefully I can get a temp position at UPS as a handler once I'm good to go. Getting tired of NEETbux and being NEET.
>>24095938
This to be honest
>>24095612
It's a system designed for new employees to fail. They barely tell you anything and get you in trouble for the things you didn't know. It's a shit job and I don't even make $500 a week my pay gets fucked because of taxes so I'm only making about $350 a week. Not to mention the mandatory overtime they like to throw at you out of no where.
>>24096363
Oh, I'm with the 101st so everyone tries to be super hooah for no reason even when they're not infantry
honestly the only reason why I joined was for a free trip to somewhere I've never been and to get college for free

door and siding manufacturer as an hourly employee. it fucking sucks. manual labor on swing shift. current schedule is 10 consecutive days on, 4 days off. sometimes they stretch it out to 11 on, 3 off or even 12 on 2 off. it's like the greedy kikes that own the company literally don't give a fuck about the personal lives of their employees.

>>24096377
Just a heads up. I have worked at UPS as a handler. I don't mean to discourage you but the job sucks something awful (at least when I did it). That being said, UPS is great for moving around. Once you get in you can transfer to pretty much any division. You just have to put in a year before you can. Plus they'll pay for tuition and the overall pay is pretty damn good for what you have to do.
>>24094940
I stock shelves at a grocery store. My parents think I hate my job because I'm lazy, but it's actually the lack of stimulation to my brain. As an internet and vidya addict, I ALWAYS have to be stimulated, and at my work I can't listen to music, can't talk to anybody because I work in the ial alone. For 8 hours straight. So yeah, it's hell.

>>24096263
In the air force your job is determined before you sign shit. If you don't like it you don't sign. Other's they aren't going to put a guy who rapes the asvab on guard duty. If you go back to your old wagekek job then you're retarded. The GI bill is enough to pay for any education program you could think of. I guess you learned all you know of miltary life from msnbc specials.
My brother in law does radios, another guy I'm friends with did biomedical equipment, loved it, and now repairs shit at the hospital I work in. Big money and apparently easy as fuck. Yeah if you go into cannonball polishing or some other stupid highly specific no civ job then you could have trouble when you leave. But if you do aircraft mechanic then you can come out and do aircraft mechanic. It' sounds crazy but it works. that job pays over 100k too. A guy I went to uni with was doing civil engineering but dropped out for something with fedex. He must be doing well because he got the big house with all the toys and a qt wife. I prefer a small studio so I live close to my chinese restaurants and don't have to commute, but I can definitely see the merits of his lifestyle.
I work in HR consulting. I get to do a bunch of analysis about how fucking useless execs get paid $200K per year. I'm too much of a beta to leave even though I could probably get a job at a major TSX company without blinking.
>>24095822
You have to do a follow up call. Like call them a week or two weeks later and ask how your application went if they reviewed your application. They like people who are go getters which is extremely depressing but you just have to deal with it
Or just go to a job helper place

>>24096518
Fattest person was this black lady who weighed soemthing to the tune of 550lbs. Fucking disgusting. We had to call out the engine so we had some extra people to hoist her out of her house and into the ambulance. The Paramedics couldn't find a vein through the fat to stuck the IV and even with oxygen her O2 levels were below standard. The entire time she was bitching us too because we took to long responding (were were there 7 minutes after dispatch) and we must be racists. She smelled like fucking ass too.

First job out of college.
Better than whatever else I could find. I have a background in sales and don't mind interacting with dumbfuck rich normie housewife shits.
If it doesn't work out I can always go back to school and do something else.
The thing with sales is that its a good way to earn a decent living if you don't have any hard technical knowledge. But you have to be decent at it and not a lot of people are.
We'll see which group I fit into.

There are worse stories I have but not every day is a house of horrors. Sometimes we legit get the nicest people in the strangest situations. We had some old guy who had accidentally shot his foot with a nailgun. He was putting up cabinets in his kitchen and when we got there he had made coffee for us. He kept apologizing for the inconvenience and tried to tip us when we dropped him off at the hospital.
>>24097098

Im a constructionfag and i know what that feels like. Granted it wasnt in my foot but in the outer meat area of my hand.

It was okay. I only have like 125 hours total, but I have a bachelors and am planning on working towards the 150.
The material wasn't that tough in a vacuum, but there was a ton of shit to know for each exam.

Ok will do. Sorry for the lag between posts. My sisters are over and unfortunately I have to be sociable.
So hands down one of the worst things I have seen was a motorcycle crash. Guy was speeding down the interstate and tried to speed between an EZ pass. Guess he tried to lock it up at the end cause you could see where the wheels left brake skids on the road. He ended up plowing into the concrete barrier head first. Absolutely destroyed his helmet. Crushed in his skull. Thank god he was killed on impact, but it hand caved in his head. That was the first night I had ever seen a human brain, it was pulverized and smelled awful. I ended up throwing up out by the engine. Never wanted a motor cycle after that

Dead shit doesn't smell that bad
I'm a fifth-year senior in university. I'm the operations manager for my best friend's brother's transportation logistics company. I make a pretty decent amount of money, get unlimited vacation, and make money by sitting in a chair, shitposting on 4chan, and occasionally making and taking phone calls.
I also run a business on the side. For the last two or three years, I've made extra money writing essays for international students at my college. While this used to never come out to more than a few hundred dollars per month, I've established quite a reputation. By the 13th, I'll have earned $3,000 from papers since the beginning of November. I honestly think I could regularly make $50-$70k per year if I created a website, dropped out of school, and did this full time.

>>24097672
Had another one that that particularly sticks out in my mind. It was a car full of 20 year olds. They had been drinking a bit from what the cops figured. There was cans in the floorboard of their car. Ended up crossing a lane and hitting another car. The people in the car they ran into were ok. Had some minor cuts and whatnot. The 4 who were drinking were all dead. The 2 in the front appeared to have minor injuries but we're dead. The 2 in the back were fucking wrecked. Faces smashed to bits. They didn't have their seat belts on in the back and when the car impacted they were flown forward into the heads of the people in front of them. The two in the front were killed by the impact of their friends on the backseat. The front two had teeth from their friends in the back embedded in their skulls.
That ones a bit hard to describe typing out, but I can fucking visualize it in my head. Its one of the ones that makes my stomach churn

I used to talk to military recruiters at my high school so I could miss the first part of my after-lunch classes. After a while, they convinced me to let them pick me up and take me to a Navy recruiting station about half an hour from my house. They sat me down, talked to me about my options, and gave me a practice ASVAB.
I think I got all or almost all of the questions right. These two grown-ass men were practically sucking my dick and begging me to let them to convince my parents to come in and let me enlist on the spot.
Said I'd think about it. Didn't stop calling me for the better part of a year.
I don't think I'd last in the military, I have authority problems.

You salesman here. I was majoring in networking for awhile before I dropped out. My best advice is to get certifications. Start out with network+ then micro then ccna. It adds value to your resume and increases your chances at a job

Mostly it was blunt force trauma to the head. The teeth that were stuck in their skull was towards the rear of the head not the neck. Although their spines may have been fucked up as well. Judging by the state of their friends though we all were pretty sure it's caused massive hemorrhaging in their skulls.
One story that really makes me rage though was a drunk driver who ran into a minivan with a family in it. This fucker decided to run a red light and make a left turn from the far right lane. Slammed into this van with a mom, dad, and a 2 year old. Impacted the drivers side of the van. Crushed in the whole side (drunk guy was in a big ass pickup). The moms arm was mangled really bad and she had glass all in the side of her face and one eye. We couldn't even attempt to remove it. Just had to patch it up as best we could until she got to the trauma center. The kid in the back though was really messed up. The impact had thrown him half out of the car seat and his whole side was cut up. Had a deep gash down his neck. We had to put him on a board cause of the neck trauma. We ended up having an air unit take them to the trauma center. The drunk driver didn't have a scratch on him

I'm a railroad conductor for a class I in the US.
I make a lot of money and my job is fairly easy but pretty dangerous. I sometimes get to play with a remote controlled 3,000 HP engines.
>>24098611
How did you get into that? I would love to do something like that.
I'm a kitchen worker at a pizza place in my hometown, it's not too bad. I've been there about 6 months. Not a bad place to work actually, definitely better than fast food place I used to work at. Most of my coworkers are college students or at least that age. I'm cool enough with them now, I used to think nobody really liked me,I'm a little insecure.
>>24098649
Yeah I'm an 18 year old and I'm bored enough staying at home for this past year since no one has hired me :( working from home sounds cool but not sure how these positions come about I don't see them much especially legit ones.
>>24098869
I'd love to do that. How can you get into it?
>>24098910
I lived near a couple of railroads, needed a rail job, and applied online. There was no big secret to it other than making a good resume, and interviewing well.

I live near a track and considering that.
What qualifications?

Badass. I live near the CSX hub in my state. I'll start looking with them.
>>24098895
Im only 24. I work for Aer Lingus. Its cake. You just have to have good internet. After a year they will buy you shot for a home office. Only issue is I work about 30 hours a week. Which is fine for me since I have 2 kids but it may not be enough to live on if your single
>>24098969
>What are the hours like
Depends on who you work for, but you'll start off working on call and being a slave to your phone for a few years at least.
>Schedule
On call, nights, days, weekends, holidays, sunshine, rain, sleet and everything.
>Qualifications
Able to pass a drug test, not have a suspended license/DWI, be able to climb up and down and walk a lot, and learn a whole set of operating rules.
Really, not a whole lot. I have a highschool diploma and went to college for a few years, but a lot of people just went to highschool.

Don't leave your life behind for this shit. You're just a piece of equipment to the company. They will furlough if they don't need you, they'll call at the worst possible times, and they'll try to fire you for breaking minor rules.
Working for the railroad is not a job, it's not really a career, it's more of a way of life. These are very large companies that also happen to be very insular.

Just trying to give you a fair warning. CSX doesn't pay very much starting out, you run a decent risk of getting furloughed, and even more importantly, there's a slow down right now so you might not even be able to get hired.
This line of work isn't for everyone. Not trying to turn you away, but you won't have much of a life with it.
>>24099336
Thanks, its good to hear. Like I said I'll look into it, not just drop everything and be a railroad man. The only other job offer I have at the moment is working security in Erbil. I'm not wild about going back to Iraq but we'll see.
Pepsi merchandiser, I've made threads about it before
Finished up 8 yrs in Marines. Recruited at job fair on base for 15/hr installing underground power lines in subdivisions/commercial buildings.
Quit the job and just finished first week at a new utility contractor for 16/hr. I'll be at 18/hr in 90 days. I get to take home my Ford 550 bucket truck with a company gas card. I can stop at the store on the way home. I go to different power poles and fix whatever discrepancy it has. No hard labor like my previous job. Life is good

How long do you plan on doing the ESL gig? did you go to school for teaching or english or was it for the experience and snowballed from there?
i did a year in mainland China as a English teacher (Wuhan, Hubei province) and loved it, but ended up coming back to the US in July and have been bored out of my mind since. even with the limitations of that career and living abroad i had more fun and more friends in China than my hometown and after bombing and interview from a major law enforcement job i was going for last week ive been seriously considering going back to China to do another year.

>I also run a business on the side. For the last two or three years, I've made extra money writing essays for international students at my college. While this used to never come out to more than a few hundred dollars per month, I've established quite a reputation. By the 13th, I'll have earned $3,000 from papers since the beginning of November. I honestly think I could regularly make $50-$70k per year if I created a website, dropped out of school, and did this full time.
i did this as well anon. i will go into business with youright now i write some girl essays for free because she's the only female friend i have
>>24099696
It's sad when I see that making 18/hr in the U.S. is a good thing your country is trash when it comes to living off of wages if you didn't become a doctor in the U.S. or something it seems like you're going to live like shit and even if you did become a doctor you spend half your life paying the college debts off such a shit country.
>>24099944
You do know it depends on the part of the country right?
Not the guy youre responding to but i make 30/hour and would barely be able to afford to rent a studio in the SF Bay Area unless i want to live in the ghetto like East Oakland. If i went out towards Sacramento i could easily afford to rent a house in a decent area.
If i went even further out i could buy a house within 2 years and fully pay it off within 5.
You really need to pull your head out of your ass.
Working as a personal assistant. I get payed 15 $ an hour to browse /r9k/ while the kid I'm assisting browses youtube or studies.
It's pretty sweet but kinda boring, but I actually don't want to kill myself the night before a workday, which is a new thing for me, so I enjoy it.
The job was mostly a way for me to be able to move away from my old city, needed a new start.

Is accounting really a good job to get into? Seems like it'll get automated easily , unless you're a CPA
>>24095414
What type of science?
and
>doesn't pay well
Really?
>>24100666
Depends what you mean by "accounting". Most Accounting majors go into Public Accounting, which is Audit, Tax, or Consulting. The first few years are pretty much a living hell. You work a shit ton of hours, even weekends, to meet deadlines, you have to travel all the time, and have to be in a full suit and tie all the time.
You don't really stay in Public Accounting unless you like that sort of environment (or you're not good enough to something else). After those first couple of years, you are now the most valuable asset for businesses and extremely hire-able. Stick with it for 5 years and you can jump ship for a nice cushy 6 figure job. Either that or you end up in Consulting, where you just make up BS to top executives about what they should do and they'll eat it up because "you're a CPA with years of experience and know what you're doing". Consulting also pays a good amount.
I'm on the IT Audit side, so I get to talk to the Director of IT for big companies and yell at them for fucking up their Domain. I enjoy it, but no chick will ever want to date a man who is never home and works all the time....:(
>>24101087
ive heard people that get into corporate tax law make ridiculous amounts of dosh just by sitting around and telling companies what to do.
Accounting seems like one of the best fields for robots, even better than the usual CS stuff. its definitely what i would have studied in school had i known any better at the time.

liquor store clerk.
Supposed to be a plant operator/engineer, but when I got my papers for it last year the oil crash fucked me out of any job prospects.
Same thing happened to me during the last recession- got a great job with cool guys installing HVAC shit and bashing tin. Doing a good job and making decent money. Was on the very edge of making it a career and taking the courses and such to be a genuine apprentice. January 2009, given my papers, because I was the guy on the crew with the least amount of time.
Also have a two-year law degree I got in 2003, but never used it.

Yeah. Since Feb oil been rough Slumburger started by cutting 5000 people worldwide in one go. I got in back in 2013 so when the ax came down, I was already balls deep in seniority.

Keep at it senpai.
>>24101655
Personally, I don't know. I do know that in Public Accounting, you're pretty much guaranteed manager in about 5 years and you make at least 80k unless you work in a very tiny firm (based on the pdf and my personal experience). I can't imagine anyone leaving a job to take something that will pay them less money unless it's a substantial decrease in hours or for a charitable cause (like a not-for-profit).
I do know that most jump after 2-3 years, which is where I can see the 80k cap number you have...but that's also why I said 5 years in my original statement.
>>24100253
i just miss the lifestyle more than anything else. it felt more like an extension of my college years (better than some of those years in fact) in an exotic location alongside a group of very open and friendly expats that were all there for the same experience. we were also someone special in the city that did something unique and interesting and garnered some respect, here im just another face in the crowd that no one cares about.
in China i was making only slightly less than what i make now and the company paid for my apartment next to the school. there were no nagging parents or boring life expenses like car payments or credit cards, in fact i saved 2/3 of my income every month and still had enough money for greet food every week and spent my weekends getting trashed at the bars with my coworkers and fellow expats. at work all we needed to do was attend meetings and manage our lesson planning, everything else was run by other people in the company. we took trips to exotic locations and celebrated holidays with interesting people, here i just do menial work and listen to my boring middle age coworkers drone on about their dumb children or trashing family problems.
after almost 5 months of being home im really regretting ever leaving and if things dont get any better by next year ill probobly be heading back there.

Well, im currently studying stem and will finish with my degree in a few months. After that, the plan is to ride out one last contract, save lots of money, then change careers.
Its truly not a career, but i came here during the recession and enjoyed my life. Most of my friends have moved on to other careers here, such as editing or translation. If i hadn't started studying stem 1.5 years ago, i would have moved into r&d or editing myself.
If you come back, then do so with the goal of using it to leverage into something better, or you'll end up 40 on a barstool stranded in Cambodia with a fucked up liver.
