mechanic/mot tester.
>>24438764
I know I am not alone, but my parents' powerlevels are rising, and I am afraid if I showed them mine, it would destroy them. Like I feel like I have dealt with the existential bullshit for them in half the span of their life. I can't explain to them how I am okay with being this nihilistic and that I am even grateful to have real closure, so I can't explain to them why I think they should have it before I well, lose them. But they are just so eager to never look back.
If that's the case... just stop acting like you feel bad.
I don't know, I never met him

He's a software engineer, been married four times

>>24439032
>>24439053
I'm so sorry anon. It's not a good feel. I love my half-siblings even though I don't know them, just really spite my dad. Wish he wasn't shitty.
He doesn't have to love me, I'd just like to know my family.
>>24439146
sax is woodwind though, trumpet is the master race of brass
Materials engineer by trade, but now leans more towards electrical, barely scrapes 6 figures

My dad is executive architect at 2 companies and runs his own design firm.
He's a farmer
He grew up on a farm and has worked in all sorts of different farming areas
>>24438767
Can being a landlord really be considered a "job"? Especially if the person only owns a single house.
>>24439323
It's a job but not really a career
>>24438484
Unemployed. He was an odd jobs/lawn mowing guy for most of my teenager years. Had short stints as a hospital janitor and as a mail room guy at the post office but he quit those both after a few months. In my childhood he took care of his mom and his little brother, both disabled, for money. Before that he worked at a paneling company for several years.
And so you have my dad's CV.
before he almost died/became a vegetable he was a very skilled welder for 30+ years.
now he doesnt leave the house and writes mean posts on craigslists "rants and raves" section

Of course his dad isn't the head of Nintendo.
It's an old playground joke where kids would claim to have bullshit cheats for games and try to validate it by saying their dad worked for Nintendo.
He's a metal machinist, he's turned down promotions that would make him a manager. He really should have taken it since I was never close to him.
>>24439663
>Tfw used to say dad worked at Nintendo
>would make up all these games that he'd be working on and shit
>finally get called out one day when someone found out my dad was actually a mechanic
>Noone spoke to me for a year after that
He says that was going to school for optometry, but he dropped out and became a pretty successful crack dealer instead - had an annual salary of about $200k for most of the 80s.
He wasn't 'caught' until at least a decade after he died - by the hands of one of his own clients, no less.
>>24438484
Manages a dock for a ferry service. So exciting.
Mechanic for 30 years.
firefighter
hes really good friends with his boss, so he hasnt even been out to a fire in about 20 years
he just goes in to play pool and watch movies with his mates
>>24439752
That's pretty comfy to be honest.
Doctor.
Basically raised me blue pill because that's what worked for him.
He doesn't know how bad things have changed now.
>>24438484
Father is dead,
step dad on the other hand works in crops and is the lead singer of who knows how many groups (All mexican bandas) and also owns his own sound system party set up shit, very successful for a spic who didn't graduate elementary
He's a detective and can beat up your dad
>>24438484
Ex-USAF pilot, current pilot at a unionized airline. Pretty comfy. Just over 100k.
>>24438484
He works in the oil industry as an engineer for oil rigs and such. He's fucking addicted to his job still from what I'm guessing. Before I moved out he would spend a lot of his time at home on his laptop fucking doing just endless work. That man never made sense to me. How could someone be addicted to a fucking office job.
Entrepreneur, CEO of a few companies and has some real estate that he rents out. I'm starting my sixth year as a NEET soon and he is deeply ashamed of what a loser I am.

Biological father? I think he worked at a department store before he killed himself.
My stepfather does skilled mechanical labor. Injection molding, furnaces, plastics, ceramics. Maintains the machinery.
Owns a framing/construction business
>>24439318
What sort of farm does he have?
He is a retired social worker, he got a scholarship to a nice school and wasted it on a shitty fucking degree, all his freinds from college are lawyers and shit. It kinda pisses me off
believe it or dont, my grandfather was saddam hussein
you can find my ama on reddit too.. if you look
he was a carpenter, now retired.
he is my best friend and closest companion. problem is he had kids late and is 67. when he dies i think ill just kill myself.
>>24443204
I gather he was the father of many so it's probably not impossible, can you post a pic of yourself? Just wanna see if I can see any similarities
>>24443161
I think he's working on a winery or something now. Neither of us are the type to call much so I don't hear from him all that often.
>>24443230
see any resemblance kid?
Chiropractor/Franchise Owner
He had a lot of shit jobs, now he's dead the lucky bastard. Meanwhile I have to work a lot of shit jobs until I get to die.
Everyone in my family does this actually, they work at supermarkets and janitor positions etc. It makes me want to get into something specialized but I have no talents or interests.
Biological Dad: Captain of a large metropolitan police department. Usually exhausted or busy working on hobby projects/family. Does typical dad stuff (Rides motorcycle, RV, boat, he can afford it I guess)
Stepdad: Currently orientates truckers for Tyson Food Corp. Does Obedience/Guard dog training on the side. Plays video games and reads a lot of SF.
My mom was a complete psychotic, abusive bitch. I don't know how she managed to leech these guys but I definitely lucked out.

He's quite the character
my dad is smart with books but dumb with reality
wish I spent more time with him when I was younger
My dad usually jumps from job to job. He was a truck driver for a while, then he worked at a Deli, worked at a Staples for a bit as a copy guy, and currently he works at a factory that makes clay pots while at the same time he has a job at a supermarket Deli. He often quits his jobs and goes hiking for a few months then finds a different one.
He's pretty poor and lives in shitty apartments or at his friends' places.
I think I will end up the same way, except I don't have friends.
Typically worked at restaurants, was also in a band with my mom
>>24443983
Is your dad /pol/?
My pops was a finance guy with a 500 company.
He gives me maybe 10k a year. He also cleans my house. Really nice guy.

My dad works a minimum wage job. He dropped out of school in the 6th grade to work. He's been there long enough he makes $12 a hour
Engineer that works on satellites
Don't know exactly what he does specifically, probably just runs numbers endlessly.
Construction worker.
he's a fucking worthless sack of shit, he got fired when I was like 9 and never worked again since then. He spent every fucking day at home doing nothing but beating me and insulting my mother who is the only one working and paying rent. He just blames everything on us for him being a shameless failure letting his wife dying little by little at work while he does nothing but eat and surf the internet. He fucked me up beyond hope, he's the reason I'm a depressed weak willed sociopath. All my chances of getting a decent future were ruined because of that fucking irresponsible retarded loser. And of course I'm the one getting blamed for failing
>>24445700

>>24438484

>>24445845
>denial and blame
I used to think like that, that I had to work for myself and that I had the possibility to get out of this nightmare. I tried my best, spent two years in a prep course for top schools exams. And I passed, I managed to get into a well reputed school that trained successful politicians businessmen and ministers of this country. I thought I made it, but it's only when there that I realized that only those who grew up within a stable familial structure have chances. I blew all my savings on tuition fee, and I can't afford to live near school, my only option is to live in a shithole and go there by train (2hours daily commute). Needless to say it's impossible for me to keep up with the lack of sleep and the ton of work we have. If my father kept some savings to ensure that I get to study in correct conditions I would have had a chance. Thinking that equal opportunities is a thing is total bullshit.
Materials Tester. I know he uses machines all day, and tests different materials for strength and durability and stuff. But he has hit a dead end at the company now and he gets constantly shat on by the higher-ups.
Oh and they did some job for Lego once. That got me excited when I was a kid since I thought he would be able to get me free Lego.

Well, of course people have different outlooks, in some countries you don't even have to pay for higher studies, in other places there are people who may never get the chance to learn how to read, and within those spectres people draw differently long straws. Can't you study while you commute? I always did.
>>24438484
Besides being an asshole to my family?
Not much really, he doesn't have a job
Something in the army.
My dad bounced around various manual labor jobs like stair building, steel working, forklift driver. He got older and worked as a newspaper salesman and car washer. Now he sits at home on a disability pension because apparently the requirements are fuck easy. Literally ruined his body with substance abuse. He's 55 years old but looks 70.

In the supermarket, whenever they want a parent to come to the checkout to pick up their lost kid, is that him working the mic?
farming ass nigga who also buys and sells mulch
>>24438484
Air Force veteran, now an engineer.
Good enough, I think.
He is a psychiatrist, but works for the NHS (britbong free healthcare) and not privately so he doesn't get that good of a wage.
>>24438484
Supervises nuclear submarine maintenance.
He's been a painter all his life.Haven't talked to him for a year since I don't see the point and he's disappointed, asking why I never visit or call. Supposedly he wanted to adopt me and all of those good things and actually act like a father when I'm turning 21.
Retired, used to be a few different things in the Navy.
Pilot, navigator, cubicle drone, contractor.
Before he passed away he was an electrical engineer by day, and an on the call security personal at night for his company. Basically earned a living 24 hours a day. On his off days, he was a on the call fireman.
There was one security incident where he had to wake my sister and I up at like 2 in the morning, take us down with him, and we were all more or less forced to follow a team of swat members inside to scope out the entry level floor + offices. That was a pretty cool experience, but I can't help but wonder why the fuck they were fully geared and armed at my current age.
