Any wagecucks here have jobs they actually enjoy? If so what do you do?
Pilot. Get to go places. The paperwork is dicks. The 'we almost died' moments are also uncomfortable.
>>27176788
I'm a student but had a unionized internship this summer, basically a cozy desk job for lots of money.. Definitely worth
analytical chemist. get paid $1000/wk post tax to do maybe 5 total hours of work and otherwise browse r9k
i'm an EMT in a hospital, and while a lot of people abuse the system and don't need to be there those days where you feel like you genuinely helped someone in need are the best feeling i can describe
>>27176788
I work from home. I try to find errors in software. It's a pretty easy job. They pretty much give me a piece of paper and tell me to do this or that to the software.
>>27176788
I wreck shit in the woods 60 hours a week for 2 weeks and then have paid leave for a month. It's fun and I spend all day listening to podcasts, new albums and shit that I want to anyways. I have 0 debt and I'm making enough money to retire by 30-35. I don't want to though. I want to drive even bigger machines.

I previously sat in a subway booth 3 days a week and did nothing but watch anime and browse the internet on my laptop since everything's automated. Literally no more than 1 hours work per day of helping old people buy paper tickets. Earn enough money to get by comfortably

What does one mole of u-238 decay weigh?
This is absolutely trivial as fuck if you have even taken chem in high-school
>>27177277
what is google friendo
>>27177277
238g ??
why is my job unbelievable? i have a B.S.in chemistry and work for a major oil company
>>27176788
Delivery driver, with a regular route. Spend a lot of time driving obviously, and I'm friendly with almost all my customers so it's pretty chill. Decent enough wage for simple work and it gets me out and about with enough human contact that I don't completely forget how to socialize.
>>27177303
>u-238 decay

i did kind of like working at stop and shop. i was the guy who pushed carts. nobody really bothered me just the weather rain or snow.
i quit for a better job. it got better just bitchy boss. i look at document scans and prep the.
>>27177323
ok 206g im pretty sure it goes to lead 206 but why would i remember that off the top of my head
i work at a marina
get to sit in a comfy office all day and sell boat parts and drive a forklift
$45k a year. its pretty fun and i get off in 5 minutes

>>27176788
I work security for Guardian Alarm. Just drive around parking lots and sleep for 14/hr.
If I ever saw a crime being commited I would just pretend I didn't see anything. Not going to get shot by a nignog for 14 dollars an hour and I don't get a gun
>>27177353
Lead is the end product, I'm talking about the decay itself. But whatever 9 times out of 10 people just ignore or post le shiggy face.
>>27177412
there are like a dozen decays to get to lead. your question is intentionally vague and dumb, and that bit of trivia would in no way prove if someone is a chemist or not
But how did you get these comfy jobs?nepotism
>>27177454
i went to EMT school for 2k~ dollars over the course of a summer, and then did my national test and applied to get my state license, and then applied for the job at the hospital and got hired the same day as my interview
literally everywhere needs health professionals
>>27177412
ok so 238-206=32g/mol decay. what was the point of asking me this?
>>27177499
>want to be an emt
>have a dui conviction on my record
oh well
>>27177499
man i wish i had $2k to just blow out my ass too bad this minwage slave job doesnt pay that much
Process orders at a small courier company. I answer, confirm mails and phone calls, prepare stops for drivers, call dispatch to drivers.
There are four of us in the office and we have five drivers. Boss is chill but has his heart in the company and I guess all of us kinda do, everybody helps each other. I'm starting to feel this hardworking sentiment of my small country, and I actually respect people in these enviroments.
I guess it's a bit unsettling to be the youngest in the firm though, but at least I'm not with peer normies and I can pretend I'm one.
I sure as hell am grateful for getting out of shelf stocking and a warehouse job. Miss the forklift a bit tho.
>>27176788
CCTV guard. I stare at a screen and draw chinese cartoon smut when there aren't any faggots messing around.
Pay is of course shit, but it's chill job and for that I like it.
>>27177043
how you get into that?
>>27177441
>>27177504
It's cool, I already said I'm not arguing any more. I just think it's fun to check how often retards are blatantly lying when they give away some specific degree/job
>that bit of trivia would in no way prove if someone is a chemist or not
The fact that you know that was kinda what I was looking for, since, like I said: 9 times out of 10 people just ignore or post le shiggy face.
CNC machinist. I make things out of metal.
>>27177043
>The 'we almost died' moments are also uncomfortable.
What kind of 'we almost died' moments are you talking about? How often does this happen?
>>27177574
Do you have one of those cliche multiple monitor setups? What happens when somebody starts causing problems
Gas station cashier / maintenance.
At least once a month some idiot leaves the pump unattended and spills 100 gallons of fuel onto the lot. That's just in my small town, I can't imagine doing this job in the city.
Just a reminder to NEVER EVER light up at the gas station or you WILL explode.

None of these people are wagecucks working jobs, they're professional with careers.
My favorite wagecuck job was being a pseudo-janitor for the food court of a shopping mall. While everyone else actually working behind the counters of the food court had to deal with hungry assholes and idiot soccer moms who always asked to speak to the manager and vegans with gluten allergy who want to eat hamburgers, all that we had to do was to collect the plastic trays, wash the plastic trays, and then evenly distribute out the plastic trays to those places, and also clean up tables and the dining area.
People were actually quite nice to us, a lot of them would bring us their tray directly, and others would freak and profusely apologize because they spilled a bit of soup on a table.
Lawyer. It sounds like the least robot job but I rarely go on the court. I work for the legal department for a fairly big company and get some big bux.
>>27177798
Get promotion above your supervisor by using your relationship with the directors
>>27177862
forest anon here. I wouldn't call myself a "professional with a career". My qualifications are
1. spent two weekends on 200$ courses on bucket loaders and shit
2. Drove smaller shit for 9 months
3. knew somebody who knew somebody in the logging biz

Unfortunately he also has a good relationship with them. I'm aiming to at least get on the same level. Pissed off cos he was looking for another job at one point and that would have made my life a lot easier.
>>27177737
I do, it's actually pretty neat. And up till this point I've had only 2 problematic "customers".
The first was a gypsie that tried to jimmy a locked storage facility. Bastard got what he deserved, once I buzzed in the muscle.
The second was a drunkard that had no idea where he was. Ended sharing a beer with the poor sod, after which I called him a cab and sent him home.
In short - when there is trouble, you either press a button and make it go away or you just sit on your ass, write a report and proceed to do nothing.
>>27177940
fair enough, I didn't quite get all the details of what and how it was that you wrecked in forests, anything related to forest-work can either be manual labor or university-degree type-shit.

Could you share a few stories EMTanon?

Got a degree, joined the military, good test scores, good eyesight.
>military
It's a heavy jet, so I'm basically a shoo-in for commercial airlines. When you compare the civilian path to being a pilot for the major airlines (regional or smaller pilot making enough money for bread and water, plus never home), it's not as bad as it might seem in a vacuum.
There are positive and negative parts of the military aspect, but I'll spare you my soapboxing.

This is US military.
I'm the posterchild for "Join the military, see the world"; lived in Japan for 4 years, been to 15 or so foreign countries, great assignments, but the mismanagement of the military at the general officer level is driving people out due to workload and unwillingness to address how the military affects and creates family and personal problems. Gross mismanagement of funds, contracting, and conflicts of interest. I guess that's read "corruption," if you're being straightforward.
I'm not debating US foreign policy, just commenting on the internal personnel and acquisitions management of the US military.

>>27178112
Well I've worked in fast food/restaurants before, and with janitorial work:
No 40 year old single moms with problem glasses who are always asking to see the manager.
No pack of Chads who wall walk in 8 at a time and call you "bro".
No 16 year old sluts who whisper and giggle to each other while staring at you
Not having retarded kids as coworkers who sit around all day and watch you do all the work
Not having different ways of doing things according to your manager, store owner and franchise owner
Not having to work overtime because the other employees are too lazy to show up on time
Not getting phone calls early in the morning on your days off asking to cover Chad and Stacey's shifts because they are totally sick on weekends and not actually hungover.
Not having to risk injury or death for minimum wage when working a supper/lunch rush
etc, etc, etc.
with something like being a janitor or a dishwasher, it's just the zen-like simplicity of just dirty and clean.
Of course, it's part of basic qual.
>>27178340
happened like a month ago but yeah, it still kinda bothers me that I didn't do anything about his oxygen situation. A nonrebreather (type of mask, google it) is used for high flow oxygen and he was getting 15/lpm which is the highest we can give from our wall, so if your patient is still not high 90's on that shit somethings wrong, had I noticed something ahead of time we probs could've been a little more prepared for his first death, but would you really want to be in a constant state of dying? probs better for him that he passed when he did, ended a lot of pain
>>27178365
That haircut ... wow
>>27177612
Nigga u dumb as fuck
>>27178365
You could get all of that working as a night guard, telemarketer, laborer - all kinds of stuff.
>>27178092
>dream job is a janitor
Ayyy, me too! Haven't applied anywhere yet, but the schools near me are always looking for night shift custodians. Have you looked at the school districts near you?
>>27178365
Most of those can apply to janitors too. It all depends.
If it's like a gas station where you come in after close and work alone I guess you can have what you want.
But there's a decent amount of jobs like what you want. Gardener, train driver...
>>27178354
salary?
originalo
>>27178365
>cover shifts
NEET with not job experience here, what is this? Do you get paid for it? If so, you must really dislike your job if you're not willing to cover shifts for the money.
Also, don't you get paid for over time as well?
>>27178511
>>27178517
ehhh sort of but not really. No one brings their 8 hyperactive screaming kids to a night guard's desk or a janitor's night shift or telemarket's booth. Fast food is hell on earth. Retail is only slightly better, because there's something involving food that triggers an animalistic, terrotiral response in grown-ass human adults that overrides everything they were ever taught by their parents and teachers and priests and grandmas to be nice to other people.
>>27178512
Dude that would be perfect. I'm only ever looking at general job ads at like craiglist and other local job listings but there isn't shit there. I should look at the school districts' websites?
>>27177499
why do you losers love to lie so much?
its pathetic.
nobody would hire a fag and his 2 month certificate, and no experience.
people here study 4 years and do years of internships to get that.
who are you losers trying to fool?
bunch of neets pretending to be working and making "hurr 1000$/week doing nothing".
>>27178651
Should be on the district website, at least that's how it is here! Good luck, anon
>>27177847
irk, what is there to gain to lie on anonymous board?
i guess it makes these losers feel better about themselves.
>>27178635
Yes. We do get paid for it.
The problem was that, for that particular job, I was working 9-5, 5 days a week. That was my official schedule.
The issue was that around 4 o'clock, at least twice a week, I would get a phone call from at least one of the other people scheduled to come it for 5 saying "brooooooooo there is so much traffic lmao imma be late k? chill" and I'd end up working there until 6 or 7, and getting home around 8. Sometimes until 11 at night. My feet are hurting, I haven't taken a shit in 9+ hours and I just want to go home.
At least I had weekends off, I could stay up late and sleep in. Right? No.
Again at least once a weekend, I would get a hone call asking me if I can cover so-and-so's shift because they are "not feeling well" the night after they posted instagram selfies of themselves doing molly at a club. The worst part was how those people only worked like once or twice every weekend, and I worked 5+ days a week.
The extra money was nice at first, but fuck it after a while. Sleep and my mental health is priceless.
>Also, don't you get paid for over time as well?
Sometimes. The place I worked at was sketchy. If I did take over other people's shifts and worked more than 40 hours a week I would get overtime. However if I ended up working at night, the store had a questionable policy of not paying anyone after 11pm, even if they did have to work after 11pm. One time I was stuck in the store until midnight because of some bullshit with another store.
>>27178780
Thanks robot-kun! I'll be be happy to leave this NEET purgatory and finally get me dream wagecuck job!
>>27176788
I supervise troubled youth at a rec centre, i lied about being jewish so they put me in a non-muslim group. Now i just bro out all day and get paid to smoke weed with a bunch of laid back underachieving stoners.
>>27178811
So if you're not willing to do it for the money and want free time, just don't cover shifts. You can always just go home after 11 pm too, since you're getting paid for doing what you do, and if you're not, they can suck it when you do what you want.
I suppose they can fire you though, though it depends on how expendable you are.
>>27176788
I'm about to start driving for Uber. I won't have to get up between 6 and 9am, which I could never maintain and I can hang out at starcucks and shot post in my downtime. I think that's as good as it's gonna get. I used to do contracting and that was nice for not having to smile or be personable, just wallow in negativity and get fit. Insanely stressful when working with high strung foremen, though.
>>27177043
That sounds awesome, I wanted to be an Army pilot, but I dropped out of University and a job that competitive doesn't like drop outs or gaps in you resume.

freelance web developer
I enjoy it because I'm good at it, earning 300pouns a day, could up that to 450 if I decide to move to London
>>27178885
Oh that was a while ago. I was fired after we got new owners and I missed exactly one shift. Worked there for 9 years and have jack shit to show for it.
>"a job you can enjoy"
HAHA nice one wageslave!
Keep telling that yourself as you cry yourself to sleep after a day of misery.
Good coping mechanism.
>>27178976
Why would you want to show that you worked a pretty terrible job?
>>27179019
oh I meant money wise.
I spent all of my money on weed and video games to get high and forget the fact that I work a shit job just so I can get more money so that I can buy more weed and video games to get high and forget the fact that I work a shit job just so I can get more money so that I can buy more weed etc.
Getting shitcanned was probably a blessing in disguise, except for the depression and NEETdom
>>27179204
So you did things you enjoyed, what's so bad about that?
>>27179218
I couldn't really enjoy them though. I wasn't doing them to enjoy them, I was doing them to try and alleviate stress which only sometimes worked.
It's like those fat people who weigh 600 pounds and have to constantly be eating cheesecake because they were molested as kids or whatever. They're not enjoying it as much as someone who only eats cheesecake a couple of times a week as dessert.
>>27176788
High school teacher.
It's alright.
Also, I get paid to basically live in a hotel every summer, all expenses paid, for easy-ass training and shit.
>>27179324
Eh, can't say anything for you since I've never really been in your position, or a similar one, really. What people do for escapism and the like, I do for fun. I mean, since there's no actual meaning to life, might as well make one yourself. I'll never understand escapism though.

Did you honestly just recommend somebody voluntarily take up Telemarketing as a job?

Carpenter.
I live in a trailer on land I own with no mortgage payments at all, and I produce a lot of my own food, so in all honesty I don't need that much money so I never work very hard.
I work a few days a week when people commission me to make something fancy, like a custom bed frame or fancy carved desk, and get paid a lot for the pieces. I also really like building stuff and I get to be pretty creative so I like it. Also I'm my own boss and have no employees so it's literally drama free and I don't have to answer to anyone but the client.
