who else on here is embarrassed by their job? i'm a janitor at a supermarket and it just feels like everyone is judging me and looking at me like i'm pathetic when im working
>>
sort of embarrased, I work produce at a grocery store. Are you a little mentally off or slow? I've worked grocery for years and the janitors are always bros so no offense, but many of them were slow or mentally ill. Come to think of it most people in grocery are somewhat mentally ill.

no i have no mental illness and the other workers treat me good, but i just feel like when you tell somebody you're a janitor, they automatically think you're a piece of shit

Dunno if this will make you feel better or worse but 99.99% of people you see daily won't even remember you exist in 10 minutes after they leave the store.

I worked at McDonald's for a bit, and wasn't going to school, and that made me feel pretty shitty. I worked as a waiter simultaneously, and for whatever reason that wasn't as bad.

I think it was the uniform, and the set pay. Working at a restaurant was neat because I got to wear whatever I wanted to, and people liked me enough to give me some pretty good tips. People also werent in a rush so I got to have pretty good conversations. I also think server/Bartender is a totally acceptable career path. The people who work at high end establishments make bank.
>>
what bothers me the most is that i shouldnt be in this poisition. i got straight a's all through high school, and actually went to college and got straight a'sall through college and got my bachelors degree. true, its a pretty useless degree (world history), but still. i never dreamed id be in my 30's, working a dead end minimum wage job in fast food, alongside high school drop outs and gang bangers. Somehow, somewhere, i must have really fucked up. but honestly im not sure where it all went wrong.
>>

The worst at McDonald's was "hey you're good at this, I bet one day you'll be manager" I get that it's supposed to be nice, but in my head it was "you look like you're going to be in the fast food industry for life" and I'm like "shit, I wanted to be a lawyer"
>>
>>27782567
Oh, we are. The cashiers are normal people as long as they are young. If the bagger is highschool age he's probably semi normal, if it's a grown man something is wrong. The regular aisle stockers are introverted and antisocial normies for the most part. The "perimeter departments" are where you'll find truly pure autism and degeneracy. Meat market, dairy, produce, floral, bakery, and deli. These are the people that got a job at a grocery store back in highschool and just never left. The real whack jobs work in these specialty departments. Especially meat/butchering. Those are some weird motherfuckers and this is coming from the produce guy.

what's embarassing about being a taxi driver?

>>27782431

Office wagie here.

Internally it's an embarrassment of a company. But everyone thinks it's a respectable job because "muh white collar".

Whatever, don't make a big deal of it. I was a janitor for a few months, shit job but it's $$. Don't worry about not being prestigious or whatever. Worry about not being paid enough, or wasting years of your life in a job you hate. If all you want to be is a lower-middle class janitor, that's perfectly fine. Some people want more money for nice cars, big house with a pool so they can "impress" their 16-year-old daughter's cheerleader friends, or they want to retire by 40 or 50 or 60. Some are fine with video games, a small apartment and a beater car. Either choice is fine, what will make you happy. There's tradeoffs for everything.

I work in an office. When the janitorial staff comes in I just leave and grab a snack while they do their thing. I'll be honest, I think of you as the personification of a function.

Yea I started out so enthusiastic and I liked driving the rig but the more I drove the more I realized how fucking dangerous it is to do that every day and how mind numbingly boring it would get once the novelty wears off. I almost had a panic attack taking the driving test because I somehow lost my gear and forgot where I was, I couldn't find a gear to get into. The tester was starting to get concerned and was asking if I could stop, I wasn't in a good position to stop lol. I finally found it and ended up doing OK, I got an 88. She didn't know how to drive an actual truck she only graded us so I played it off like it was some sort of mechanical error. But yea, I'm certified and scared to do it still.

Parts Advisor at a car dealership.

I'm underpaid, but that's probably due to the fact I'm going to school to be a mechanic, but I get parts cheap as fuck and labour on stuff I can't do at half cost, so I love working here, also get to wash my vehicle for free and use the detailing products whenever I please.

People at my job like me, I think, but it's a revolving door of salesmen, and I don't care enough to get to know them, because I know in a month's time, they'll leave. So some think I'm a dick for not talking to them, I just can't be fucked.

Work harder at home than you do at work. Art is a discipline, as I'm sure you know. Start a patreon, get your work everywhere. Even if you've already done so, keep doing so. Pander. Make stupid shit that people like, so they'll buy and donate.

The feeling of it being disingenuous is just pride. Swallow it. If you really worked that hard on your art, you can apply the skills you've developed towards stupid shit that people will pay for. You need to work so hard that you'll basically have two full time jobs, and you'll have to work even fucking harder at the one you do at home.

You may not want to hear it, but Chads, though shitty, do work hard. Football training is ass breaking, and it gets so much harder if they get into college ball. It's easier for them to work hard because their lives are managed by other people. You're gonna have to drive yourself harder than their coaches drove them.

And even then you might fail. But at least try.

Small scale nepotism isn't a problem. Of course you're going to employ friends and shit in meaningless positions, and use jobs politically to insert people into employment for favors. Your kids are gonna man the grill in your restaurant, your dumb nephew can always work in your hardware store, ect. Nepotism is only a problem when somebody hands their friend/kid/relative/whatever a position that actually matters and they fuck it up. Nobody wants to hear your brat sing on your $10,000 studio recording. Your dipshit nephew can't manage a department full of lifers right out of college.

Be happy with the job, and live up it to give it value.

i'm not in college (dropped out because i could smell the burning money and failure when i got there) so i'm not exactly wasting money, but definitely am wasting my life. i just want to work at a record label or something, i realized i'll never be a famous musician but i just want to be around something i love for this miserable ride. when i tell my parents anything about being having a job that you're happy to go to they are literally repulsed by it and unable to understand. everything is fucked.

I've had shitty jobs my whole time in the working world. Mostly warehouse stuff. One was for a brand of running shoes and that made me feel good. Nice culture and coworkers. Then I got a job cooking in a kitchen. Not like a fast food kitchen but not a nice one either. That made me feel like the biggest loser in the fucking world. I was still a high school drop out flipping burgers, y'know?

Now I work as an auto glass replacement technician. While the job is sort of stressful and you get shit on for the tiniest things, I do feel better about myself. Like a professional. Seems like most people find it to be a semi-respectable job too.

You shouldn't be ashamed of your job, most things people do for money are just positions created to keep them busy. Anyone who puts you down for whatever you do are pure trash themselves. I'm too much of a coward to even apply for jobs, I'm not in school either.

I'm in this weird paradox situation where I think it's not worth working just to scrape by with the basics but it's also not worth working my way up to something needlessly substantial. I'm going to be out of money soon so I can only hope I have the balls to kill myself.

I feel empty because I'm in my late 20s early 30s and I want to start a family. Everyone I went to high school with already has at least one kid and I really want to be a father. The only downside is that I know how bad women are and I don't think I can ever fully trust one.

I don't know about most, but there certainly are some, I've noticed particularly any of the people who bag groceries and many of the people stocking shelves and cleaning.

I worked as a security guard, both are embarrassing regardless of you are unarmed.

I worked as a CIT guard (Cash i transit) a fucking retard could do, do nothing but wait for money drops at the airport, walk around with a gun and fill up ATM's, go into banks.

When I'm unarmed i just walk around and do some patrolling, or I'm a static guard. It was pretty embarrassing working at the Melbourne Cup a while ago. I was initially a static guard then i was allowed to walk around, it was pathetic as fuck.

So many beautiful women dressed nicely, with boyfriends, guy's walking around all dressed up who have real jobs while I'm some schmuck in a white uniform and a radio.

Eh, I just don't talk about my career, and consequently, my biggest hobby that much. There are other things to talk about. A lot of my friends don't even know what I do for a living. And most people assume the nice things I have were from rich parents. Im fine with all of that. My job is still personally satisfying and that is what is important.

I worked a year in HS at McDonalds. The free food was good but the job was utter shit.

I moved and got a recommendation to work at Hobby Lobby. I became a seasonal stock-boy and was laid off after 5 months.

After 2 months of almost killing myself due to being both unemployed and failing college I eventually landed a job at Moes. An utter shit job with free food and horrible management.

After 5 months of that I got rehired at Hobby Lobby and have worked there as a stock-boy since (about 2 and a half years). Between being "responsible" for cleaning a stock-room I have no control over and dumb managers with terrible ideas I can safely say that the only thing that could go through those doors that would make me happy is a semi-truck.

Last week I finally got a full-time job else-where doing the one thing I enjoyed in Craft Shaft, framing. Just not dealing with customers, being able to wear headphones and consistent hours make it eons better than that shit-hole.

Engineering dept at a resort here. Pretty much handyman status, fix toilets sinks or whatever.

We have a couple outdoor pools that snakes like to cool off under the shade of the umbrellas. Little harmless garden snakes. I get called out there to pick them up but theyre usually pretty quick or already gpne by the time i get there.

Responded to a snake call yesterday, couldnt see it. Nobody else saw it. Walking away i hear a woman shriek.

"SNAKE BOY COME HERE!!" she points in a bush. "GET IT SNAKE BOY GET IT!!"

It was a garden hose.

Snake boy.

What qualifications do you need for that job? Seems like a chill job and beats flipping burgers all my life.

>>27791316
In the UK it's a 2 year qualification, I got my employer to pay for the training on the condition that I stay in the job for x amount of years. I spend my day listening to podcasts while I work on my own in the mortuary. A strong stomach is obviously necessary.

It's different if you're an americlap though, as far as I'm aware you have to go to mortuary school where they teach you all aspects of the funeral trade including embalming. I'm not 100% sure though.

It's because those jobs have extremely low bars for entry. You don't need to be intelligent, talented, skilled, educated etc. to work as a janitor. Of course they're incredibly important jobs, but so many people in the world are capable of doing them that their perceived value crashes through the floor. Intellectual labour will always be more respected than physical labour.

Been there. Done that. It sucks.

You spend your life on the road, it's not a 24/7 vacation as the recruiters have you beleive, the only thing you will see is the interstate and truck stops.

Troopers hate your guts and will try to extort you however they can.

Some places you deliver to will try to extort you for lumper fees, dont pay them out of pocket or you won't be reimbursed.

You can expect to make around $500 per week.

And you most likely will get laid because lot lizards will be trying to get in your truck at the truck stops, just wear a condom or two.

It's still a massive step up.
No asshole customers, job title sounds borderline respectable (credit controller) & there's no real stigma to it.
All I do is email other people like me at other companies all day.

My advice for retail/minium wage hell fags:
-Go to night school
Doesn't have to be college, just do any fucking training you can get on that sounds "job"-studies.
Plumbing, accounting, electrician whatever. Just do something that you can build on.

It is possible to start at the bottom.
Just don't wait for it to change.
