Electronics technician. So I used fix all of your shitty made Chinese electronic products. For the last 8 years I have fixed arcade machines. I love fixing shit but this side of it is rather mundane. You gotta do what you gotta do though.

 

[Dani Paradox]

I spend all my time on SS xD

 

[littlelungs]

I'm currently on disability, but before I was forced out of work I was a pharmacy assistant. I really liked it.

 

[SkepticalAsshole]

Used to work retail now im unemployed pretending to have a job sitting in my car m-f for the last year

 

[2211264]

What machines do you run? I run okuma, mori seiki and doosan.

 

[your pathologist]

Shit. I've never had a career...
jobs sure.
but nothing .... providing stability.

I've worked at McDonalds more times than I like to count and different fast food restaurants before and after that. I've been an Customer Service Representative for several different companies. Offering tech support, billing help, or payment/buying options for customers calling into my company (Big wig phone provider)

I've always wanted to be a tattoo artist but i can't spend enough time drawing to even get around to any sort of career or apprenticeship.

Last job i had was a homegoods store that sold a bunch of different odds and ends sort of like a Target.

Before last fall i was in Parttime university living at home for the past 4 years.
Dropping out when i was sick last fall really put me into a lot of trouble with my student loans because i haven't gone back.
I really should have a job so i can pay for my bills but as of right now i'm trying to stabilize after my meds returned me to chronic insomia.
I don't have a vehicle even when i'm stable.
I alwawys have to mooch off others and rely on them to bring me everywhere.
Cabs aren't too expensive but i end up spending half my check on them.

I'll stop now.

I'm unemployed.
Dont collect disibility or anything.

When you're working just to make enough money so that you can afford transportation and not starve......you know that something is very very wrong.

Hey for the longest time i could have had more money to eat off of but i didn't do that
Instead i spent all that i could scrounge up on weed and beer.

My reality was wakeup, work, sleep, repeat.
For years.

Looking forward to my next day off and not know what i should do because I spent so much time doing what i didn't want to do so that when i finally got time to myself everything was already soomething I didn't spend enough time doing and i have problems with pride and wanting to do everything perfectly..

this is why i rarely draw.. Its never good enough.

... regressing, I didn't wanna spend money on food i just wanted to get so fucked up that i didn't have to deal with my life. Or at least sober. I miss being drunk every day.
Didn't have to pay attention to what its like to be me.

 

[The Blackangel]

Pissing people off.

I get pretty upset about my paintings and how they come out. The only thing I can say is usually I enjoy it when I'm not pressured about what the outcomes gonna be so much. Getting high can usually help with that too.

I cannot Art without being fucked up.

My painting were always done under a deadline.
Im the kinda of person that won't do anything unless there's a time limit
I was really good in college because of that but i always ended up waiting til the last day before doing anything and cranking out anxiety inducing frantic scrambling assignments.

I've only painted like 4 or 5 things tho.
I know i'm good. I just don't have any drive.

My best work has always come from a little inspiration and usually a lot of emotional turmoil. Maybe you just need some limitations to get you doing it. It'd be cool to see some of your work.

 

[TAW122]

I used to study and was a student for most of my life until a few months ago (just graduated from grad school and the job prospects are depressing as fuck). Currently, I'm a NEET (Not in Employment Education or Training) and just letting days pass by me. While I know that I need a job and income to survive, I simply don't look forward to the daily grind of countless hours slaving away just to be able to exist.

 

[2211264]

Currently, Okuma, Hitachi Seiki, haas, and mistubishi.

Okuma

 

[YongeDundas]

I work in porn and prostitution on the side. Or maybe I'm a prostitute who does porn on the side?

 

[TheFool]

I just got hired and had my first day today as a machine operator at a new company, but machine operation has been my job at various factories for the last 3 years. Before that I worked at a woodworking shop, and before that was a truck wash. I would like to go to college and study computer science, but unfortunately that's not gonna happen anytime soon if ever. If I could study anything for free with no worry of struggling to pay the bills after graduating I'd get a degree in the arts. But no, I am stuck working in factories for the foreseeable future.

 

[Gainax]

Unemployed, but have been trying to change that over the last 3 years by taking IT specialized courses (Linux and Networking) but now i realize i will never be able to turn my life around because of my age...37

i applied for internship but companies wont even give me an interview, my classmates much younger that me and with less knowledge get interviews easy.

Seeing somebody less qualified/prepared than me getting interviews and an internship on their way to secure a somewhat well payed job and me...here with nothing, just rotting away because i dont fit the HR's candidates mold, due to my age, lack of experience and anxiety problems.

This really fucks with my head, i think about this every single day. I truly hate this society.

 

[CJM]

System Admin, also dabble in web development on the side.

Bee keeper

Really? That's rather quaint, but nice. Sherlock Holmes became a beekeeper when he retired :)

 

[Throwaway563078]

I work in a medical lab but part of my job is being a saleswoman. I hate it

 

[Empty RN]

Worked at a restaurant, awesome music venue, massage spa, rehab center, student nurse at a major hospital, and now registered nurse for a hospital with chronically critically ill patients

 

[Empty RN]

trained in counselling, was a nursing assistant for quite some time. was studying general nursing until i lost my baby. And most recently was a youth support worker for people age 13-25 with mental health difficulties. Used to run a support circle for a group weekly. Now look at me. I'm a little bit of a hypocrite I suppose. Been out of work for months now due to my depression.

Depression can happen and hit anyone, no one is immune to the depths of despair. I too was a big advocate against suicide. Lost a sibling to it a year ago, advocated and looked out for many siblings/ close relatives who were suicidal, was wanting to work in a psychiatric hospital then I experienced a major life event and ended up in the hospital I wanted to work in and experienced really bad treatment from staff. Now here we are. It takes great deal of love for first ourselves and then others to want to help out. I was brought up in a very different lifestyle then most and abused when I was younger. At 18, I attempted a few times and was moved many states away and my entire life changed. I worked with a therapist and at the time thought it was such a major key to the puzzle. Went a good 7 years with no suicidal thoughts or personal major problems. Finished nursing school and had a huge life altering experience. I'm ready to go now and don't know who that girl with all the ambition and drive was before

 

[Help_Me]

Working in IT company and studying (a student) at the same time. Oh, and I hope to ctb as soon as possible.

 

[Ashpac]

My job is to walk out of jobs because I cant stand people or get rejected from jobs. There is no in between.

 

[The Blackangel]

I'm on disability now, but I do pick up a few bucks here and there making somewhat low quality videos for people. I have a few on my YouTube channel. I say low quality, because I'm fairly new to making videos and don't fully know how to go about it. Also I'm using Windows Video Maker. I bought a video making program but haven't learned how to use the damn thing yet, so I'm stuck with WVM.

But a list of the types of jobs I have had in the past:

Cook
Waitress
Landscaping
Coin Clerk
Satellite TV Installer
Dishwasher
Laundry At Nursing Home
Loading Trucks
Assembly Line Making Dashboards




Off the top of my head that's all I can remember. I know there's one or two more that I'm forgetting, but that's a short list.
