Press brake setter and operator for sheet metal (1mm to 10mm) for about 5 years now. I've only been on machines that have Windows 2000 and XP running on them, none of the fancy modern stuff where it's all set and ready to go for you. I gotta calculate and program it all.
Machines also beat up and somehow still working after two decades of work. At least the dopamine release (and the muscle gain) is a given from pulling off silly customer requests on machines that should have been scrapped a decade ago. Ugh, management these days, don't wanna spend a penny...

This is getting out of hand! Now there are two of them!

I teach English, History and Social Studies at a very nice school, and I've been working since 2022. I am quite happy with my job, and I don't think I'll experience the loathing and burnout that many others new/new-ish to the field end up experiencing, quite simply because I am a) very good at my job and b) beloved by the students, which makes doing my job a lot easier. I'm particularly adored by many of the neurodiverse students and it is almost a second job of mine to make them feel happy and enjoying their education, so I really don't see myself losing the passion for the field any time soon.

Ser um NEET deprimido e com deficiência é um trabalho? Porque esse é basicamente o meu trabalho, rs.

Well, it depends on your point of view.

I'm a public employee working in the National Library of my country, in the Center of Digitalization of such library. This year is one of the worst (if not the worst) to work in a public office, so i resume my old employment in a Ice Cream franchise as a part-time job. Besides that, i like to read books, comics, drawing and make collages, but i don't know if someday i can dedicate my entire time to make art.

[chxshire22]

reading this post reinforces my personal opinion that "odd jobs" are more fun than office corpo jobs.

i'm currently working as a building manager.
i enjoy it most of the time. i'm also good at it. but my interests lie in cyber and have been studying for a degree and career switch. i have to fight with others younger than me to get a decent position in a new industry tho ... :/

Us, Jigglyaneses basically work on waiting patiently for death, hoping to wake up, basically to work again to wait for death one more time.

 

[Prism_Red]

Officially, I work in IT software development for about 7 years now, no I don't enjoy it, and I intend to make myself as uncomfortable as I can at work.

It's really cool seeing the wide range of careers you all got here. Guess I'll finally state what I do now since I forgot in the OP. Little over the last four years I've been dismantling retired naval nuclear submarines.

That's a pretty interesting career. It sounds mundane or repetitive, yet really cool at the same time. What happens to the dismantled materials? I assume steel and other metals get melted down and used for other things, but what about the nuclear material?

I can't get super detailed due to reasons. But to give a general answer to your question material either gets sold off for scrap or recycled for boats still in service. As far as nuclear material goes that gets processed and shipped to a facility where it will be buried under concrete for ages until the radioactivity starts to die off. Wouldn't really say it's mundane or repetitive since it's a very physically intensive job and conditions change constantly which I enjoy(unless it's an asbestos spill fuck those), that being said at certain points of the project things will die down for a bit which get boring but then ramp up again.
