What do you all do for a living and for how long?

[Android 18]

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 ... :/

[PrismRed]

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.

I got all messed up in a war

You and me both brother.

I'm a realtor and I also work at a grocery store overnight.

Ends up, almost every job I would want requires needs a college degree.

Well, I could work for the police. But I left military contracting to get away from that.

 

[Taukyrie]

I'm an English post-editor for a Japanese company that specifically deals with translating Light Novels. I've been doing this job since last year and I honestly enjoy it.

I know I might pick up another job since I only get paid monthly, but I hope that I can get something that will still allow me to work on this.

I was an MP back then, so I think we ran in the same channels. Going through MP school supposedly gave me some college credits but after that the rubicon had been crossed, you know? That college credit shit means nothing after a tour in afghanistan

You need to talk to the VA, if you were downrange and shit you are owed a paycheck

I was a g11 investigator, assigned to the ONI as a detachment to the Blue Ridge.
Basically, I was a civilian mp, one of the detectives that would work with the shore patrol mps in order to handle the crime elements in town.

So yeah man, we pretty much ran in the exact same circles. I had my nose broken dealing with Chinese/ Russian crime elements in Yokosuka and Yokohama, along with a couple of slashes on my face and hands.

The bitch about working on the civilian side of the military is that you don't qualify for VA benefits, even if you saw combat first hand, because officially, that combat didn't even happen.

I think I did get a few college credits, but like you said, it doesn't add up for shit after you've dealt with hell.

But good to have you here man. It's rare I run into people I can relate to online.

You know it man. Ahaha, I swear half of the guys in my department back then were nerds as well. I remember we would marathon the SG1 boxsets all the time back then. Hit me up any time friend.

I'm a SAHM. I've tried full time and part time work in the past and it absolutely destroys my mental state to be masking and socializing that much.
