Phil/lit jobs

I make posters for a nightclub as a freelancer.
Made some paid photography with my Leica to some friends and colleagues.
Got a gig on a art gallery/clothing shop (those are everywhere now) once for said photography but only got one lame t-shirt and free beers in return. Nice visibility though.
Now I'm trying to climb the social ladder and get big on Instagram with the help of analytics for getting more work.

I study Political Sci. at the uni.

Didn't mean to quote you in the post above. Just wanted to say your post reminded me of a very 00's track.

Perma neet

Landcare worker

I drive a forklift. I overhear a lot of conversations about suicide, so I guess that's pretty Veeky Forums.

Translator
Medium to low level bureaucrat in the countryside.
Landarzt

scribe for top secret manuscripts
I listen to audiobooks on an mp3 player while rewriting shit that I don't care about

Same.

Programmer

>top secret manuscripts
Like what?

it's just personal information of regular boring-ass people

I just made it sound way cooler than it actually was

also, I'm now really good at reading people's terrible handwriting

I'm working as an official for a state agency in my country that specialises in (((political and civic education))).

Feels dystopian.

But who pays you to transcribe the personal information of regular boring-ass people?

How does one even get work as a translator? There was awhile when I was trying my best to find some work in it, but had no such luck.

damn, that would produce a sellable novel if only you felt like blending fiction with autobiographical elements nicely, user
and ofcourse if you have just a little bit of talent
think of Palahniuk.

mechanical engineer for an aerospace company.

I'm thinking of quitting and going back to school for math education. DESU, I just did engineering so I could prove I was intelligent enough to d it and to feel superior to all of the fags at my school

Fuck off STEMtards.

That's interesting. Can you expand on this?

Spraypainting, which mostly means repairing cars.

Quit my job today. I was a peasant. I'm gonna be a full time philosophy student at the uni.

bad decision.

>was a peasant
>was

did you quit a real job or did you quit a parttime job filling shelves

I do denture work and make bite blocks for denture preps.

I am the proprietor of a break tag/storage business that does uhaul rentals as well. It runs extremely smoothly, deal with about 20 customers a day which takes me anywhere from a min to 15 mins depending on what's needed.
After my time is done I go upstairs to my on site apartment to read or watch podcast. Fall asleep at 1ish and wake up at 6ish to start the cycle again.
Only real non customer human contact I have is calling my grandmother every day to check up on things.
Been doing this for 10 years.

You don’t need to go to uni to read books, user. Sorry you wasted your money while we became well-rounded Übermensch.

Got any horror stories about people's teeth?

This actually seemed comfy until you said you've been doing this for 10 years. You might want a change of scenery. Don't stick to a routine for that long, imo

I've seen kids who suck on lines for some reason, and their teeth are dry and weak. I've also seen grown men with baby looking teeth, and men with grown down teeth with the pulp exposed, which doesn't mean the root necessarily.

A lot of men don't clean their dentures so they get nasty as hell. But no nothing really horrific. I've had my wisdom teeth removed and they had to surgically extract it. Slowly after a few months, small bits of extra tooth that was missed surfaced and came out by itself, which is normal. That's about all I got.

Limes*

Damn phone

Clinical psychologist at the Red Cross

The income for the place pays for a lot of stuff. Like my mom living in a special care home. Tried to hire someone a while back but they ended up stealing about 3k in cash the first week they worked there.
It really isn't the worse I mean I take care of my family and get to read a whole lot along with make 6 figures. But you are correct I do need a break in the routine. Isolation has been getting to me.
Hopefully, I can get a table top game off the ground soonish.

>The income for the place pays for a lot of stuff. Like my mom living in a special care home.
Is she okay with this? MY mom is getting to that age and I feel obligated to switch to working part time to take care of her but I haven't brought anything up

She is in good physical health but mental health not so much. But the place she is in takes good care of her and she is in a good routine.
I go see her every Sunday morning with some brunch with eggs Benedict. She remembers me less and less but still loves her food.
Yeah it is a difficult decision, you will need to know when it's time and they need your help. The problem will be establishing those limits on them and that control. The power dynamics is extremely odd when it comes to that kind of thing. But if you love them then you have to push forward.

A lot of it is nonsense B2B marketing material and proofreading/editing terrible ebooks, but it pays the bills.

It's usually as a contract-by-contract basis, but I'm looking for graveyard shifts in warehouses/offices etc. so it'll give me more time to read.

I'm quitting my full-time job at a mail facility this week. The pay is fine, but the work is mind-numbing. I'll start substitute teaching and working a weekend job as a product ambassador for a retail tech store in a week or so.
