Veeky Forums's dayjob

Software developer.
I read books, play historical vidya and don't talk to people.

I like that approach.

I teach English and Italian as a part time thing for extra money, the rest of my income comes from Mommy and Daddy. The pay is shit though and I wish I could be doing something else but there are almost no part time job opportunities for students where I am.

it's surprising how people just never fucking learn.

Snails were probably a symbol for heavily armored knights.

camwhore.

When you're a student, I recommend just living it up while you can. I wish I'd actually travelled and studied abroad as a student. If you can afford to do it, do it now. It gets so much harder especially if you're American because we don't have any mandatory vacation and the standard from employers is 2-3 weeks. And yeah it can be difficult to find good part time jobs that pay well and are interesting as a student without connections. Some places refused to take my resume when they found out I was a college student because they can't make the investment to train you and then you just dip out when it's time to go back to school.

I provide technical expertise to mechanics and electricians repairing commuter trains.

Basically I sit around doing nothing most days

I stock shelves at Walgreens

I do maintenance for a timeshare resort, pays pretty well desu.

Why

Are you a canuck?

Solicitor.

US Army

I work in hospitality, at a spa. I'm getting my AB right now in classics, then I plan on getting my masters. After that I'll work as a highschool teacher and try to get a PhD.

TL;DR I'm trying to be a historian, but I'm only 20.

This the correct answer.

>What do you do to pay your bills or get disposable bodypillow income, Veeky Forums?
I work for a company that sets up and maintains ultrafast spectroscopy systems for universities. Basically I'm a glorified lab tech/IT guy who gets to travel a lot.

>how well do you cope with dealing with historically-illiterate philistines?
Most of the people I work with are pretty well-rounded and knowledgeable.

Security officer
>how well do you cope with dealing with historically-illiterate philistines?
With coffee, god and cigarettes

While that is a decent income maker, you can't just say something like that without providing proof.

What?

Dishwasher.
Too busy to talk about things.

Salesman. I'm super autistic, but I'm really good talking to strangers? Anyways, about to have my own company so I can afford college.

Grad student. I specialize in TQFT and applications in cond. mat. Currently instructing an undergrad course over the summer.

machinist
theres one guy i work with that is semi interested in the histories but other than that i stay quiet most of the time

Courier stuff, also some office work on the side

Ottomans my dude

>What do you do to pay your bills or get disposable bodypillow income, Veeky Forums?
A Lifeguard, and im saving some money so i can move out to college
>Anyone here living the dream as historians or teachers?
Im going to get into Anthropology. Somehow, i have to.
>If not, how well do you cope with dealing with historically-illiterate philistines?
by occasionally revealing my power level at the worst times but otherwise hanging out with folk just as autistic as me.

I mean yeah Ottomans but was that even the case when Camels came out in 1913?

Open. The country.

...said the United States.

Stop. Having it be closed.

There was really nothing they could do

So they signed a contract that lets United States, Britain, and Russia visit Japan anytime they want.

why isnt this guy making more of world history shit? does he hate money or something

They could have also been a way to make fun of nights. Also, since many monks worked on growing food, it is very possible they actually did see snails as worthy foes of knights

Top tier movie taste

Mason and occasional carpenter.

I'm the boss so the guys have to put up with my going off on flying buttresses and nubian vaults on a regular basis.

My wife is a bong and I apprenticed in england (im a texas fag). Once on a job in North london a Halifax flew over and I just about shit myself.

None of the lads gave a damn about anything you couldn't snort drink or fuck, but they humored me while I rambled about the blitz for rest of the day. I was also constantly showing them old porcelain containers and other old trash we found digging out footings. I miss those guys. Now I have to sperg out in spanish.

I'm a paralegal for a small 2 partner law firm that does creditor rights litigation.

I'd like to be a history teacher/professor, but dumping another $50k into getting my Masters just to make the same money I'm making now just isn't the greatest investment.

Same here. I like it because I can listen to history audio books while I work.

air national guard and school. I bore people by telling them random historical anecdotes

Student loans babe

Choshu and Satsuma hated this.

I work as an ambulance nurse/EMT. Everybody in my profession is well aware about the general history of medicine and caretaking as we get force fed of it during education. I have a great fascination with the history of surgery which is not that well known. I am fucking disgusted with the history of psychiatric care, been to a few exhibits and it's all been very nasty stuff.

Was delivery driver for Jimmy John's (because I like weed)

Now am part of a public policy think tank in Denver (because I like weed)

Britbong term for a lawyer.

"this sucks" they said

I work 3 jobs. I enter data at a real estate company, and work part time at 2 pizzerias.

I'm currently going to school to become a legal assistant. Apparently you have to go to school for that. I don't plan on being a paralegal for long because I have health issues with my eye and can't work in front of a computer all day.

I was going to go to school to major in history but my mom (who is a teacher) and high school history professor asked me if I wanted to starve to death when I told them my plans.

I don't deal with them. I don't even correct them. I don't have time for it. I have bills to pay.

Why do we delivery drivers smoke so much weed? I burn 7 grams every 3 shifts.

Work in a call center doing customer support for a shitty coffee maker/company. I hate it and I'm absolutely miserable but I have no other job options. The ironic thing too is that I'm pretty fucking good at my job and making sure peoples' issues get resolved and turning around pissed off customers. I just hate every second of it. Thankfully it's been slow the last few months so I can get some reading done inbetween calls.

I want to go back to school but I feel too old (31 with no college at all) and the only local community college only has a single American history course.

I am currently a librarian at a mental hospital, and we have a stunningly terrible non-fiction section. I try to tell the library director to get more history books but to not much success.

I just graduated college, kinda afraid of what to do next. I was one of the best history majors at my school, and wrote a thesis on actually something rarely studied in English (Russian monasteries in the 1700s). All my professors think I should go for the PhD, but I'm scared I won't get a job or be able to support the family I want with it.

The fear, Veeky Forums, the fear.

because you're fucking bums

You could always just keep up the job and come back to the PhD part time with a bit of cash behind you

"This sucks!"

I'm a phdfag, byzantine history.
Probably I'll post as a NEET after I finish my Thesis

I work at my uni's library. It's really a pleasure because I run a machine that grabs boxes of books from the main storage. It's like a 4 story room with a giant mechanical grabber and I just sit at my console and run it all day. Then I'm donee with work and go upstairs to study

Oh.

That's funny.

I work part time at the Louvre museum.

Every time I go on the great pyramid place, I see one chinese marriage and lame tourists taking always the same picture, by pointing the eiffel tower and playing with the perspective.

also the restricted underground infrastructure looks like this base from the first austin powers movie, and there is kind of golf cars too

teacherman here

i hate my department chair

apparently content is not important anymore only the skills you teach kids

I'm a paralegal but I have to look for a new job because I rarely get hours now that my boss ended our contract with the county.

Apparently 10k a month wasn't enough wasn't enough for him...

I teach German in a private language school, I throw in a historical anecdote here and there but most of my students are 8-18 year old who are forced to be there by their parents, they don't give a damn

Architect
I spent my early 20s making sure I was set for life, I wouldn't recommend this

Suicide consultant.

I'm a historical park guide for kids (school season's almost over, goodbye hours), and work evenings/weekends at a used book store. Too much of my income goes into buying used books there, my "to-read" pile is now 24 book and growing. There are worse problems to have, I suppose; someone brought in some water damaged books from 1899 (just the covers, thankfully) about the recent acquisitions of the Spanish-American War and just gave them to me for free once I told them we wouldn't buy them.

I'm trying to get into more museum work and get on a career track for museum/public history education, but it's difficult. I need to work around at museum odd jobs a lot, then go back to school for a masters in museum admin/curation/science/etc. There's a lot of paying your dues and working your way up the ladder, and not a lot of places to start doing it. Anyone else going for museum work around here? Any tips?

I work at the gas stations

i work mostly construction/factory jobs, or gardening, and sometimes sell grass & mushrooms on the side

a year ago i worked for this restaurator firm, did historic building facades and stonework, learned tons, but the boss was a loony bastard, his son even crazier, both into some ezotheric shit, gurdijeff and such, hardly took care of the machinery(think they might have considered us machinery)

then i worked for an actual reastaurator dept., cleaning baroque fresques and such, good work, good pay

the gov. cut costs on culture spending this year so i dont meet the budget but im gonna go work in a icecream factory in a week or so... or wish me luck

LONG LIVE THE PROLETARIATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PIČKA VAM MATERINA REAKCIONARNA

TAKO JE BRATE

! JELTAKO-TAKOJE !

Gde si radio restauraciju?
Zvuči zanimljivo

ma zagreb, zagorje

ovo službeno u podravini, ovo na crno uokolo, nesmiem ni pričat, projekti su, pare i to

naš kakvih treba sam sreo uokolo, majketi...

jbg žao mi je što si izgubio taj posao, zvuči kao dreamjob čak i sa retardiranim šefom.

gde si sreo trebe, na poslu? nisam znao da ih tako nešto zanima

i bio je, učio svaki dan neš korisno i novo, žao mi je više posla i ljudi nego plače, takitak na crno bilo

ma joj, na poslu, uokolo, odi koji put ovako iz zajebancije u tipa krapinu, varaždin, samobor pa da ih vidiš, briješ da su ove vlaine i hercegovke kaj se skupe po bestu nešto, jesu kurac, a još dok vidiš studentice kaj rade stobom na skeli dok si pri zavodu

al ono, nisu to neke priče... kaj na koncu nisam ni broj izvuko, ko pravi forčanovac

ubijse

puši kurac

nikad nisam bio u Hrvatskoj, osim jedan dan u Dubrovniku, ne bi bilo loše otići tamo, ali realno prošao bih s curama kao ti, nisam džaba na 4chanu

mrs preko drine cetniku komunisticki

I work retail and it's alright.

>go to school for History
>get told on orientation day that a degree in History isn't what you need to teach in California
>look at the reqs for what you do need and say fuck that
>switch to Film and drop out a semester later

End my life.

butcher

I work retail and it's shit. I'm quitting at the end of June so I can have about a month off before I ship off to grad school in philosophy.

Maybe not the best financial decision one can make, but the school is paying my tuition and fuck you I like talking about the intersection between linguistics and philosophy.

I'm counting the days until I'm out of this soul draining, monotonous job so I can argue semantics with people that know what semantics actually is.

>Studying film in California
HAHAHA OH WOW. You could literally go to any studio and ask to be the bitch boy and get way further than any degree would get you.

Yes?

>tfw I work as a historic analyser for a company and get to read about ww2 all day long

feelsgoodman.jpeg

Please tell me how to acquire such a job.

I'm a cook, and I don't really have any dreams (nothing grand anyway; I'd like to own property some day, have some comfortable savings, and be able to retire in peace). My interest in philosophy has mostly been an attempt to find a sense of peace and meaning, and it's been only a partial success.

He's lying lmao

How does one become a cook?

>I apprenticed in england (im a texas fag)

How'd you manage that? I'm in Texas too.

My contract's up, sadly, but up until recently I had a comfy job as a research assistant for identifying first and second world war dead. It was really neat work.

I work nights in a hotel (3 twelve hour shifts a week). I plan to quit in a few months and try to leave the country, I just wanted to save a little money while I stay at home. I shift between hating my job and thinking meh, it isn't that bad.

>I'm a historical park guide for kids

How'd you get that job?

I work in an office at an air conditioning duct factory.
Work doesn't require a lot of thinking so I listen to history lectures and audiobooks on the job A LOT. My history interest gets channeled into the podcast I do with my old highschool buddy and Veeky Forums.

Apply for a job. I started with literally no experience and they trained me from scratch. Start small, pubs are a good bet.

I taught English abroad for a year in Russia after graduating college, then came back to the US and found an opportunity teaching as a tour guide at a historical park close by my folks' place (had to move back home because lolnomoney after the ruble crashed). They liked my skill set from teaching English and my history degree.

So I guess I'd say just luck in finding the park and skills acquired in other jobs. The dream is to work for the educational department of some public history institution, be it a museum or park or company. I'd kill for the number of hours you get at that hotel. I'm still a few years away from a salaried position in this field I'd imagine, and that's even if I can find a position in the first place.
