Sup Veeky Forums, what kind of jobs do you guys have? Also, any trade school bros around here...

I'm a junior physician, but since I'm in central Europe the pay is shit.

It's the definition of a desk job. Gained 5kg this year before I realised i need to change my eating habits and exercise more.

Eh, it's fairly easy I mean the pay range from 30/hr and up, 30 being on the low end spectrum of course

I'm a mover, I make about 17.50

Front-End engineer at a startup in berlin making around $80k plus bonus and working 20 hours per week

I'm a parole officer.

Sick really? What kind of shit do you deal with

Piss tests mostly

Not much these days. Since the election half of my cases have disappeared. I'll let you guess why.

That means you suck off refugees at the front door, so they don't come in and rape the government mandated female programmers, right?

Could I get that last bit in english, please?

Bullshit, you already said you have a job. Therefore, you can't be Syrian. Checkmate Ivan.

Full time student, part time bartender. I'm currently working on getting my Network+ certification, and I already have my A+ certification.

i just obtained my licence couple of weeks ago, im gonna attempt to get an anaesthesia/ic residency in Germany or Austria.

No, you literally sit in front of a camera and deal cards on the table. youtube.com/watch?v=DrwpUDKGdIU

Bout to finish my masters degree, so uh.. nothing yet.

I chuck boxes at UPS. It's a pretty good job with a union, but it's horrible for my gains.

I got both my A+ and Net+ certs in Highschool, how does it feel to be such a faggot?

I literally sit around and shitpost on Veeky Forums and occasionally the same three older and/or black employees come to me asking for help with something that I just google the answer for.

I got a college education for this shit.

Welders are retarded tough guys. Wear your PPE and ignore the faggot jokes and you'll be fine.

The trades are a great route, especially if you have the balls to strike out on your own and start your own shop.

Biotech. Work for chemical engineering companies n shit. Job is pretty cool and the people are very laid back. If you're getting a degree, look into this field. Good money and you'll be set up nicely.

lol no one was going to assume you're indian, but the fact that you had to say (not indian) lets us know that you are indeed an indian.

POO IN LOO YOU FUCKING PAJEET LOL

>on Veeky Forums
>calling others faggot

I'm 25, going back to school for mechanical engineering after dropping out when I was 21

I'm gonna make it

Does anyone here work in a desk job? I'm tired of working with high school kids and I'm tired of working in retail stores. I'm just too old for that shit. I'm thinking of getting a job in a pharmacy as a clerical work. I'll be doing paper work and looking at a computer all day.

I know it sounds like hell, but its better than retail, right? I mean the desk job will open up more doors for me, r-right?

anything is better than retail

a desk job is fine as long as you can workout after or before

if you do nothing a desk job is pure hell

Correctional Officer at a maximum security prison. Sometimes love it, sometimes hate it.

Optician
About the highest paid one is ever gonna be in a retail position
I've got the experience and credentials under my belt if I wanted to up my pay grade and work in a lab, but 2bh the appeal of working with glasses was mostly spending the majority of my work hours shitposting on Veeky Forums.

Ex military looking for a new trade and training my ass off in the meantime with all this free time. Living off my savings.

I'm a spraypainter

its pretty cool

Hvac project manager.

What do you like about it, what do you dislike about it?

Data Analyst

I don't like the term because it is too broad but there isn't a better one to capture what I do

How does one switch careers post 30 anyway?
I fucking hat my job.

I'm an underqualified CEO that took over my Dad's Electrical Engineering company when his health started deteriorating

Hitting on MILFs and customer's girlfriends is always fun though.

Welding fucking sucks my dude

That would be tough. Especially with Engineers, collectively the most arrogant group of people alive.

Any other cohort and you could work towards building trust by utilizing their input but still independent making decisions. But with Engineers...maybe you can memorize a train timetable and they'll be impressed

I work in the HVAC sheet metal trade. Where did you start and how did you become a pm?

Highschool student planning on learning sql and python and hopping in a programming job. Then it would be ideal to learn some networking and go into infosec. Any tips?

>building trust by utilizing their input but still independent making decisions

Managing technical people without being technical yourself doesn't work very well.

Go to college. Double major in CS and Math.

You can thank me later.

Don't do webdev kids. There is stuff way less soul-sucking out there.

Apply to uni and get a degree on a desired field. Then you start from the bottom like 20-somethings that are in their first career. You may or may not progress faster because of your past experience and (hopefully) more mature attitude.

Don't know how this works in other countries but in Finland it's changing careers is pretty easy if you are willing to put in work.

I also was thinking about engineering but I havent touched math, physics and chemistry in well over three years and I dont want to risk approx 2 years trying to learn them primarily because its not sure i'll get the hang of them

I'm pretty technical myself, but I just don't have the 10 years of experience under my belts like the most people I manage do.

So for the time being I try to be on the field as much as possible, it just pains me when I see that there isn't much I can do that adds value

It happens all the time. You don't need to understand all of the technical details of a project to manage it. The technical people have a responsibility to present their work in a digestible manner so that decisions can be made about it.

It would be absurd to have the situation be different. You could never have specialist knowledge in any teams.

Why did you leave?

Depending on how shit you are at math you can try and brush up before hand or be a part time student somewhere and do an intro math class to catch up. 100 level chem and physics are a joke and cover lots of what you learned in high school.

>lots of what you learned in high school.
Yeah thats the problem. The 3 years I was talking were the 3 years of highschool

If you aren't completely retarded you should be fine with the intro physics and chem and actually studying. You will need to catch up on your math though since you'll be missing a large chunk of the prerequisite knowledge. It won't be impossible, you'll just have to try harder than your average student, do catch up classes or see if you can do your program over 5 years or summer classes instead.

I've got a desk job.
It's pretty good, personal office/very broad supervision/slightly below average pay (au$56k) but with full benefits & good coworkers.
I try and work out at least 3 times a week and my build is very very slightly built

Army, enlisted nurse (LPN)

Nursing is kind of terrible for gains, depending if youre in an office or on the wards. In a hospital, you're walking like 7 miles a day, have no lunch time, and the stress hormones are a flowing. Good for burning calories though.

Outpatient is cushy and easy as fuck.

Very satisfying though desu
