What do you do for a living?

[LonesomeLamp]

Unemployed. I worked a brief amount of time as a plumber, helping them to catch up on work orders. I would love to go back to that. Soon afterward, I got a job in a fast food restaurant. That was fun for a little bit, but then I started hating every moment I had to be there. I left and am now making money from whatever small jobs I can get, which has mostly been electrical work on what I have termed the “nightmare camper.”

I advise some of the world’s biggest companies on what to do. It’s good practice for bossing around littles and toddlers.

[Wowpally]

And before that was in fire/ professional EMS for 15 years

I use a magic rock to turn water into steam that makes a turbine go roundy roundy which results in a gross output of 1.21 gigawatts of electricity to the grid. 

Huh. I used to do that, just on an aircraft carrier. Strange times. Now I'm just a student.

I work with graphic arts and showcases. Mainly clothing and seasonal wears. Remember the old Sunday papers when you had all those small magazines with clothing advertisements. Well thats what I do. Now its more in advertisement and drawn. No more models. And many are now hand drawn and put into graphics. I also do the big show windows in midtown manhatten. When people say they are going window shopping, I am the one that sets up the windows. Its fun work and have been doing it many years.

Custodial is good work. Just look at that job security all over the floor.  I used to do that job too, from '77 to '90.

[steve in diaps]

That's why I chose custodial,  you have to be a total screw up to get fired and I'm an essential worker. Plus all the benies to go with it. And it adds to my retirement. I just have to put up with little messy monsters ?.  That's job security.
