How many jobs have you had?

[Telekinetic-Potato]

I've always been kinda proud of my work history. I've been everything from a landscaper to a cook to a photographer, producer. Did music production and recording engineering. Some mechanic work, then I was selling cars, then I was a shop manager which is kinda like a sales job and you're in charge of a bunch of mechanics and techs. I've done a ton of other stuff but those ar the things I was really good at.

I always wanted to get into psychological research. My neighbor at my old apartment was leading a team researching the science of how our bodies move and I'd listen to this guy talk for hours haha. I don't think I would have been helpful though. It didn't sound very intuitive for someone who didn't live and breath that stuff like me.

I'm getting older so I have to stay on one or two things so that's cars and I'm working on starting a new production company right now. I still do music work here and there since my friend has a little studio and he'll rent it to me cheap.

I dunno, lots. Started working at 15, worked as a fishing guide at 17 that was seasonal work so always had at least one winter job to fill in usually doing something in the trades. Been working as a tug captain for 5 years now and hope to keep at it

[worldscolide]

In the last 12 years 1.. Prior to that my jobs never lasted more than a year so 10

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Do you work for yourself or at an office?

[worldscolide]

I work in enterprise IT. as a systems architect

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Ohhh shit. That's pretty cool. My dad does something close. he's the director of it for... We like to call it the spam email business but they call it marketing. Lots of sql. Sometimes I don't understand how they send out so many emails on the same servers for so long.

[worldscolide]

Nice

[DryGermanGuy]

I had 20 or so different projects, but all within the general IT profession.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

It is pretty diverse in of itself. I tried to learn programming and almost killed someone trying to figure out the janky css and bootstrap apps on this html website template.

Then I tried to write an app for making "choose your ending" stories and all I knew how to do were if/else stuff and that got very messy very quickly... that's when I said it's not for me 😂

[DryGermanGuy]

Programming has the steepest learning curve in the whole industry, for certain.

[Iron_Man]

Were you a garbage man and work for the county or a bus driver

[Telekinetic-Potato]

No, but my brother did work for our towns dpw. I have anger issues that early in the morning haha. Though I'm trying to find an hourly for the next 7 or 8 months so that's actually a good avenue to look down

[Iron_Man]

Good

[Fatal96]

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Ya it's pretty bad rn I've never seen so many people struggling before.
