I work in a grocery store.
I take in and set merchandising, serve customers, receive providers, etc.

Neither. I'm unemployed and looking for work. But when I am working, I do data entry, cos my typing speed is like 115 words per minute. I like it cos it means I don't have to interact with people, I am not a customer service person :lol

I teach English in the special needs department of a secondary school. I work with kids who’re unable to cope in the classroom, mainly. The pay is shit but the job is fun.

I also write freelance for a couple of magazines. Again, the pay is shit but I like doing it. I do it less and less these days, though, because it’s tine consuming.

I worked as a janitor for the local senior center for the past two years. They decided to take up a company that had dedicated cleaning equipment (waxers and the like) so I lost that. I did get a job offer yesterday to be a bagger at a grocery store, but I also was told 5 years ago by the same company that I was accepted but they never followed up on it, so I'm not counting my chickens till they hatch.

I'm currently doing random work for people around the area, its mostly cutting wood for older people who can't do it anymore. I also do basic handyman stuff like repair/move things, paint walls, help with renovations etc. With winter coming I'll probably work on heating systems or bathrooms which I look forward to, I am sick of cutting wood and doing yardwork. Other jobs I worked were:

- Caretaker at the zoo
- Patient transport at the hospital
- Butcher
- Morgue Attendant
- Exterminator

This is what you get for drinking and getting high instead of paying attention at school

I work as a substitute teacher when I'm able. Primary/elementary, Kindergarten to Year 6 in Australia. I have Cerebral Palsy and am unable to work full time, I get really bad bouts of pain and fatigue. I tried to push through and work on a full time contract- funnily enough, out of the area I'm trained in, worked as a high school maths teacher. Basically learnt on the job and I really enjoyed it- much different dynamic working with teenagers vs. little kids, I was low key terrified to start but I built up a really good rapport with my students even though I only lasted 8 weeks altogether. I could feel myself getting weaker and weaker as the weeks went by and it wasn't just regular tiredness and soreness. I collapsed going down the stairs after a parent/teacher night and had a micro-sleep on the freeway driving home- very nearly went up the back of a truck driving 100km an hour. That's when I had to accept a reality I had been struggling with since the very first job I had as a teenager- I couldn't work full time with my condition.

These days, I generally cap myself at three days a week. It means I'm not as financially well off as I'd like to be, but it's enough to get by.

I work for an engineering firm. I mostly sign off on projects done by other engineers that work here. I make sure the calculations are valid, models are detailed enough for customer approval / for production to make. Also make sure on the production side of things to make things as simple as possible for them to help minimize the cost. The worst part of my job is when I have to do a cost analysis of the project and run it by the owner of the company. Sales are typically the ones who are on the monetary side of things. It is never fun to go to the owner when the analysis when the costs to produce is great / close to the selling price. Part of the job though.

A Auto Body Technician

I got lucky and got accepted into a High School Trade. Only 15 students got to go do this trade in this school and I got in somehow.

9th to 12th grade they taught us how to fix dents, paint cars, fix scratches and all that fun shit. Our teacher who knew people in the business got us jobs.

I really am lucky, I know people who went to college and can't get jobs because they don't have a certain number of years in the job or they don't know people in the job.

I would not say I am employed. I am a self employed gig worker. I am a multi instrumentalist but mainly a guitar player and I play for hire. My specialty is Christian music. I am actually going on tour in October with a band. I also do like online research surveys in my spare time for some beer money. That's about all I do. I probably should get a "real" job.
