I work in construction, but my prowess would probably be better suited for computer-related wizardry.

Oh, and try and survive my marriage.

I work at a comic shop. My boss is pretty sweet, he gives each of us 5£ of store credit on holidays and birthdays. My birthday comes the day after BoTG is released, so I can't wait.

Working full time at a humane society as general kennel staff. Minimum wage is the poopoo, but it works because there is a chance that if I don't move up in the ranking, I'm going back to school in the fall. Graduated HS and took the year off. But! Here is to hoping I move into a higher position here. The people are awesome and apparently the managerial pay is pretty sweet (for what they do.)

The alone time is definitely not bad, if you can cope. There's a few people on my crew that jut hate their jobs, I one the other hand don't mind the long stretches, it allows me to think about a lot of stuff. I've also been able to write a little more music lately, which is nice. My boss is a real good guy too. There's been better jobs but hey, pays the bills and it's full time, no complaints here.

Unlike some of the other mods who've figured out that this line of work pays piddly😉, I'm still teaching (1st & 2nd). Frankly, I love the creative freedom. And the piles of free drawings and handfuls of melty candy canes are pretty rad too.

That's my favorite part about it. The alone time lets me think. I also got set up with a 401K and they pay 2/3 of my health insurance. That's pretty rad.

@Langku: I loved it when I was doing it, even though I wasn't in a permanent classroom. I just didnt get called enough. I think in the two semesters I did it, I only worked a full week maybe once. The pay may not be fantastic, but I'm a minimalist. Just give me enough money to pay bills and I'm golden. Working three days a week on average didnt even give me that.

I work part time providing Bwhavioral therapy to children  and adults with autism or other developmental delays. (I love the work and the pay is awesome too). In addition, I'm a full time grad student working on my MS in Marriage Family Therapy. Only one year to go 😂 then I hope to work full time as a counselor and perhaps part time doing the ABA work, I really do enjoy it that much.

Speaking of which I have to leave for work 😅 Bai!

Deli clerk undergoing manager training. School fell through so I never went to college, but I have great work ethic (compared to nearly everyone else this gen. It seems). I don't want to do this honestly but it fell into my lap and it's good pay. However my boss is miserable, so yeah. Unsure where to go from here, would love to get out of food service completely.

I know the feel. My wife drives a GMC Terrain and it needs a special socket to remove the oil filter. Spending the extra $20 to take it somewhere to have it done is almost worth saving banged up knuckles and curse words I get by changing it myself. Almost.
