Emergency gas mechanic for Con Edison. We are first responders to gas leaks, Which is obviously a dangerous commodity. It's a ton of fun though Having the respect of people and The responsibility. And I meet a lot of wacky people!

I'm a chemical engineering student graduating this year. So I'll have a real job shortly :/

Good luck, sir. You're going to need it.

Delivery Driver for an Automotive Glass Company

Hey me too! Subbing doesn't pay the bills so I ditched that last year for something full time until I can become a teacher.
Oh damn! Hah that's crazy. Yeah it's a pretty sweet gig.

Same here. My boss is chill and I get to listen to music and be by myself for eight hours a day.
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.

Currently in school for welding. I plan on getting a job real quick though.

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!

You wouldn't happen to know anyone in Philly, would you. My brother is looking for someone and is having difficulty finding anyone reccomended

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.
