What's your job?

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Luthier.  I'm self-employed, so I don't talk much about anything, let alone atheism, during work.  When I do talk, it's usually limited to comments like, 'Where the fuck did I put that gouge?'

Boru

Guitars, violins, obscure string instruments like lutes and dulcimers, or all of the above?

Primarily guitars and mandolins, but I've also built theorbos, lutes, pennywhistles, bodhrans, and (once) a wood-hammered dulcimer.

Security guard.

It's low paid but on the plus side I work with some cool people so I can just chat, laugh, watch YouTube, play computer games and walk in the countryside all day.

Professional Cringe Troll.

My last job was being that little admin assistant in the office who everyone dumps the shit jobs they don't want to do on. I was basically a glorified filing clerk.

Yknow, something glamorous.

The office was modern and plush as fuck though

[Angrboda]

I'm disabled and retired. I haven't worked since 1993. But when I did last work, I was an office temporary, specializing in word processing and spreadsheets.

[RoadRunner79]

Electrical Engineer for an industrial contractor. I specialize mostly in building and troubleshooting machine controls (automation). I get to do go into field quite a bit (get dirty), do programming of PLCs and operator interfaces, CAD work, and work with a lot of good people to build new things. There are a lot of small industrial companies that rely on us, for all their electrical troubleshooting, and I get to see a lot of good and bad designs, which makes me better. I also get called in and see a lot of the unusual problems (even for places that have good people). I think this gives me a different approach, then those who only see these things once every year or two.

I love it, but it is also stressful, and often involves long hours. Sometimes I think of looking for something simpler, but it is also rewarding, when the machine is done and working well. Or when I am able to fix something the OEM could not.

Nothing better than digging into a high-risk technical problem and coming up with an answer that saves people in some way or another. If you fail, the result can be catastrophic. That adds zest to a job, I can tell you!

Fulltime witch & [REDACTED]

By REDACTED you actually mean baking mean waffles, don't you?

[Vincent]

I'm a stocker/truck unloader at Walmart. I hate it. 

In my defense, I'm 20 years old, and attending college. I only get paid $10 an hour, but it helps pay the tuition bill.
