I'm an endlessly adjuncting philosophy professor. Going back to law school in the fall at age 38.
I am an accountant and prepare financial reports.
Engineering.
I helped design large-ish electrical grids. 30-100k cables
Without the actual calculation bits, unfortunately.
Not very interesting. Bad software. Management didn't really care about the problem. I was there so the problem was "managed" from their point of view.
I teach kids how to do physics, and how to write about doing physics.
I’ve heard it said physics is a critical part of education because it teaches reasoning based on simple rules that aren’t up for debate.
I never considered how physics writing could serve the same role in terms of scientific precision in writing.
Telecoms project engineer.
I supervise and co-ordinate the roll out of FTTH networks.
Commercial Real Estate Lending - Portfolio Management. I monitor loans for losses and collect periodic financial statements. I hate it. I used to do business loan underwriting and trying to get back into that. Had a dream job lined up but ended up failing the background check because of a bankruptcy 6 years ago.
I work at a shipyard servicing and rebuilding engines.
I'm an industrial alpinist
Healthcare. I'm the senior Pharmacy Tech for our little independent psych pharmacy.
Before joining healthcare, I worked both food service, and have my degree in Computer Science. I try to keep my passion of food alive in my home kitchen, and mix CS into my job responsibilities, and hobbies.
Before I worked IT, I was a job coach. I helped individuals with disabilities perform their jobs and teach them skills and all that. It was pretty cool because they sent me to all kinds of different places. I did work in a hydroponics non-profit, a senior center, a DMV, a bank, and some other places. It was pretty cool and most of the individuals I worked with were really nice and cool.
I’m an engineer in a manufacturing environment
I'm an attorney for a local government.
Quality control chemist testing pharmaceuticals. Most of what we do is for clinical trial use and research purposes. It's been a good job.
I work as a car photographer in a dealership. We sell cars online so whenever we get a new car or someone trades in their car I take pictures of all the features the car has. However when there's few cars for me to photo I'm also responsible for checking what cars are dirty. My only complaint is that I don't really care about Toyotas and I work for a Toyota dealership
Law
Oh, a bullshitter.
Did you bullshit last week?
Did you try to bullshit last week?
Note to self, don't fight this one...
