What does Sup Forums do for a living?
Me first, train conductor. Both commercial trains and freight trains. Prefer hauling people instead of goods though, better lines and less stress.
Pay is more than ok, pretty comfortable work hours and you get to see the country a lot.
So what do you do?

Warehouse worker here, it sucks.
Have you ever seen anyone jump in front of your train?
Got any stories? Whats the most interesting thing that you've run over?
Massage therapist. I basically spend six hours a day in a small box with low lights and people that don't talk much. I figure grave diggers feel similarly.

>Have you ever seen anyone jump in front of your train?
Sadly yes.. Twice.
>Got any stories? Whats the most interesting thing that you've run over?
Someone had placed around 100 cardboard boxes full of pink tissue paper on the tracks once.
That was quite odd.
People have happened twice, one of the huge downsides of this work..
Shit dude.. I read some article about traindrivers having to face suicide victims, depressing as fuck.
Mind telling the stories of yours?
>Mind telling the stories of yours?
Not much to tell but ok.
First one was about 2 years after I got the job after being a greenhorn. Was thundering through a long left bend with cliffs on the right side.
A man in his 40s walk out on the tracks, stops and stands there waiting. I blew the horn, hit the brakes but there was nothing I could do.
Second time was in August last year, beautiful summer day and everything. Was rolling through a small town that was pretty much picture perfect.
Then a woman jumped the tracks and the thud ruined my day.
Hospital Security.
I keep my eye out for bums and handle violent patients and visitors.
Pro: decent pay
Con: Hospital doesnt have shit for a budget, no vests, no handcuffs, and white uniform shirts...WHITE fucking shirts.
Also pro: 85% of the staff is female...good lord some fuckin fiiiine nurses and docs
Sounds like they really don't have it together, come on vests and handcuffs costs almost nothing..
Anyways sounds like a pretty good job. Lot's of trouble a normal day?
You can feel the thud of a body under a train?
Mailman
Pros-
Easy enough
No qualifications needed
Cons-
Boring
Too much walking
British weather
Angery dogs
Not enough hours
I was gonna say... Nurses these days... Holy shit. Most of them could go into porn and make a killing.
Yes. It's still around 50-100 kg hitting the front when you are traveling at rather high speeds.
It's a terrible feeling and the sound is even worse.
Depends on the day, welfare day is usually the craziest, for obvious reasons.
Typical day is usually spent on keeping the bums from stealing the hand sanitizer, co worker nearly got stabbed trying to take away a bottle.

Get this... You'll never have a dog problem again.

My dad is a mailman, he rides around on a yellow post-bicycle. Most common here in Sweden.

Security guard. I get paid to walk around indoors all night. Client is Facebook, so every day it's some new SJW bullshit poster on the walls.
Self employed software engineer:
Pros:
>pretty decent pay
>can keep office politics at arms length
>can work from home, which gives a lot of flexibility
Cons:
>have to be self-motivated to stay current and productive
>the older I get, the more I wish I dealt with people more than computers
I think many people in their 20s-30s would love a job like mine,
but I think you can only be a computer programmer for so long
before you burn out and need to have a job
better integrated with society.
Hhhmmm that must be nice.
They traded in our bikes for vans years ago before I started. Since then the days have gotten later and the workload is 10x bigger according to the old hands I've talked to
Might give that a look, they're generally not much more than just annoying unless they take you by surprise or bite your fingers through the letterbox
Material Control Supervisor, energy sector, South West Louisiana
$35 an hour plus per diem(living expenses for those that don't know)
0730-1800, 6 days a week currently. Never less than 50 hours a week unless it rains or you take a day off.
Check never under $2,000 a week even after taxes, insurance(family plan, wife and two kids) and 10% to the 401k.
I bring home over 100k a year. Not bad for a basic education
"Client is Facebook"
You must be contract. My condolences
Yep, now I know how niggers were treated in the 1950's.
US Airman, RAWS (Radar, Airfield, and Weather Systems)
I ensure that just about anything electronic on the airfield is working. This ranges from air traffic radars and landing systems to the freaking printer in the tower. My focus right now is on radars, and I even help maintain one of the national weather service's weather radars.
All in all, pretty nifty job. Gets pretty boring when nothing is breaking though. Preventative maintenance is piss easy (literally read the instructions and have a basic understanding of the systems and electronics). But hey, it pays 80k per year starting on the outside so if I need to fall back on something, there it is.
That picture looks so german.
hentai artist. love my job, but after 5 years it's starting to get a little lonely.

Are you a conductor or engineer? I'm a conductor and you mention hitting the brakes. Plus you posted a picture of where the engineer sits. just curious.
Hehe it's southern/middle Sweden.
Sounds to me like they have their shit perfectly together seeing as a) the chances of that guy actually needing a bullet-proof vest in a hospital setting is something like 1 in 5 million and b) they don't want to get sued when the dumbass cuffs someone seeing as he's not LE it would be something along the lines of kidnapping.
In short guy's the same level as some rando Wal-Mart loss prevention guy looking for shoplifters he's nowhere near being a cop and the hospital doesn't want to risk giving cuffs to a dumbass. It's not a cost analysis thing at all.
Worked as P.A. in numerous hospitals for my first 4 years.
>>wrong gps instructions
>"in 200m turn right"

Fuck.

I get paid to do office work. Its pretty cool, considering I work alongside some really intelligent and well spoken people.
While getting my college degree I used to work at Starbucks.
Lucky you.
If you feel so bad about how you are treated,
why are you dumping on the "SJW bullshit"?
Stop being so fake-macho butthurt and realize
that a lot of this progressive movement is designed
to make your life better, not worse.
There's a reason they have high-paying white collar day jobs
while you roam the deserted hallways at night like a zombie,
being treated like a black from the 50s.

You're an engineer in the states. Conductor is the guy next to you pulling pins and getting switches. Still the same brotherhood though. Conductor from the states wishing you well.
Made my fortune by hard work and good luck, retired early, do what I want, when I want. Currently driving a lorry for a fifth of what
I can command. Why? Because I made my fortune by hard work........
obvious bait
Thanks mate.
I work in a vape shop.
The line to suck my dick is to the left

What is a vape shop? Why is there a line to suck your dick?
I'm a train driver. go conduct my train motherfucker.
also, don't pull air unless you have to. makes the conductor feel uneasy when you do it unexpectedly.
no engineer would call themselves a train driver, scrub.

Youtuber/streamer.
Reached 48k subs last week.
Pays better than my engineering job did.
I don't care what I go by as long as I get my £69000 basic.
48k subs
That's making you money already?
I sell vapes for a living.
Vaping is associated with the homosox rather strogly thus a line to suck dick is happening
I hear ya, 140k US a year here. Love the money I make with no college degree.
I make glasses.
There's lead, and shitty machines.
Started making money around 9k. It's the views that matter and how much ads you get in.
Also streaming with donations is the big income.
Oh, ok. It's not such a big thing here in Germany. People just do it instead of cigarettes and noone really cares.
What's your subject and target audience?
Thats what its for really, quit thanks to it and became a hobby.
I'm not baiting at all. If you weren't a dumbass you'd know hospitals are run by board of directors meaning they have investors who are looking to make a profit on their investments every 365 which means they're not going to spring for unnecessary equipment/gear.
Again hospital security is basically glorified loss prevention and don't have anywhere near the authority as actually LE. You also don't have to carry a person off in a car trunk to get a kidnapping charge it's literally holding them against their will in a particular spot when you don't have the authority to do so. This is why you often see an overlap where actual law enforcement is present at hospitals with "security guys" because they're the only ones allowed by law to the handcuffing, etc.
At best the guy could make a citizen's arrest but more than likely he'd just phone the actual cop sitting outside the hospital in a cruiser.
As far as the vests, you're dealing with (99.99999%) unarmed individuals who are just a bit frustrated in the moment so it's really a waste of money in the BoD's eyes. Even with something like "oh no a broken bottle" a vest isn't even going to stop the usual injuries that one incurs from an encounter like this unless they make vests for your arms. Nearly all cutting injuries are defensive in nature meaning it's going to be along the back of the wrists/forearms/biceps also called "defensive wounds."
This fucking retard wants to feel like he has a badass job or something so he can show off his handcuffs and vest to his mom or something when the reality is most of the time he's just giving directions through the hospital to some geriatric widow who's lost. That's the reality of the situation.
I'm a RN. Pay is pretty great considering entry level was only a two year degree when I got into it (sadly the ADN is getting phased out).
Pro: I work with a bunch of good looking women.
Con: almost everyone I work with is a woman and the drama can be maddening
Gaming comedy and competitive gaming and my audience seems to steadily stay at the 15-20 age gap.
Also done a lot of vlogs.

How do you feel about the terror wave going over Europe? If there was a bomb or whatever going off would you be running as fast as you could towards that scene?

Laborer.
Warehouse distribution.
I also pick up pennies on the ground when I see them as a side gig.
Night shift hospital pharmacist.
Pro: ok pay
Decent benefits
7 days on 7 days off schedule
Cons: just barely ok pay
Schedule can be a grind
Coworkers are like demanding wives
How the fuck do you get a job like that?
What is your actual job, what does it include?
Any real concern about your job being replaced within say 10-15 years by autonomous veichles?
>Army Soldier
>paid extra to jump from planes
>paper pusher
> fucked over for being well...fuck you private
>don't join Army
ICT Tech and paramedic, both fun as shit, second only voluntary but quite alot.
Heavy equipment operator pay is pretty good for someone my age probably gonna move up to crane operator as I get more experience travel the state and get pretty good benefits
>Fucked over because couldn't do 20 pushups for PT test and demoted to paper pusher
FTFY
What do your vids include? Gaming?
>How the fuck do you get a job like that?
A travel company had a competition, people had to send in photos and a review of a travel destination. Two winners were picked and I was one of them. Did a simple but long review of Iceland from my vacation.
>What is your actual job, what does it include?
Writing reviews, testing out and rating hotels and activities you get in packages etc.
Pretty chill.
No not even close. The company I work for just hired 14 new people and bought 20 new trucks.
Global use of autonomous trucks is at least 30 years away. Too many kinks to fix first, not to mention the cost of upgrading to such a system.
Actually rocking mid 290s, always fucking the run by around 10-20 seconds from max.
If you are enlisted and in a Group unit you are in for a bad time.
How'd you get into working for the military? How long have you been at it to become commander?
Yep. Gaming, mostly with my friends.
Also vlogs when I'm out traveling and such.
Artistic associate/assistant professor at music academy. It's good, a lot of free time to spend on another activities, such as traveling, fooling around, or earning more money.
Is there any system that prevents you from sleeping during nights?
Just curious, i've got no one to ask this
Food/restaurant reviewer for a magazine/website.
Pay is ok, nothing special.
Still a good gig though.
What the fuck even is a "Group" unit? I can only assume you mean a Support unit or you were recycled at some point and put into some special autist unit for Gomers. If you can't even properly describe your unit there shouldn't be any surprise that you're both a paper-pusher and a private. You don't just get randomly promoted you actually have to show knowledge of and ability to lead others.
You can also volunteer at any time to join other units where you can jump out of planes all day every day on missions you just have to have 2 pieces of paper signed. Anyone in the service knows this especially in a combat unit so you blaming your loss on the Army instead of your own dumbass decisions doesn't hold water.
Damn, I'd be glad to have a job like that.
How much is that pretty decent? I currently make around $400 from home, but I could do something on the side cause it ain't that depending.
How did you get into it? Do you have a degree or just conned your way in?
I see, is there any talk about electrical trucks?
Full of shit...You claim to be a conductor but then say you were driving the train...
What company do you work for that you're allowed to move freight and passengers?
Source: Actually Conductor that has actually hit two people out there.
No just your own head.
People falling asleep has caused several derailments.
It's like truck drivers and normal drivers, a risk.
Alright sunshine. A group unit means one of the SF units. Has nothing to do with being recycled you moron, they need MOS's to fill support roles. Second of all if you knew anything about the system you would know your work is based on what MOS you choose, not whether you are good or bad, nice try though. Actually no, promotions are based on time, popularity, points, and passing a board. Many privates know more than their higher ups.
Also, no you can't just volunteer to jump from planes at any time, airborne school costs your unit money and they wont send you unless they have good reason. I got mine because I contracted with it. keep on tryin kiddo
Heavy duty mechanic. It's alright but I'd rather have a normal 9-5 job and be at home every night, I kindof do what seems to come along, whether it's shop work, service calls, or working on coal trucks at mines or oilfield sites.
Yes actually but there is still no electrical trucks good enough to last long stretches.
And far, very far from all truck stops have a charging station.
I mean I drive 3-4 days straight sometimes, re-fueling takes a few minutes. Can you imagine the time it would take to recharge the batteries necessary to power a heavy hauler across countries?
But short distance, within cities kind of trucks is already available with electrical engines.
Name?
Wasn't conductor. Was me.
But witnessed them digits.
