Hey b, what's your job and why do you hate it?

Hey b, what's your job and why do you hate it?

I was a web developer since 1998 and i HATE it with a passion. I quit everything about 4 years ago and now i'm a bum. But a happy bum.

I rearrange shelves for a living. How did I get away with this, you ask? Retail chains utilize advanced video capture technologies to record, analyze and even provide predictive feedback on every move you make every second you're within eyeshot of one of their cameras. This information is used to determine optimal product layouts, generate targeted advertisements and even tip off loss prevention.

After processing this data, minute changes are made periodically at almost every major retailer for every department, shelf and product facing. There are so many of these changes that they paid me and still pay thousands of other night owls and road warriors to go store to store, town to town and make these alterations for them for the price of one living wage.

We're generally reimbursed for travel and afforded a generous allowance intended to be spent on meals and other daily expenses on top of being paid an hourly sum.

For rearranging the fucking shelves and confusing the shit out of everyone.

Big brother is big business.

Wow, quite the bullshit job you got.

When I'm not being dragged around in chains, I have fun.

I'm a software dev too and, while I don't hate it, I'm dismayed I guess that I've peaked. I know I'm not going to rise higher in the company and not sure I even want to.

The career has been good to me at at my senior level, the pay is high and stress and hours are low. But I want something different now.

Been investing wisely over the years and should be able to retire pretty early. But the real question is "then what?"

All good problems to have, but need to now find something new and meaningful to do.

Corrections Officer. You guys have no idea.

I create marketing materials for big pharma companies. Pay is good but Im getting absolutely fed up. Was thinking of doing acoding bootcamp to become a web dev... until I read the second message ITT lol

Elementary school custodian.
Kids regularly shit on the bathroom floors. Full on piles of shit.

My grandmother worked at a prison in Texas that was shut down due to the conditions there. I have an idea.

gig delivery
asshole customers that blame me for the gig service sitting on their order for 2 hours before offering it to me, or for fuck ups by the restaurant even though I don't have a food handlers permit making it illegal for me to open any containers or check for order accuracy

I’ve done that in the 6th grade elementary. But instead, I smeared poop all over the toilet seat and walls by using a turd as a magic marker. Then I went and told the teacher someone else did it. The custodian must’ve been like.. just another day -sigh-

I actually don’t hate my job. I work in tech support after a 20 year career in manufacturing having to deal with unions, lazy blacks and hispanics, and Vietnamese always worrying about my next lay-off. Now I make a respectable 75K salary, off in 8 hours, and I have a desk. Feels good man.

This is why I order everything online, even my groceries. I hate stores. But I get the science of it.

Caregiver. Because old people are stubborn and illogical.

Was a research professor. You know in original Ghostbusters were Bill Murray is faking his way through an experiment for the sake of the hot chick and later on the dean fires him after stating "You seem to think science is some form of scam" While we've been fed the meme that scientists are these empirical thinkers, the vast majority of them are Bill Murrays

I'm a IT network engineer and it rocks. Most people don't exactly understand what I do and that's fine with me. I like being a specialist. The It makes good money too.

I guess the downside is having to deal with people fucking my network and/or trying shit thinking it can circumvent the system. Example is like someone plugging their personal laptop in a network port and the port being disabled until someone manually gives it a no shutdown.

And I guess it's sometimes difficult for companies to trust you with their network even though you have the right credentials.

I've bounced from retail to grocers to retail and I hate all of it. Honestly, more due to the fucking managers I end up having to deal with than any other reason. I don't even mind the customers that much, I just can't stand shitty management and ridiculous expectations. Tell me, Sup Forums, how do I get out? I just want a job where I can crunch numbers or sit at a desk and not deal with fucking shitheads. I know that might be pretty inevitable in the grand scheme, but I'd rather be a delivery driver and spend most of my work time alone than putting up with more crap from overpaid cunts telling me to work harder, better, faster, stronger.

These kids need mental help.
Or a beating.

We just use a pressure washer when kids do that.
You are the reason most of us are alcoholics.

Get a welding degree fam

Infosec engineer. I hit the big time, boys. Six-figure salary, work from home, HQ is several states away and I only travel there a few times a year...
But I feel like I'm in over my head and though I'm capable of rising to it, I'm not sure I want to anymore. I romanticized tech work for a long time and now that I've been at it for a decade and reached what some would call success, I want to do something else... Where in the fuck am I going to make this kind of money, though?
It's survivable, though. I am very personable so I always get along with teammates and they respect my insights, even if I'm occasionally a bit lacking on the technical side of things. Everyone tells me or seems to think I'm doing a great job, so it's probably a mix of imposter syndrome, fear of success, and the truth... But still.

How long would that take? I'm genuinely curious.

I'm in the same boat, mang. It doesn't get better, you top out and that's that.

My advice: cut your lifestyle and budget down to the bone, invest your cash, and go for an early retirement.

You can always get a job somewhere, but you want to become a work-optional person.

Electrician. It’s cool, there’s always something different going on, lots of unique challenges to make the day go by and a solid sense of accomplishment. My personal downside is that I’m not comfortable with heights, and sometimes we have to get up high into some shady spaces.

Sound advice for some.
The other option is to move towards becoming an architect. Those guys usually just masturbate in meetings all day, lay out general guidelines, and do fuckall else. And they get paid even better than me. Management is a no-go and honestly, days where I get working code merged into the master branch are straight feelsgoodman.jpeg; there's still joy to be found in my field. Plus I like to get fucked up in my off time and I like expensive things, so cutting my lifestyle down to nothing so I can retire at 50 and enjoy my stacks of money as a wizened old man was always a shit option to me.

I have an architect in the family, my man. My opinion, not a good way to go. School is long, exams are tough and many, and pay is pretty bad until you get to buy into your firm and become partner.

Just my 2 cents.

I don't make a six figure salary yet so I obviously don't know what I'm talking about but I want to be a network architect. Seems like a pretty demanding job too. Building a whole infrastructure from the ground up takes a lot of knowledge.

Maybe I've romantized the idea of it but as far as I know it involves more than what you make it sound like.

LOL, wait, you mean software architect. If that's the case, forget my post ;)

IT architects make €150k
It’s a very relaxed no pressure role with great perks

I meant an architect in a tech field. I never went to school to begin with and wouldn't be willing to go now, especially for something as intensive as architecture.

Networking is definitely not my forte. I'm more Linux, virtualization, containerization, and DevOps. I have the knowledge to guide, but I just don't wanna do the actual heavy lifting unless I'm tinkering for myself. It's one of those cases where the job kind of ruined a hobby for me.

Hahahaha exactly.

And just to add to your other response, you've partially romanticized it... It depends on company size and how involved the architect is in the actual work. If all he's doing is designing it and sending network admins/engis to goboy the work, then it's a pretty slick setup. Still not as easy as other forms of IT architect roles, from my vantage point.
With that said, it'll vary from company to company. From what I've seen in ten years with my own eyes, IT architects have it considerably easier than in-the-trenches engineers and with considerably more pay.

I analyze (mostly fossilized) human remains to determine age, sex, and cause of death. I also fly the department's helicopter whenever needed. I hate this job with a passion and wish to open a business instead. Preferably my own bar.

I work in a call center on a retention team for a mobile phone company. I spend my days talking to mostly nice people who I then try and sell shit to. The Indians and Pakistan mis who call are the worst, they want everything for free and talk utter shit most of the time. I love giving them shitty deals most of all. I also set peoples accounts to cancel in 2 or 3 years so one day without knowing their phones just stop working. I like to wind people up also untill they swear ai me then I just hang up. Pay is about 35k per year
