Are you employed?

Update, I'm going to change the firma I work in... Finally!!!

It seems a good company, I need to relocate and the salary is good enough, with good chances to grow up there. Just perfect...
I'm very happy and excited about it

 

I'm currently a full time politics student in the process of taking up a candidacy to run in the 2020 election

 

Well, I'm a full time student and I work part time at an aquarium on weekends. On winter break I work more days at the aquarium. And on summer break, I work more at the aquarium, volunteer with the husbandry department, and clean houses on my days off.

 

Well it looks like nobody is retired on EC.

 

I've been unemployed since xmas, and I'm very happy about it. In autumn I worked in a horrible shop: I had no breaks, I didn't get along with my co-workers, I was often alone in the shop and in charge of everything for many hours, lots of junkies came in and stole stuff. I hated every day, woke up in the morning and cried cause I had to work and came home crying cause I had to go there again tomorrow. So I left that and found another job that lasted only for december though and since that I have been unemployed.

Anyway, I still wake up every morning with a smile on my face and I'm so happy I don't have to work in that shop anymore. If I had stayed in that work place I probably wouldn't be here writing this.

 

Your revolution is over mr lebowski, condolences, the bums lost!

No I'm unemployed :icon_sad:

I have a decentish engineering degree though, something will come up I'm sure

 

I work at a law firm. Going on 7 years.

 

I am only 14, so I haven't looked for a job yet. I will start looking soon, but I am in no rush

 

I gotta say that any internet group is a bit skewed, since we all have internet access (i.e., internet access => (some level of means OR some level of resourcefulness) => greater likelihood of employment than the general population).

 

Gotta recover and go back to college before even thinking about finding a job

 

my contract is set to expire in less than a year from now. after that it's a very scary unknown for me.

 

No I'm not, Finding work around here is hard. :tantrum:

 

Working a pretty awesome job.

 

Yes I'm employed, I work full time and I love my job. I work in an estate agents and mainly deal with sales

 

I have two jobs, both animation. One I work from home though. I have a quota of frames to get done so I can spread my work time out a bit.

 

One of my family friends pays me to teach their kid how to play the trombone and piano

 

I'm employed. On the one hand, my boss and coworkers don't know I'm gay (my love life/lack thereof isn't something I discuss in a work environment obviously) but on the other hand they would most likely not care. My city is pretty progressive and I think discrimination based on sexuality is highly looked down upon. Most of my gay friends have jobs and those who don't aren't actively seeking them. However, I feel that it's a different story for my gender-nonconforming friends who are judged by people from the moment they walk through the door

 

Yes. I have a career.

 

Not yet, but I'm not tripping about it at my age. I have done things for pay before though, mostly tutoring.

 

Underemployed, as I'm working a call center job despite having a master's degree. (No, it's not in the humanities or social sciences.)

I do kind of like what I do, as I am providing a valuable service for a disadvantaged group, and knowing that I'm having an immediate positive effect on their lives is definitely gratifying. The job has decent benefits - very casual dress code and work atmosphere being among them - though the wage is (obviously) pretty low. I haven't succeeded at getting a promotion as of yet :icon_redf despite being there for almost 3 years, though I've gotten very close.
