    Still waiting for my dream job of Jennifer Lawrence's (otherwise gay) trophy husband, so while I wait I work for a staffing agency that mostly works in the tech field

    I'm a full-time student, but I also work for my university's ITS (Information tech. services) department during the school year.

    Oh no, I didn't mean to make it sound that way lol. It's fun for me...I wouldn't want to do anything else :slight_smile:
    Teaching isn't for everyone, but it's where I feel most comfortable.

    No, you didn't make it sound not fun. I'm glad you enjoy it. I just can't imagine teaching high schoolers to be very fun. It's good that you enjoy it though.

    I'm tutoring college students over the summer, but before I was working on my dissertation I taught English at the University level. Now I'm trying to find permanent employment, which is not as easy as it sounds...

    Thanks :slight_smile: Yeah, teaching high school isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I prefer it to teaching little kiddos. I can't imaging teaching elementary haha. Little kids are cute, but they drive me a little crazy haha. Plus, I like teaching just one subject; with elementary, I would have to teach all subjects (which I'm not good at doing). Math is not my bag, but I can teach English all day.

    I build trains.
    more specifically, I produce electrical wiring for trains. I'm mostly responsible for doors, lights, brakes and wi-fi (not sure why, but it's a funny thing to do).
    I'm a blue-collar worker, so it's me who does all these funny things with cables, like assembling plugs and connectors and all these things. thanks to this I know how to make d-sub connectors from zero.
    before this, I used to build control cabinets, also for trains, but I didn't like it as much as I like my current job. my learnt profession is IT technician, and surprisingly it's very useful in my job :grin:

    Duuuuude that sounds like the coolest job in the world.

    Personally, I hope to do something like this, but with rockets instead of trains.

    I'm working as a nurse.

    That's an interesting job you have! Awesome! I rarely go to a hardware store or an auto store, but when I do, it's like stepping in disney land for the first time :open_mouth::open_mouth:

    There are days for sure! Most of the time people are great and I am more than willing to work with them and help any way I can. Then there are the people that call from the casino and want me to write off their balance...
