Ask Lemmy

Quality Director for a multinational manufacturing company

I'm a case manager for a local org that supports people with intellectual disability. I like my job, I set my own hours, and even if there was no profit motive it would still need to be done. My only complaint is where I brush up against the capitalistic intersection, so the county is our funder and they really pinch every penny compared to, say the sheriffs' office.

I work at a shipyard servicing and rebuilding engines.

Intermediate CS teacher

Grumpy sound guy.

Engineering

Quality manager in a plastic extrusion manufacturing facility.

I'm a psychiatric RN out in the community. I work with people who have thought disorders like schizophrenia at their homes or under the bridges.

Solar installer, I put solar panels on things and get them working. Recently my company got a reputation for competence with floating solar arrays so we've been traveling to build and fix them all over the country. Electricity and water is a fun combo.

I teach kids how to do physics, and how to write about doing physics.

Realtor and brand and marketing consultant for our brokerage. Not the astronaut or veterinarian I pictured myself as a kid. But still, I’m happy :)

I was/am a compositor/vfx artist for film and tv, but the industry has imploded over the last year so it's been a few months.

I sell gold and silver over the phone.

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

I'm a product development engineer in the biomedical industry. Although from what I read it seems I should have taken a few extra courses in school and gone into software engineering. However I do still enjoy my work (not more than not having to work, but still.)

Maintenance, transitioning into automation tech.

My primary job is IT, but I am starting a farm and worked on one as a teenager.

UPS delivery

Emergency humanitarian response program planning/monitoring/evaluation with a UN agency.

Healthcare

Watch the mentally disabled. Most of the time they just need a friend so I get paid to hangout with em. Just gotta make sure they get their meds and food on time. Hell a few weeks ago I got paid to go to a baseball game cause he wanted to go.

Quality control chemist testing pharmaceuticals. Most of what we do is for clinical trial use and research purposes. It's been a good job.

CNC machining. It's manufacturing; I work with titanium, inconel, and on occasion steel.

I manage a service engineering team for semiconductor equipment.

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.

Acquisitions manager for a library

I don't really have a title, but I work in a factory.

Go to college kids. Fuck the expense, you still get many more opportunities that a factory scumbag like myself does not. If you don't know what you want or what you're capable of, who cares. Go anyway for anything and you'll meet people who you can network with and you'll be exposed to classes and topics you might not ever have considered. I'm the only scumbag failure in my friend group who didn't go to college and I'm the only loser working in a literal sweat shop while they all work from home with very nice salaries and wives/husbands they met at college. I'm still single.

Go to college.

HSE consultant: I teach people how not to be in the next Darwin Awards
