    iit: your job, its pros and cons
    pic related for me, im a pharm tech there

    cons:
    -angry sick people come in pissed cause their doctor charge to much, their insurance charges to much, then their insurance doesn't pay for the meds they are getting, and im the first friendly face they've seen all day, in this case friend face means "you can yell at me"

    -nobody knows what they are taking, and they tell me to fill it all

    -druggies

    -shitty hours, always understaffed

    -pretty much the pharmacists bitch

    pros:

    steady employment, what recession?

    good pay

    free knowledge via osmosis from working around meds all day, im going to school to be a pharmacist so it will be extremely helpful

    pharm tech girls are cute as hell 80% of the time.

    I worked at a pharmacy (privately owned) and I loved it, but I didn't love the customers all that much. People are douchebags when they are sick. Or need refills for shit they abuse.

    I was a clerk, and still in high school, but I worked there for quite a while. In a small town. So people knew who I was and figured I could help them out. Ha, hilarious. I don't like people that think they can take advantage of me.

    Good pay, but only once a month, which didn't bother me, I save well.

    I worked at a grocery store before that. Don't get me started... >(

    Work as a cashier/technician at a place that sells lottery tickets.

    Pay is terrible, hours are incredibly long, and the majority of the customers are douchebags, but very little actual work is involved, there's a TV across from me that plays all DirectTV channels, and I get free rein for 7+ hours a day to play DS or use my laptop as I please.

    I go to a primary school in my lunch breaks at college and help a little boy there with Cerbral Palsy :D
    Pros:
    - Children are awesome, they say what they like and don't care.
    - Everytime he sees me walk in and exclaims my name.
    - Playing tag again :D
    - Getting paid for something I'd do even if I wasn't.

    Cons:
    - No lunchtimes, so having to eat lunch quickly and no relaxing with friends.

    I worked at a small fun park as a ride attendant.

    Cons
    I had to put up with niggers from london on day trips to the beach who would try to force their kids on rides they didnt want to go on.
    I had the "my kids been let on before" even though theyre about 3 inches sort of minimum requirements.
    Have to stop the ride if someone starts crying - man the fuck up 3 year old.
    Most people who work there are chavs/filthy usually both.
    Pros:
    I got to tell stroppy adults to fuck off basically.
    Free rides
    Not much work in afternoons so you just sit around and chill talk to people etc.
    Nothing to do during breaks other than toilet/snack.
    Can play music off phones etc so long as youre watching the ride and its not too loud.
    Getting hugs from retards.
    Torturing people on rides.

    I'm going to school for Pharm tech right now, but my real goal (think childhood dream) is to become a historian or archeologist. It's just a pipe dream because getting a history degree is very expensive and doesn't guarantee me any sort of job. Hopefully within the next few years I'll make enough money working at a pharmacy to do what I want, but If I don't move back in with my parents that is not likely to happen. Being a poorfag sucks. I've written plenty of papers on history and I have a real passion for it, but It's just impossible to make a career out of it unless you're (a) incredibly talented, or (b) have richass parents who can pay for your school.

    I help my parents with their restaurant whenever I come home during the holidays, usually as a take-out bagger.

    Cons:
    My dad's an asshole to everyone, especially me.
    Huge pressure not to screw up orders whenever peak hours roll around.
    Monotonous. Seriously, it's like I'm stuck in a dimensional pocket where time slows down.

    Pros:
    Free food.
    Free soft drinks.
    Don't have to interact with customers.

    -My animals are always happy to see me, and it's nice to do manual labor

    Cons

    Part timer at Staples here.

    Cons:
    - Overworked. There's never enough people working compared to how busy we are.
    - You get the mix of rich entitlement whores and poor shits who complain about everything.
    - We're near a Jewish community. I wouldn't hate some of them if they weren't so annoying, out of touch with the rest of society and entitlement whores.
    - Back to School season. Everything about it.

    Pros:
    - Great staff and managers.
    - Decent pay and benefits.
    - Depending on how involved you are with customers, it's a good way to network.
    - I don't work in the computer section :)
    - Job security lol. As long as businesses need supplies, we'll still be here.

    I work at a music store owned (but not operated) by Guitar Center.

    Cons:

    I get paid $7.75/hour despite almost 2 years of dedicated service and a wealth of product knowledge and customer service experience.

    I get treated like a peon by our corporate management.

    People don't want to pay for shit. Ever. And they yell at me because they are unhappy about paying for things, like I can do something about it.

    We're a fucking day-care service. Parents let their annoying kids run amok in our store, and we can't discipline them or the parents get angry.

    Pros: I'm getting health benefits, steady pay, and I get a hefty discount at Guitar Center.

    I don't go into the hospitals where the procedures are performed. I have observed surgery before. shit was gross.

    We get sample implants which you can twist and stab and stamp on and they are tough as shit. I managed to break one once and all this gooey shit went everywhere. The implants have to be rough on the outside so they bond to the inside of your body.

    * not the best environment, I can't concentrate with all the people around.

    I'm basically a painter-decorator

    Pros:
    -Being able to steal shit people left behind when they moved out (last week i got a watch, a ring and a crappy tv)
    -When there's a lot of work the money's great
    -I can more or less set my own hours
    -I can drink on the job
    -I meet a lot of women
    -My boss can be great
    -It can be good exercise

    Cons:
    -When there's no work the money's non-existent
    -I get paint on my clothes/shoes/face/hair
    -My boss can be a cunt
    -If I do this for 30 years I'll still be doing exactly the same thing for exactly the same money (moral: stay in school kids)

    Cold Stone fucking Creamery

    -cons-
    - minimum wage ($7.40 or so) even after working there for two years. In Michigan, it's legal to play minors approximately 80% of minimum wage, so there are some kids who've been working there for two years as well and are still only making about $6.20. No one has ever received a raise.
    - rich prick customers. Lots of bros, hos, and rich doctors who can't speak english.
    - the health questions and complaints. If you're on a diet, no, it is not a good idea to get 12 ounces of premium ice cream mixed with fudge, brownies, and rainbow sprinkles. Go away.
    - shitty, shitty, shitty hours during the winter. Somewhere between 3.5 to 7 a week, on average, for each of our eight crew members.
    - you come home reeking of sweetened dairy.
    - you hate ice cream within two weeks.

    -pros-
    - if you're friendly, tips can end up being a buck or two an hour of untaxed wages.
    - you get free ice cream after each shift, which is pretty nice for about a week.
    - fellow employees tend to be pretty fucking awesome.
    - during the winter, it's slow enough to where we spend most of our shifts just fucking around. Using cake decorating supplies and dyes to turn each other into car accident victims becomes a plausible way to kill time.

    Walmart cart pusher, part time

    Outside alone for 9 hours straight. you're a janitor, nobody wants to talk to you, ever
    Most conversation is with the door greeters - ie. 70 year old cat ladies with missing fingers, or retards.
    Severely understaffed
    None of the equipment ever works, obviously
    Working for hours in blizzards, sleet, etc.. is expected. Buy your own shovels and rock salt
    No extra pay, ever, even though the physical labour gets rather extensive
    Can work full time hours most weeks, also trying to get any time off even months in advance is impossible, you might as well just not show up that day (which is what most people do)
    All 15 managers running around at any given time are dicks

    Pros:
    I get to listen to music because no one knows or cares that I'm outside.
    I get some fresh air and excercise, and a nice tan in the summer
    Some cool restaurants around the place

    Mcdonalds fag here. back kitchen. Part time. Such a stereotypical job I have.

    Pros
    Coworkers are awesome, great guys, and the girls are hot. This completely took me off guard.
    Most managers are cool dudes as well. Me and some other guys spent an hour talking to a few about Orgazmo and Kung Pow. They also know how to do their fucking jobs.
    I can listen to music

    Cons
    Dinners are absolutely insane, this is one of the only fast food places in the area.
    Closing takes like three fucking hours, cleaning is bullshit.
    The fags who drive up in their SUV's five minutes before closing and get a fucking meal. Fat pieces of shit
    Too many fucking things to memorize. WAY too many things.

    I'm an EMT.

    Pros:
    -You can drive however you like and at what speed you like as long as it's some kind of emergency. It's FUN.
    -You have acess to some really cool substances and get even greater stuff from hospitals if you tell the nurses you need it NOW because you already used your stuff and the next emergency is waiting. They usally don't know what they are allowed to give you.
    -People are in general very thankful and you walk home with 30-50$ in tips almost every day.
    -When you buy some stuff during your paid work time, grab your cell phone and say "oh shit.." people always think something terrible happened you don't have to stand in line anymore.

    Cons:
    -Payment is shit.
    -Way too many hours per week.
    -Junkies will regularly try to steal benzodiazepines and similar things from your amublance, sometimes in a violent way.
    -I probably had every bodily fluid that exists on my hands or clothing in the past few months.
    -If a fat person gets a heart attack in a building without elevator, your back is going to hurt really bad the next few days.

    I do surveys and other shit online, working on a downline right now so I can focus on article marketing,
    Pros:
    Hours. Can work any.
    Helping other people figure out how to make some cash on the side.
    I'm at home and not dealing with customers, or a boss.
    Cons:
    Pay. Unless you have a downline/contest going on, its about 6.00/hr.
    I have no intention of being in this field for long, so no job experience.
    The only people I talk to who are doing this are stay at home moms or grandmas.

    Lots of spare time

    Met lots of interesting people
    I know where to go for cheap / free anything

    Cons:

    Can't spend money lavishly
    Can't go out that much, and the last bus home is at 11pm, with the last bus to the nearest town at midnight, so I either have to leave nights out early or crash on a friend's floor / sofa
    Girls are definitely not attracted to guys with no job

    Actually, a sociopath's victims have some connection, whether it be their sex, hair color, profession, proximity, etc. So he's pretty specific about it.

    How ever, the service industry IS serving a faceless mass. It's called the consumer. Nothing goes on between you and the consumer, you provide your service and all is done.

    Animator on a famous cruise line.

    Pros:
    - 10% of people which go on a cruise end up fucking someone from the animation staff, or came just for that reason. We have 5000 passengers every ten days now, so statistically there's 250 girls and women who are basically running around naked and looking for me always.

    - Work is fun, basically organising games and activities, and then conversations and being social.

    - I work with people from all around the world. I knew 3 languages when I entered the job, now I speak 5.

    - My bosses were always young and nice to me.

    Cons:

    - Shit pay - 600/700 euros a month if you're lucky.

    - Working time fucking infinite: you begin at 8 am and end at 3 am every day. Only way to get less hours is to work with Children Animation, but then no pussy.

    - Drunk americans suck.

    - People always yelling and treating you like shit, when that's the receptionist's job.

    - If you get a complaint, the company begins telling you how many people they have available for my job. And they do have a lot of them.

    - Only career you can make out of this requires pretty much 30 years before you begin working less and getting the moneys.

    - 10 months a year out of home, in some stupid ass turistic city filled with arabs selling you stuff and trying to steal your walet.

    - absolutely everything that goes wrong is blamed on the driver, no matter what
    - the pay is kinda shitty
    - barely any life left because you're always gone

    The food is generally poor, yes, as well as being overpriced. The alternatives are to find grocery stores - Walmart Supercenters are popular alternatives for health-conscious truckers due to their large parking lots and full-service grocery store.

    I'm a courtesy clerk for a popular grocery store chain.
    My job is to bag groceries, clean up messes, and push carts.

    Cons:
    -Mopping up Messes
    -Pushing Carts (espcially in when it's hot/cold/rainy/snowing/icy)
    -Retarded customers getting angry about me bagging their groceries "wrong"
    -Lowest rung on the chain of command yet you do the most work
    -Other departments shove their shit on you that they don't want to do
    -The managers make you do shit that isn't even close to your job
    -When someone shits all over the bathroom you have to clean it up
    -Minimum Wage, No benefits, Union Dues for a Union that does NOTHING AT ALL

    Pros:
    -There aren't really any pros, you basically do the work that you'd do on a job that paid $12+ for minimum wage and every treats you like shit and shits on you

    Protip: This job will motivate you to go to college.

    Cons:
    -sit by an old racist irish man who drinks all the republican koolaid. He thinks Obama is a nigger terrorist whos every intention is to destroy the USA

    -Companies bitch all the time for old shit. salesmen think i can magically crap out their product and get it to their customers in an hour.

    -Getting up early. I hate the fucking morning with a passion. Every time my alarm goes off in the morning I really want to shoot myself

    -Random drug tests. A coworker of mine just got fired from one cause he smoked some weed on his b-day. Shit sucks because he was a damn fine worker in every way and did not deserve it

    -Shit scared about being laid off. They went and cut a bunch of people 2 weeks ago because of the economy

    -Everyday is 8+ hours and monday is pretty much a given at 10+ hours. If shit doesnt get out, then people bitch and now they are refusing to pay for overtime. So ya, I am getting fucked up the ass because if I dont put in the time, i might get laid off.

    Pros:
    - Good pay and great benefits. Health, dental, 401k, 2 weeks paid vacation the moment you start. I may hate my job some days but when i am sitting in costa rica and getting paid for it, it should be pretty awesome

    -The coolest boss I have ever worked for. He is a really laid back and intelligent guy, most my previous employers were incompetent fucks

    i was a pharmacy tech for awhile too. i made $7/hr after working there for a year. considering the knowledge that was required, i.e. the drug class for each medication, how to read scripts, etc that wage was bullshit. especially since i've also caught so many errors, i'm surprised that i worked for that wage for that long in retrospect. and that's not considering stuff that's been mentioned already, i.e. customers suffering from "whine at the gas station clerk about oil prices" syndrome.

    City Librarian Here

    Cons:
    - ALL of my bosses are crochety old women who can't get their shit together.

    - Some of my coworkers are dicks.

    I work at a small pet store

    PROS:
    -Really relaxed job. I can get away with anything, especially since I'm one of 3 supervisors.
    -I love animals, and I get to take care of them and help other people take care of theirs better.
    -We have a macaw who is my best friend.
    -I've really learned a lot about every aspect of pet care. And I discovered a love for fishkeeping that I never would have uncovered otherwise.

    -Little fucking kids are at their WORST in our store. Screaming, running, pounding on glass, exclaiming "POLLY WANNA CRACKER!!!!" over and over to our parrot.
    -Actually to be honest a lot of adults act like total idiots in the store too.
    -My manager is an asshole about hours and time off
    -Sometimes there's some pretty nasty shit to clean up.
    -Pay is awful
    -There's a very popular restaurant next door, and we get their overflow on weekends. Adults meeting each other for dinner stand around and gossip while their kids run amok unsupervised.

    I worked at a Independent Video Rental Place as the manager

    Cons:
    * Had to deal with a bunch of useless cunts for employees
    * Pay was shit
    * Customers bitching about late fees
    * Trying to explain how fullscreen/widescreen works to clueless people
    * When the economy went to shit I got demoted because the owners came in to work the store
    * Customers with the taste for shit. "What you haven't seen Beef 2?" "I don't watch movies with subtitles, don't you have an English version?"

    Pros:
    * Store was slow. I watched movies, read books, or played video games for hours.
    * Free rentals, and because I saw so many movies I got to watch some off the wall stuff that I never would have found otherwise.
    * Some great customers. I had a few people that when they came in would make the day better talking to them. Had one guy who would bring me books to read. Had another who would do my taxes for free.
    * When the economy went bad I got to FIRE ALL MY CUNT STAFF! Stupid fucking bitches were all related.

    Work: Shift Leader at Dunkin Donuts.

    Pros:
    Get to more or less boss others around
    Get out of helping customers by doing various tasks (prepping, counting money, ect.)
    Free meals and drinks when I'm working
    All but two people on the crew I'm on good terms with.
    The locals. The ones that are regulars will give me discounts at the stores they work at.

    Cons:
    The two I'm not on good terms with.
    The pay. I'm on going on my fifth year and only making $8.25 when the other shift leaders are making at least $8.75. Some of the regular employees make more than me as well.
    The customers. We're slammed in every season because of the location. "I just waited in line for 25 minutes! I dema-""SCREW YOU."
    Ordering a ton of stuff at Drive-Thru and then complaining that it took us too long.
    Ordering a breakfast sandwich at 6 PM.
    People who aren't able to grasp that our store closes at 9 PM because "the one back home stays open until 11."
    And last but certainly not least, people who honk their horn in the drive-thru. One day, when I leave this place, I will have a megaphone ready for these people.

    Summary: I hate tourists.

    Pros:
    I don't have to talk to anybody.
    I make [made] pretty decent money for making four robot motions for eight hours while letting my mind wander.
    Night shift, so I didn't have to deal with traffic or anything.
    Physical work, so I actually get to move around and stuff.

    Cons:
    Obviously, I don't have it any fucking more, so that's the biggest one.
    When I DO have to deal with others, they're all fucking nimrods.

    Cons: 80% of people I help are idiots. I can understand that some people need to be taught the basics, but some people are downright retarded.

    Bestbuy Inventoryfag here

    Pro's
    ::::::::
    The discount. Save a little on some stuff, a fuck ton on others.

    At my store, and I'm sure at most stores the cashiers are hot/cute as hell 90% of the time.

    Along with the discount, the vendor accomodations are great sometimes as well. Mostly they are just discounts, but sometimes they have training videos you watch and are then tested on. Score above a certain mark and receive free shit. I did one yesterday that might net me a free Line 6 Micro Spider amp, still waiting to hear back how I did.

    Pay is pretty good, a hair under 10/hour.

    Can't say much about the benefits, but the employee stock plan is great, and the 401k isn't bad.

    Oh yeah, the discount. $8 HDMI cables? yes please.
    Cons
    ::::::::
    Management, at least at my store the managers are rather bitchy and worthless. My direct manager gets 80k a year, not including benefits and shit and bitches about his job all day. And this is without a college education.

    Customers

    Customers

    Customers for reasons I shouldnt have to explain. If you work retail you know.

    Corporate does stupid shit on a regular basis.

    Since i'm an inventoryfag part of my job is to stock product when the trucks come in. So I'll be walking on the sales floor with a handtruck full of shit and people just stop and ask me questions. I know this goes under the customers category but wtf.

    Can't really think of anything else. If the discount wasn't so good it would just be another god awful retail job.

    I fly F-16s in the USAF. Seriously.

    PROS:
    - Get to see/do amazing shit
    - The job is NEVER boring. NEVER.
    - The cool factor of wearing a flight suit. Kids stare, grown men give you the thumbs-up, women get all nervous around me 'cuz I'm a pilot.
    - People are always grateful for what I do. I hear "thank you for your service" a lot.
    - If you ever meet people who don't know you, the conversation ALWAYS goes in the direction of "what do you do for work." I always win and become the topic of conversation.
    - You know that douchebag from High School that everyone loved? I get to meet him in chance encounters (or if he finds me on FaceBook) and the jealousy shows like a motherfucker.
    - The pay is actually really nice.
    - Everyone at work is cool. Seriously, the pilots I work with are the coolest and funniest people I've ever known. Fighter pilots = superior specimens of the human race. Seriously.
    - Alcohol is encouraged at work. If you're not flying that day, go ahead and make yourself a Jack and Coke. We have a fucking BAR in our building. That's right...our OWN BAR.
    - Speaking of the bar, there's always coffee/popcorn/snacks available. Pay a nominal monthly "tax" and eat/drink all you want. Beer included.

    CONS:
    - The hours are fucking LONG. I work 14 hour days and work half-days most Sundays.
    - Moving every few years. The wife doesn't complain too much...yet.
    - Every morning, you have to wake up and think "I might die today in that jet." It's motivating, but sometimes it would be nice to not have to think about it.
    - Air combat is fucking COMPLEX, so I'm ALWAYS studying. If I'm not flying, I'm buried in a book learning about flying. It just doesn't stop.


    So yeah, I'd recommend it. If you're 14 and want to do what I do GET OFF THE FUCKING COMPUTER AND GO OUTSIDE.

    Don't become a neckbeard loser like 50% of the people on here.

    It's pilot time!

    How do you know a pilot is at a party?

    He'll tell you.

    How many pilots does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

    Just one, he holds it into the socket and the world revolves around him.

    How do you know your date with a pilot is half over?

    "That's enough about me, let's talk about my plane!"

    I am an Appliance Sales Associate at a Home Depot in Cincinnati, Ohio

    Pros:

    - $11/hr without relevant experience!
    - That can NEVER GO DOWN if I transfer to another store / department.
    - Little-to-no oversight. I browse the internet for most of my shift.
    - Customers are generally really easy to work with.
    - No real managerial structure--you never really have to do much of anything.
    - Walkie-talkies are just fun, no matter what.
    - Co-workers are all really easy-going.

    Cons:

    - Very few hours some weeks as a part-time associate. If I was full-time, shit would RULE.
    - Some websites are blocked :(
    - Half or more of the calls that come in aren't for my department. No, I don't know EVERYTHING about home improvement because I wear this orange apron.
    - All Home Depot employees are grunts. If something needs to get done right away, anybody and everybody will have to help.
    - I cannot leave my department to flirt with cashiers.

    I always try to say thanks to people in the military. I saw this old mexican dude with an old stained hat that said WWII VETERAN at a local burger place. I went up to him and said thank you for your service. He really appreciated it and came over to my table (I was eating alone) and talked to me for about 15 minutes about his stories of the war and how people dont even say thanks anymore which disappointed him. He said that even mexicans dont say thanks to him and asked me if I as mexican. Im asian so I was like err, no...'

    Student at top rated private university, working in the library's book preservation department

    Pros:
    - As long as I call ahead, I don't have to come into work. Awesome when I'm lazy or pulled an all nighter
    - Learning an actual craft that I'll have for the rest of my life
    - Pay is good for the small amount of effort I put into it: $8.50/hr
    - Get to handle amazing old books. The oldest book I ever worked on was from the 1500s
    - Pretty fulfilling because I get to say I'm taking care of humanities collected knowledge
    - I get to decide the kind of work I'm going to do each day. Will I repair old books, glue CD pockets, make custom fitted boxes, rebind damaged stuff, treat damaged leather, delivery books to different departments.
    - My co-workers are all socially deprived middle aged women, so if I don't feel like working, I just start up a conversation and chat for a while.
    - I get to use cool equipment and chemicals. My favourite is the massive cast iron blade that can slive cleanly through a hardcover book.
    - I take home the tons and tons of scrap paper and fabric and make art projects out of them.
    - The atmosphere is pretty relaxed, I can take bathroom and snack runs

    Cons:
    - My co-workers are all socially deprived middle aged women, so if I start up a conversation it tends to get boring pretty quickly
    - Sucks to have to work and take a full-course load of upper-level classes at the same time
    - The preservation lab is in the basement of the library, so I don't get to go outside
    - The work is mostly all sitting down
    - Nothing 'exciting' ever really happens

    -bunch of great restaurants nearby, don't have to go far for lunch

    Busboy at Japanese Restaurant

    PROS:
    Free food. Sushi, teriaki, gyoza, shumai, tenpura, pretty much anthing.
    Decent tips make anywhere from 30-70 a night from those.
    Chill, young, boss, but he's a complete tool. I don't mind because he's a nice guy.
    Some hot hostesses I've gotten with.
    Staff likes me, I'm reliable and have been working there for nearly 3 years.
    On slow nights one busboy gets to go home early.
    On slow nights with one busboy you get paid to watch football in HD.

    CONS:
    Pretty shit pay, minimum wage.
    Staff makes fun of me when I eat because they're too good to eat apparently.
    Staff doesn't speak much english, waiters/sushi chefs are japanese/chinese and cooks are spanish. Sometimes I unintentionally speak broken english back to them.
    Dinner at the end of the night usually sucks, it's like fish soup or some shitty beefy broth. But if i get enough sushi during the night i'm good. And otherwise i'll just go to mcdonalds on the way back home or something.
    Constantly moving.
    Smell pretty shitty afterwards.
    On busy nights you have to stay and sweat and get yelled at.
    On busy nights with one busboy you're fucked. Except for the money.

    - Delicious biscuits in the lunchroom ALL THE TIME. Middle aged women love them some biscuits.
    - Air-conditioned in summer.
    - Heated in winter.
    - All the libraries I work at are close to public transport, easy as hell to get to and from work.
    - I can have any book/DVD I want.
    - Old men are always really nice to me.
    - Work is really easy and I get to sit down a fair bit.
    - Everyone I work with is lovely.
    - If a sexual predator comes in I get to sit out the back eating biscuits/drinking tea until they leave, while still getting paid for it.

    Cons:
    - It takes me at least an hour to get to work.
    - Mothers who come in are bitchy, demanding, rude and let their children run rampant then blame me when they get hurt.
    - Libraries are in a dodgy area and I have to check the "Sexual Predators Currently Out Of Prison" list every time I go in.

    I fucking love my job.

    explain this.. why are you do worried about sexual predators? are you a little boy or something..

    I hate my local library. Its always filled with fucking nigger kids hogging all the computers just to dick around on myspace, and always loud as fuck.

    Teenage girl. Most of them were in prison for offences against teenage girls, so I'm not allowed to be on the desk if they come in. It's only happened once, but I've also seen them hanging around outside and near the train station. The idea is that if I always go out the back when I see them coming close they won't know I work there and can't prey on me or whatever when I'm on my way home.

    Yeah, libraries being quiet places has gone to fuck. One that I work at has a child health nurse every second day, which means every second day the place is swarming with screaming babies, screaming terrorising toddlers and moody pregnant teenage mothers.

    I honestly don't know. I do a fulltime university course so I don't work during semester, but they said they were incredibly impressed by me in my interview and want me around on the holidays. Maybe it was my nifty argyle vest? All the libraries around here are hiring at the moment actually, people keep quitting or leaving which is weird considering, you know, recession and all.

    Haha, it's not so bad. I have the power to remove them from the library if I think they're too noisy, which is kinda fun. I've done it a couple of times, but usually the child health nurse tries to keep them quiet as well. It's just the combination of screaming babies and old people whining to me about the screaming babies that gets me. O SRY BITCHY OLD LADY, I'LL JUST GO BEND TO YOUR EVERY WHIM WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY SHELVING THIS CART OVERFLOWING WITH BOOKS, PRINTING AND MAILING RESERVATION NOTICES AND SERVING THE FIVE OTHER PEOPLE WAITING.

    I work at UPS, sorting boxes.

    PROS:
    - $15 an hour because I've been there six years. You get a dollar or more raise each year.
    - Two weeks vacation per year, 5 sick days, 5 personal days, all paid.
    - Friday and Saturday off. Hell yes.
    - The people are cool, a lot of rednecks but most of them are decent to talk to.
    - It's a factory building full of 99% guys, so you can yell and curse and "be a guy" without offending some woman.
    - The few ladies around are HOT AS FUCK but unobtainable, for some reason only girls with boyfriends/husbands choose to work at UPS. Shame.
    -Our union is nigh unstoppable, they will never be able to fire you and make it stick unless you attack an employee or show up drunk a dozen times. Also you can call in pretty much all the time and no one cares.

    CONS:
    - I only get about 22 hours a week, they rarely promote anyone to full time unless you choose to be a delivery driver.
    - No driver spots open right now, and I want one so bad. Do you have any clue what UPS drivers make? Like $35,000 starting out. It's fucking insane. Top pay allowed is like $32 per hour. I WANT TO DRIVE THE BROWN TRUCK PLZ
    - The managers can be dicks, but that's true everywhere.

    I work at the Portland State University Noah's Bagels.

    Pros:

    -Awesome co-workers, a lot of fun to talk with
    -Day goes by pretty quick, simple job that stays busy
    -Hours fit well with my school schedule
    -Fairly lax about most everything, since it's a lot of students

    Cons:

    -Just over minimum, like 8.50 or something.
    -Working under Aramark. Lots of corporate BS that makes no sense.
    -I cut bagels. Not very rewarding.
    -No tips :/

    I guess this should fall under intern, except I'm getting payed. I'm not a secretary, so do with it what you will.
    I file invoices, organize meetings, and do random stuff around the office.

    Pros:
    -Go to school and work on my off time
    -EASY work, like really easy.
    -Get paid $10.00/hour for my first job with no previous experience
    -Get to work from home and when I do go to the office it's only for a couple of hours a week.
    -My bosses greatly value me because apparently they are technologically handicapped :)
    -Job security. I'm constantly talking about future projects with my bosses and how I will be able to help them.
    -No real Co-Workers.

    Cons:
    -No real Co-Workers :(
    -Paranoid about fucking up because I have to deal with some large scale deals and important customers.


    Final comments- Job is easy, and convenient. I actually enjoy putting hours in. Also, I love rich people. I'm getting paid for what a program could do.

    Delivery Driver for a takeaway food shop

    Pros
    -18$AUS/hr
    -Free meal at the end of the night (holy fuck the food is so good there)
    -Driving around in the car listening to triple jjj/cds
    -Taking longer ways to the destination if its a short delivery so i can relax for a little bit
    - Working late arvos/nights (5-9ish/10ish) suits my nerd lifestyle of staying up late and waking up late
    - Jesus christ the free meals, soooooooo goood
    - It isnt pizza, and i live in a decent part of North fo the river Perth, so i get decent tips (Most of the time the petrol is covered) and dont deliver to full on parties full of drunk bogans
    - Rarely get shitty customers due to intimidating italian chef 2 metres away
    - Its mostly teenage guys there, and all of them are nice/cool/funny guys. Most of them cover your shifts if you need them off, and nearly all of them can perfectly quote Trent from Punchy

    Cons
    - Working at night with other driver coworkers away means i miss out on going out on Sats/Weds
    - If no deliverys, im basically a highly paid kitchen hand. Washing dishes, grabbing stock out of cool room, taking orders etc
    - Sometimes gets insanely busy, Angry Italian Chef (tm) gets extremely stressed and starts yelling if mistakes are maid (not often)
    - Drunk bogans ordering massive meals at the end of the night.

    Pretty sweet job, and i have massive respect to the chef who works extremely hard.

    Pretty much yeah. I read a lot and have a little OCD. I like things to be in the right order, which is a godsend considering most of my work is shelving and shelfchecking [making sure all the books are in the right order]. It probably also helps I was well presented and had a pretty good resume. Although prior to this I had no work experience at all, and it was a steep uphill climb for me to get comfortable talking to people and making small talk and whatever. I've only ever heard from the bosses and other employees that I'm a good worker though, so I must be doing something right.

    Work as a Salad Artist

    Pros:
    Incredible pay. Up to $31 per hour sometimes.
    Co-workers are great. We all go out together
    I pretty much make salads or serve people all day so it's easy as shit.
    It's dead during the afternoon so we just stand around and talk.
    As many or as little hours as I want.
    Fantastic boss.

    Cons: 7am starts.

    I don't think I'll leave before I finished my degree.

    I'm unemployed right now and have been since August, but before that I was a camp counselor at a shitty camp in new england.

    pros:
    - tons of time off (compared to other camps) and NO CURFEW unless I'm working
    - kids are hilarious
    - got high all the time
    - coed camp
    - free room & board

    cons:
    - shit pay
    - "rustic" living quarters, so that means cabins pretty much open to the elements, and disgusting toilets that get clogged up if anything other than piss is in them
    - like being in prison. everyone goes crazy! the boys do bizarre stuff to each other (like shit on the floor of the bunks, trick kids into rubbing icy hot on their balls, etc etc) and the women are all just horrible bitches to each other and everyone around them
    - little to no internet/outside communication
    - business is run horribly and employees treated like shit; I have heard stories from coworkers about the boss spying on them, taking their phone and checking their messages, getting involved in their personal life (like asking who they have fucked lately)
    - your job basically requires asskissing, if you don't you aren't a good employee and don't get to come back
    - some of these kids are not even 10 and already have that jewish entitlement driven into them so hard there's nothing human left in them
    - can't take a decent shower and look like shit all the time
    - can get fired for any reason, at any time without notice and all they do is drop you off at a bus station 20 minutes outside of the camp

    I do two different jobs depending on the staff/time of season. The people I work for own a small pitch 'n putt golf course and a bit of land that we use as a beach car park.

    Car park:
    Pros
    - 5.50 GBP an hour, which is pretty awesome considering the actual skill needed, plus I get 50p for each car after we hit 200 in a day.
    - Local shops give me free food and shit because I'll give them change. This fat bitch makes the BEST hot chocolate ever oh lawd.
    - Next door to a surf school, hot bronzed surfers come and talk to me sometimes.
    - Most of the time I can just sit in my hut and read books or play handheld video games if it isn't busy/full.
    - Sunny, some of the best coast in england, etc.
    - My boss buys me ice cream if it's a hot day.
    - Most interaction with customers is usually "3 pounds, park over there please."

    Cons
    - Have to clean up after tourists. Broken glass, dirty nappies, all sorts of disgusting shit.
    - Tourists
    - Tourists that want direction to an obscure hamlet 20 miles away
    - No official lunch or toilet breaks
    - Tourists with hueg 4x4's that park lengthways across all the spaces.
    - Get a trucker tan
    - When busy I'm running around non-stop for 4 hours.
    - Not much protecting me from the elements
    - No electricity or radio signal
    - Tourists jesus christ

    Pitch 'n Putt
    Pros
    - Even less work than car park for more pay
    - Electricity, my own mini fridge, heater
    - Sometimes I look after customer's dogs and get to play with them
    - Nice comfy armchair

    Cons
    - Tourists
    - Tourists that complain about the golf club quality/size

    work: supports neuro psychologicalyl challenged young adults.
    Loc: Sweden, private sector.
    Pros: the warm fuzzy feeling of making a difference, it's private sector (in sweden that means higher pay, education, non shifty work culture, possibility of promotion and it's run by educated managers, not elected officials), fun co workers, I meet a lot of interesting people.
    Con: it could be a little better pay , I have 2150 euro a month plus extra for working nights (sleeping though), bad hours, no brakes or lunch hours, it can be boring listening to someone with the intellectual age of 5 talking to her/himself for 8 hours.
    Other than that, as I live in Sweden I have dental, health and unemployment insurances :-)
