"You have all the time to do anything" Unless you're a college student who's not on break :( If you're not going to any sort of school/are on break from school, here are other bad things about being unemployed that I should add to your list: 1. You see all your other friends and many other people your age working, and therefore feel very lazy. 2. You aren't gaining work experience, meaning you might have trouble gaining the job you want when you get older. 3. Not only do you not have enough money to do what you want, you also aren't saving money for when you need to become an independent adult one day. I'm 21 and I have never had a job (tried to get one before, other times I haven't had time), and I'm very worried about getting older because of the lack of money.
Bro you're a young college student. You definitely don't have to worry about unemployment. Finish college, do a small job for a while to rack up some experience, and you're golden. Just don't try to reach for the stars on your first grab, unless you're THAT smart. A lot of jobs value your work experience over your school grades.
Being a surgeon. You study for 15 years or more depending on the specialty and sub specialty. Get a lot of burnout because of all the studying and shit. Then when you see you first paycheck and salary, your like "Well this is worth the sacrifice", until you notice your student debt and the amount of money one has to pay for malpractice insurance and shit. Like if want to be a surgeon, just be prepared to have the worst burnout and shit. Oh BTW Im not a emergency surgeon however my best friend is and he tells , the worst part is when you save someone life their family comes and thanks god and not you (when you sacrifice your time and peace at rest), but when the patient die they say its your fault and sometimes they sue you because of emotion
@@jaredgarbo3679 It is true. I'm pretty bored by the thought of doing AL/ML stuff personally, but there is so much demand for it. Don't mind IT stuff, but less interested in it in the long term. I do non-AI/ML software development, and there is plenty of demand for developers like this who are decent and have at least some experience. Crazy demand. Pay is good. I am working on both a game and other personal stuff in my free time (as well as learning more about ML, since, although it isn't something I'm interested in doing in my job, it is bound to become vital to know a decent amount about it).
3d arist here. I went to college for game arts. Once I found out that I would be stuck working 60+hrs a week, having insanely tight dead lines, and paid around minimum wage for years with a small chance I "might" get salary (this is what our professors told us day one of freshman year), I noped out the idea of working in the game industry. I gradated last December and currently working as a 3d concept artist for an advertisement company where i make 65k salary starting and only work 40hrs a week with very easily achievable dead lines.
@Thot Destroyer I used to work in a cafe and i can say the parents are the worst. For example, we were out of cinnamon for pretzels and churros one day; Most people understood and got something else, but of course there's always one cunt who gets snappy (they're almost always fat black chicks who think their shit doesn't stink). Kids and stoners are the easiest customers you'll ever have working in a restaurant.
@@TechpriestNumber I'm glad you think I'm such an easy customer. I hope stoners continue to give you this experience. If ever they're not, I'm very sorry, but some are just dickheads :(
I used to work at an arcade and I face the same thing where kids are nice and easy to work with while the adults (especially the elderly) were difficult to work with.
Doctor (any specialty) -Long hours with no overtime pay -You take your work home -Forget about work/life balance unless it is some 9-5 specialty (psychiatry) -You make a decent pay that will get gobbled up by taxes and $500k student loan -Most of the time is charting and documenting your patient's cases -Little spare time you have will be spent on studying to renew your licence, or in court over false claims about "malpractice" -Forget about watching your kids grow. Before you know it, they will be 20 and pointing fingers at you, telling you're shitty parent -Depression and suicide among doctors are common. All the stress and burnouts without any rest will push many doctors to take their own lives. If you can overlook all of this, I salute you

I was a personal assistant to a rich person in NYC, which sometimes involved being in close quarters with their friends. Actual work was OK, but the people were exhausting. It was all 40 - 60 year olds that were popular in high school and everything was about keeping up appearances. Eventually I learned that many had less money than they put on and were hanging on by a shoe string. One was pretending to be younger to attract men and I had to keep her age secret after I found it out. Stuff like that. None of them could just admit they were normal people, everyone was always trying to one up eachother. One even pretended to own an apartment they rented. Why lie and try to so hard to keep up the lie?

Being employed at a bank. People think you work for a bank and that means you make a lot of money. In most cases, this could not be further from the truth. I work for a bank in the IT department for many years and I was paid just a little above minimum-wage for the eight years I worked there. I had a lot of responsibilities and accountability. My Christmas bonus one year was a coupon for one dollar off a carton of eggnog at the grocery store. That was in my bonus envelope.

@@1biutza - That's really terrible. Does she live in the U.S.? I've never heard of a teller having to replace money. Usually, they are retrained, receive negative notes their file and, after 2 or 3 incidents, they lose their job.
Karolina Kriauzaitė You’d better take that job damn seriously or you could end up killing someone very easily, permanently losing your career, going to prison, getting sued for all that money that brought you to the job, and of course living with the guilt of killing someone and what you’ve done to their friends and family I think it’s a bit funny how everyone who talks about becoming an anesthesiologist says they want to do it for the same one or two reasons: 1) make tons and tons of money, 2) while doing rather simple and straightforward work. “You just come in and leave” they say Nobody ever brings up the liability. Nobody every brings up the reality in any way It’s actually astonishing the sheer number of people I’ve heard who talk about becoming an anesthesiologist, more than almost any other job out there, and yet I haven’t known a single one to actually do it

Alice Reading sometimes we think we love something, but only love it from the outside. I wanted to go to work for the railroad like my dad, and I was a huge railfan. I never realized how miserable the first 20 years would be until it finally clicked why my dad was against me following in his footsteps and I failed out before I started the first day on the job. I’ve been in Water Treatment for four years and love this job everyday.
As a current commercial pilot, the information on that is old. Pay and QOL has been increasing significantly. It wasn’t uncommon for new pilots at regional carriers to be making 20k a year. Now it’s closer to 50-70k a year. Still not insanely high but it’s enough to live on. You get promoted to captain in an average of 2 or 3 years and your income nearly doubles. Do that for an additional 2 or 3 years and now you can go to Spirit, Southwest, United, American, ect and your income goes from 130 starting out and capping off at 250k to 350k. Sucks to be on the road half the month, but the other half of the month your off and you don’t bring you’re work home with you. + free travel benefits are nice. Really a great career to get into these days. The pilot shortage is the real deal. Have your licenses and can fog a mirror? You’re set. I love my job. Every job has annoying things about it but the fact that you’re in control of a huge metal cylinder hurtling through the atmosphere at 500 miles per hour helps quite a lot.
dont be a chode dude No, grew up in an average 1 story house. Parents divorced, all that shit. Constantly struggled to pay bills and make ends meet. Worked my ass off to save up some money and build my credit. After building up some credit and finding a co-signer, I co-signed on a loan to pay for flight training. 70,000$ @ 9% interest was the best we could do. Now my payments are 820$ a month. Which Sucks, But The job pays decent (staring around 3,500 a month fresh out of flight training) and I don’t have kids or anything so I can make ends meet and still have some cash left over for savings/ screwing around. It was and is tough to pay for flight school. Unfortunate that it’s the reality. But you don’t need to be Donald Trump rich to find a way to afford it. Consider it as an investment. Spend the money now/go into debt and then 10 years down the road you have a wonderful career making 6 figures and your job is to fly a jet around the world.
Being a RUclipsr. Think about it. You are at the whims of RUclips and you have to keep posting constantly. One of the few jobs where vacations are tough. And at any moment you can take a pay cut for something you have no control over.
And while one can work hard creating original content, theirs always artistically bankrupt channels doing minimal effort by ripping off Reddit and reciting stories, most of the time with lame text to speech voice overs.
Not to mention, the fame of it. All these people will have a say on everything you do. You'll always get hate. People will recognize you everywhere. They'll try to find out where you live, if they do, they'll come visit. People don't understand that just because you watch the videos, the creators don't know you. Also you might just get cancelled because of a misunderstanding and lose your whole career.
The one about traveling for work is true. I used to make $2,000 a week as a truck driver. I got to meet some interesting people and see some truly beautiful parts of the country. Always having money to spend was nice and since you live in your truck there aren't many bills to pay. After 5 months I was miserable. It's a lonely life living on the road. All I wanted was to be with my family. On the road, every person you meet is a stranger. There's never a real connection. You might be wondering why not just talk on the phone? Because people have jobs during the day and after work they're too tired chat. Also not to mention people these days seem to fear talking on the phone for some reason. I left that job behind when the loneliness became too much. I work a 9 to 5 now. I make way less money, but I'm so much happier. I know it's hard to believe, but money really doesn't solve all your problems. Maybe a few, sure, but not all. And new problems will still pop up all the time. I also want to note that the reason I decided to drive was because I was poor, homeless, and sleeping in my car. I was happier in my car.
Vet tech, only 1/4 the job is puppies and kittens, all the sad stories and pets in poor health that sometimes the owners put them through, injuries are highly likely to happen, pretty much getting scratched and bitten, doing all this with a very low pay, they get paid very little and it upsets me
Kreative Sonic I’m a dog handler and groomer. I can relate to this a lot. I get bit, scratched, and bruised all the time. I also clean a lot of poop. Only get $10 an hour, but on the bright side, our boss is cool and pays for all the employees pet needs like food and treats.
Margot Abihabib omg $10? I do the same as you and I only get $8.50, I only mentioned Vet tech because I work with them and trying to work to become one in the future so I already know how bad the job can be
Kreative Sonic the first kennel job I had was only $9/hr and I had “I don’t get paid enough for this” moments every day. My new kennel job pays 10, we get commission on baths and nail trims, and the owner pays for our pets food and treats. It’s also a way better work environment. I was a vet assistant at one point and I never want to work in a clinic again 😅
One thing that is at least a benefit of being a vet tech is that at least the market is widening and there's multiple pathways you can take aside from just working in some clinic. You could get into the laboratory setting, do large animal necropsies, wild life rehab, etc.
Zachary Jollimore Maybe they just don’t care? Most humans didn’t until recently. Dude rapes a slave? No biggie. Lord rapes a peasant? Who cares? Christian rapes a heathen pagan?

Scientist, depending upon what field you're trying to get into and what degree you have when you graduate. In any event, it's hard as hell to land any type of lab job, a Bachelor's degree being the bare minimum nearly 90% of the time. Not to mention, the pay is livable, but shit. The people earning the big $$$ have high-end doctorate degrees, lots of experience, and are doing drug R&D type research. Otherwise, you'll be earning $15 an hr, maybe $17 an hr if you're lucky and find the right place. All that STEM/STEAM stuff is kind of bull crap because it's mostly love what you do because you're not going to get paid for shit lest you find a good boss and a private entity.
Good God, it sounds like humanities! I am very sorry to hear that our scientifically-interested brethren (and sistren) are having the same problems!! Although we don't have the private entity option, it's true...
@@blixten2928 The colleges get me the most. They act like used car-salesmen, through and through. All of them try to BS you burns me up, saying look at the "statistics" of the opportunities. The thing about statistics is that they can be easily manipulated by left side, right side, and everyone inbetween. I'm both lucky and thankful I got a job out of college after going back for an AS. There are some people who aren't so lucky.
@Quotius X pay and security sounds cool but a lot of people I know (especially the smarter ones who don't have great social or people skills) would HATE to be a nurse.... Not calling myself smart but I'd hate to have to deal with people's bodies all day
If you want to work in well payed scientific R&D either in the industrial sector or at universities you essentially need a PhD - probably a lot because a PhD is not something you just apply for AFAIK, the university gives you the opportunity and priviledge because your potential stand out from the rest of the students. This itself is an astronomic merit that puts you in contrast with someone who even has a masters degree. More than this, a lot of what you do when studying for the doctoral degree is research, so in a way you already have a few years of experience in R&D when you get your PhD degree.
I'm a former security guard. Pay sucked, job was dangerous, and everyone treated me like s***. I actually had to take anxiety medication just to get through some nights without choking somebody
I'd imagine the manga/anime industry due to how commonplace it is for the writers vent about how crap their jobs are in their issues/episodes (E.g. Sgt frog, kirby:right back at ya, monthly girls nozaki etc.)
Scientist: You think you will be inventing some new genius theory? Hahahaha! Think again. It's much more akin to a gold rush. You fantasize hitting it rich, only to come to the town after a long and arduous journey to see hundreds of people already digging and panning all over the place on their small patch of land. Good luck getting anything more than a few small nuggets. You spend years learning, say, string theory only to arrive at the damn place to see that whatever you wanna try it's been already tried ten times over. In fact, your best bet is to become competent in some more obscure area and bide your time, gaining expertise until perhaps one day things in that or a near-by area of science suddenly explode and the whole field you're in is thrust into the forefront. Actual work? Only about 10-20% of time will you get to be engaged in 'solid' science (solving equations/building experiments), you know, the exciting brain-busting part of science that was the reason you signed up to the whole thing. The rest? Drudge work: writing code, taking measurements, running simulations, plotting graphs, writing papers and, everyone's favorite, responding to referees. As you get older, even this starts to wane and you spend more and more time managing others, writing proposals, sucking up to those with power and money, and all that high-end administrative stuff you definitely didn't sign up for, but now realize is vitally important for your research to continue, not to mention research of the people that now depend on you, like PhD students and post-docs. And at the end of your career you'll have papers to show for. If you're lucky and skillful, you'll have an h-index of at least 20, the mark of a successful professional career. That means a whopping 20 papers of yours got mentioned at least 20 times each by other papers. (Nobel Prize territory is around 60+, though there have been some notable exceptions, for example Peter Higgs has a notoriously low h-index of around 10.) So congrats. You spent all your life learning, struggling, very often battling depression, battling the Impostor Syndrome, stressing like hell and sacrificing tons of time and effort, all for the joy of making a modest improvement in an extremely specialized area of knowledge that perhaps only a two-digit number of people in the world could truly understand and appreciate. And then you either get called 'genius', which very much minimizes all the hard work you put in, or have to deal with a bunch of idiots with their pet theories and conspiracies who believe scientists are just charlatans who have no idea what they're talking about. Cheers!
Academia is basically like being a doctor without the money and even higher mental health issues due to "not accomaplishing anything". As a doctor you at least get a decent pay and when you do your work, you help people and save lives. As a researcher, you work inhumanly hard to produce this paper that 5 prople will read and cite if maybe needed. Oh an not to mention how ridicolously difficult it is to get the job. Doctors are usually high in demand, but there is about a job opening per 100 people in academia... Still aspiring to become a mathematician, but Im realistic. I will do EVERYTHING to get a PhD though, because I WILL do real research one day in math, even if noone cares about it and if I fail my career. Ill look for the industry job offerings well before I exit my PhD, if I ever get that far that is...
Not to mention the "Public or Perish" culture. While in college studying Biotech, I wanted to enter academia, but it wasn't until doing my bachelor's thesis that I discovered how highly demanding your health and personal life can be. I love research, but I am a human being and have seen many cases where colleagues sacrifice their whole life in research.
@SerbAtheist I write this comment for an hour because there is so much to ask. I thank you tremendously and please keep reading my comment. I have found your comment just in moment when I enrolled PhD. I have second thoughts now and I do not know is all of this worth it. I do not know anybody with whome could I speak honestly 100%. That's why this comment came as beacon. I assume @Serb Atheist that you come from STEM? So am I. Here we have your 100% honest opinion because is anonymous and you have nothing to lose. I could quote your entire comment. To me whole scientific career seems like a trap. By definition PhD students are the most intelligent students. Those who are almost always right. Those who learn and work hard whole life because "it will pay off". Will it? Always complaining, never satisfied. Studying every day, every week, every year. This is our "job" Low salary Your friend who are in industry make more money and already can settle down. Your are stuck with your thesis Journals are legal mafia, as well as scientific conferences. Publish or perish - scientific papers are conveyor belt and list goes on,and on, and on. 1)Eta=gains/effort. Is this worth it? 2) Why would someone do PhD? So that one day, in 20 years he could be university professor? Is that motivation for majority? 3) Do you think it would be better if you had industry career? Your knowledge and intelligence would be noticed there as well. 4) Bottom line is: is it better scientific or industrial career? 5) What would you say to younger self / advice others?
I do agree with game developer, i was in artist side, 3d artist senior for aaa company. The paid for fresh grad is same as you work in startbuck. Your raise wont get higher after 3years. 20hr/7d is your job. You always get penalties in kpi due to uncertain changes but the company would just list you failed to summit on time. I lost friend due to on call and miss their weddings. The worst job that seems to be cool cause you join the famous company. You want know the darker secret? Lot of them died from heart attacks 1 or 2 years left the company.
Student. You have to take loans, but still struggle. You are pressured to work along school, which drive some people to burnout and worse problems. You have a hard time getting employed when you graduate. No one wants to hire an unexperienced worker, but you don´t get experience for that reason.

Record producer/engineer. Sounds like a great time working with great musicians and sculpting/molding their hits, right? Wrong. What you get instead is drummers who can't keep time, vocalists who can't sing on key, guitarists who overplay, bass players that show up stoned, no one's rehearsed, and you get to deal with endless amounts of unrelated drama, like girlfriends, boyfriends, etc... Then when the recording is all done and the mixing starts, everyone files in to the control room where the vocalist wants the vocals louder, drummer wants the drums louder, etc... all the while making lousy suggestions that will just ruin the track. Half the time you just bite your lip and do what they want because they're paying for the studio time. After that, you spend time mixing down a song that's absolutely horrible and no one would ever want to willfully listen to, and the "artists" are all "sounds good bro!". God forbid you get a blues band. That's paint-by-numbers music and has the lowest barrier to entry, hence why so many people play it. Even bad rap is better. It's like American Idol where everyone sees the singer is terrible... except for the singer. The vast majority of all musicians are, frankly, awful, and are not interested in getting better, just having their egos stroked. This is, incidentally, why I never chose that career path. All it took was working in a studio for one summer to turn me away from it.
Thanks a lot man, I just dedicated my life to audio engineering. Everything you mentioned holds up but I also think passion trumps these situations. If you're doing it to pay the bills, you will suffer, but if you love the craft of recording/mixing as I do, you'll do it for free.

@@snoproblem not sure where you live but back in Canada I was lucky to find a 16-18/hr mig job. This was before the min wage hike to 14/hr in Ontario. The whole "out west" thing was a myth to many of us. Here in Europe it's not much better. Just this summer I worked with Serbs and Bosnians doing x ray pipe welding at chemical plants and oil refineries for 9€/hr. The accomodations many of them lived in were shit too. So you got German companies contracting labour from Slovenian firms (or any EU country where min wage is low) who in turn make work visas for Bosnians, Serbs, Romanians, etc and send them to work in a foreign country and share a 3 bedeoom apt with 7 otger people for €9/hr Legalized human traffiking is what it is.

@@kurosakisetsuna7525 As you pointed out at the end of your comment ultimately the customer is paying you.

Air Traffic Control, Yes, you get paid a lot but that's for a reason, you are expected to make life or death decisions in seconds baised on training, gut instinct, or experience and *HAVE* to be right 100% of the time or hundreds could wind up dead. If you make the wrong decision? You can no longer work in the career field you built your life around. If people think you did it on purpose? Jail, for life, or worse in some cases. If you were found to be negligent? Jail, for life. If the pilot fucks up or a mishap happens and a plane crashes but it's not your fault at all? *MONTHS* of investigations, drug tests, harrassment by investigators all intent on trying to prove that the crash was somehow your fault and throw you in prison because it could never be the pilot's fault, why would they want to die? Not to mention the stress of potential civil lawsuits by the families. (I've seen the investigations and civil lawsuits happen before) And on top of that you get to live the rest of your life living with the people who died under your care looming over your shoulders. All in all the job is relatively easy once you get the hang of it, but the feeling of looking at a dot on radar and visualizing multiple lives being represented by that dot is always there.

Truly disgusting and you can't quit if you need the money, so it even makes it depressing. I don't even want to talk about the rotten vegetables we got for making the food (find what is good for cooking and throw the 80% left that is rotten). [ Juarez Mexico IMSS Hospital, for the people that are wondering. ] You also have to deal with annoying / useless companions (Not all kitchens, but where I worked I had to deal with these people). The worse are those that double your job by not doing anything cause they are 2 busy on their cellphones or just don't care. Shame you can't kick them out of the Kitchen cause they are the favorites / lovers of the owner of the restaurant or are family members. @Madalin_Nick I always deal with the Onion problem by simply holding my breath or take small gasps of air. Less tears or irritated eyes to deal with, not a problem if you can quickly chop an entire bag of onions.
Being a mascot. The job is cool between sets but once you're out there it's exhausting. Plus the pay is bad. You basically work out like an athlete but get paid slightly above minimal wage.
Do what you love in your free time if you can, I was lucky enough that I love to make art as well as work on machines such as cars and trucks. Now I work in automotive repair for my job and do artwork in my spare time. It can be hard to work with but don’t let people ruin what you’re passionate about. Our 24/7 “grindset” society has made us neurotic and miserable, nobody knows how to calm down and enjoy the moment due to pressure. It might be a product of western societies but it’s robbing us and it’s very unhealthy.
definitely agree. I have witnessed miserable co-workers in the healthcare industry. The only thing that keep them there is ... they didn't find something else their were interested in.

I’m a dog handler at a doggy daycare and boarding facility; I used to work at a kennel. It sounds awesome to be surrounded by dogs all day, but it’s shit. Literally. I scoop so much poop. It’s also really sad when a geriatric dog comes in. They typically don’t have good control over their bladder or bowel movements and end up laying in their pee and poop. Sometimes, if they have bad hips or joints, you have to help them up and help them walk. Some of them can’t see or hear well either. It breaks your heart when their owners leave them there instead of having a sitter come stay in the comfort of their house. Also, we are constantly worried about them dying while their owners are out of town. It’s also sad when dogs come in with illnesses or injuries. Even minor seeming ones like ear infections. There isn’t much we can do about it, and it’s aggravating knowing their owner is dropping money on them to go to daycare, but won’t take them to a vet for rashes, cuts, infections, etc. even if it’s not life threatening, it’s still uncomfortable and the dog can’t communicate that with you. If a baby has an ear infection, it screams until it’s taken to the doctor and treated. Do the same for your pup. Btw, if your dog has a minor ear infection, you can take it to a groomer to have it flushed for way cheaper than a vet. Don’t wait until it’s really bad.
About dolphins trainers... The dolphins do tricks and different evolutions, to *DON'T STARVE TO DEATH!* After they do trick well, they get food as a reward, they don't do it for the fame, charisma or others to envy them, but for the sake of surviving and not *starving to death* its like dolphins trainers are torturing dolphins and forcing them to do something they don't want to, so if you want to save them, just don't go to dolphins trick things where you watch them do tricks, by the time people will realise its bad job and will get paid less, so training dolphins won't be a thing

Flight attendant might be the least appealing job to me. It's the exact opposite of what I would ever want. It's like being a maid, nanny and public speaker while also being relied on to help save lives or just resign myself to death if our metal tube with wings gets into any sort of trouble. Also since I'm out of my 20s, getting married in two weeks, and have two lovely children, I can't say I'm still interested in jobs with alot of traveling. I'll keep my remote SysAdmin role. Bonuses, salary, benefits, and I can do the job in my pajamas.
Firefighter/EMT a lot of people think its fires all day everyday. Reality is, very few fires in a year (this is good and bad at the same time) most of what you do is cleaning and tending the station and most of your calls are BS, EMS calls tend to be "little old lady fall down go boom" also the pay is complete shit. But the work itself can be very rewarding. I would not suggest it as a career path though. Do it part time or on a call company for your local town.
@@Dwight_ did used to be like that in the United States but and this varies depending on the region and state you are in a lot is expected of us for minimum wage pay and firefighting is a difficult and stressful job sometimes when we experience difficulties with the job you know our biggest killers are heart attacks and suicide instead of helping us the government gets rid of us
Real estate agents, I don't know from personal experience but from a lot of stories I've heard over the years. Real estate agents don't have an exacted salary every year. You can stay at the job and not make any sales
This is my own experience. Work at a nightclub,bar,brothel,strip club. Done them all.currently work at a ratchet as hell strip club. Hell,call it what it really is,a nudie bar. Not a performer. I set up the locker room,do bar run,coat check,etc.
Ive got one. Being a young doctor in a public/state hospital. After (lets say, 10 years) of beating your ass studying, depression, anxiety, and much much self loathing, you get your degree. You will be treated like shit by the patients who have flu for 3 days and get angry at you because you checked first on the guy with a 4 stab wounds at the chest (ITS CALLED TRIAGE!!!). Its not like the TV series or movies, where doctors get paid mountains of money adn just have to do little to no work (Scrubs, House, The good doctor, Greys Anatomy. They are al PURE BULLSHIT!!!). You spent days in the hospital working 36 to 48 hours straight without being able to seat down, but at the first second you get time to relax and sit down to rest, some Karen will take a picture of you and post it on social media with some crappy hashtags like #NoVocation #DoctorsSuck. They always ask "What about your fucking hippocratic oath!?!" No, nobody makes it, and no, it doesnt say doctors work for free. If you are lucky (or move some stings) you can get a job at a nice clinic a nice hospital or at least have patients that will be respectfull and understand you also are human is nice. Many people see you and dont trust you because you are a 27 years old doctor, they think we dont know a shit. TL,DR. Its a 50/50 love/hate relationship. Some days are good and you feel great with yourself for being able to help, and other days you just want to die.
The airsoft one must be terrible my friends and I went paint balling and a guy shot at the refs and got kicked out and another time these grown men (probably late 20’s) shot me and my friend point blank and we had a full on argument about this (my friend and I were 12 and 13 at the time) I fucking hate dipshits in paint ball and airsoft
Well I am a professional musician and do not have much to complain except that its pretty hard to take vacations and I do not have an insurance, medicals, retirement pension or anything like that... Working-wise you just gotta be calm in stressful situations, know how to negotiate and never be late for nothing. I actually love my job and would never trade it for nothing else.
With regards to being POTUS, I've heard that the job ages one twice as fast as other occupations. I also remember Bill Clinton saying of the White House, "I don't know whether it's the finest housing establishment in the United States or the crown jewel of the prison system."
Railroading... Yeah it's fun watching the movies and chasing the rare trains with a camera but being on a train working is very labor intensive work both physically and mentally. You are gone for days on end, there are so many safety rules you MUST follow because EVERYTHING on the railroad can possibly kill you. The pay is great but it is not an easy job - I had a Union Pacific railroad engineer explain it to me one day while working on communications equipment in a locomotive in the yard. Radio communications service provider and RF Engineer - Yeah you are on call for customers and companies pretty much 24/7/365
Pilot. You have to work with min. hours of sleep for days without being home. Also, pilots bid for flying jobs. Basically the lowest amount a pilot is willing to do. Yes you look cool af walking down the airport, but it’s burn out central. I’ve wanted to be one for a long time. But with my cultural background it is hard for me. But with all the work you have to do. No
My story, weed farmer. A lot of the duties are just cleaning and maintenance. Small things on the plant do come up, but really it's just defoliating/tagging and like I said A LOT of cleaning. Tires you out heavy but it does feel very rewarding. Also no, no free weed 😢 (at least for me)

I'd say most jobs are made/broken by who employs you. People say being a game dev is shite, but if you're working at valve, getting paid well to work on whatever the fuck you feel like then it cant be that bad. Just avoid the mass employers like EA and Activision, as they dont give 2 shits
@Squirrel My point was its less the work itself and more the environment. The most entertaining, easy job in the world could be made hell on earth by a bad boss, while a very shitty job could be made awesome
To add onto the guy who says Commercial Pilot, while being a commercial pilot can actually be a pretty good job with really good pay, the problem, the training is so expensive, then u have to fly for the regionals which only pays as much as a McDonalds employee with long hours, and then after all that u can move onto the big carriers and get good pay, or ya know, go the Cargo Pilot route and not only have a job that pays 70k base salary on starting and going past potentially 200k for more senior captains, add that with a better more relaxed schedule and more home time compared to the regionals and passenger airlines, and you can now see why there is a critical pilot shortage.
Retail, ESPECIALLY grocery retail. You get treated like shit by 90-99% hair-brained customers who leave their common sense at home because they know they can get away with it. And they constantly demand items that you ran out of due to poor management and/or shipping issues. And if you work in the Dairy department, 1) they expect you to know the WHOLE STORE, which you may get familiar with (until the next remodel), 2) they expect you to carry eggnog past Three Kings Day when you don't, 3) they expect the ice cream to be in your department when it's actually in Frozen Foods, 4) they yell at you for something being expired when they clearly don't read the actual expiration date and don't know what day today actually is, and finally, 5) you're expected to do the work of 2-5 people because X and Y coworker called out, is on family leave, got fired, or just plain quit. Never doing that job again...
Circus Performers. The circus is not as popular as it was in the old days. Too many “bad circuses” have become a stereotype and given the rest of them a bad name, and they tend to be very insular.
Being a professor. 99% of them don't get paid anything, are drowning in debt, and either make tenure (after 6ish years of teaching and researching for pennies) or stay benefit-less contractors forever.
I am suprised game devolopment didn't dominate the thread but i think if its your true passion you will still love it. Sadly most people who do it don't aren't in it because they are passionate about it but because of the money. Honestly this goes for most other jobs as well.
Lots of jobs at FBI, NSA and CIA are pretty much desk jobs. You do what you'd do at normal corporate offices (with a twist), just for somewhat better pay and under really strict NDA.

Unemployed. You have all the time to do anything but no money to do so, and you have to look for a job because you have no money.
A friend of mine is a trust fund kid who's completely miserable and has no direction or purpose.
"You have all the time to do anything"
Unless you're a college student who's not on break :(
If you're not going to any sort of school/are on break from school, here are other bad things about being unemployed that I should add to your list:
1. You see all your other friends and many other people your age working, and therefore feel very lazy.
2. You aren't gaining work experience, meaning you might have trouble gaining the job you want when you get older.
3. Not only do you not have enough money to do what you want, you also aren't saving money for when you need to become an independent adult one day.
I'm 21 and I have never had a job (tried to get one before, other times I haven't had time), and I'm very worried about getting older because of the lack of money.
Bro you're a young college student. You definitely don't have to worry about unemployment. Finish college, do a small job for a while to rack up some experience, and you're golden.
Just don't try to reach for the stars on your first grab, unless you're THAT smart. A lot of jobs value your work experience over your school grades.

Being a surgeon. You study for 15 years or more depending on the specialty and sub specialty. Get a lot of burnout because of all the studying and shit. Then when you see you first paycheck and salary, your like "Well this is worth the sacrifice", until you notice your student debt and the amount of money one has to pay for malpractice insurance and shit. Like if want to be a surgeon, just be prepared to have the worst burnout and shit. Oh BTW Im not a emergency surgeon however my best friend is and he tells , the worst part is when you save someone life their family comes and thanks god and not you (when you sacrifice your time and peace at rest), but when the patient die they say its your fault and sometimes they sue you because of emotion

If you are a software developer, do not become a game developer. Do another job and do it in your free time.
You will be so much more rewarded by working in IT, or doing AI/ML stuff.
@@jaredgarbo3679 It is true. I'm pretty bored by the thought of doing AL/ML stuff personally, but there is so much demand for it. Don't mind IT stuff, but less interested in it in the long term.

Once I found out that I would be stuck working 60+hrs a week, having insanely tight dead lines, and paid around minimum wage for years with a small chance I "might" get salary (this is what our professors told us day one of freshman year), I noped out the idea of working in the game industry.

Doctor (any specialty)
-Long hours with no overtime pay
-You take your work home
-Forget about work/life balance unless it is some 9-5 specialty (psychiatry)
-You make a decent pay that will get gobbled up by taxes and $500k student loan
-Most of the time is charting and documenting your patient's cases
-Little spare time you have will be spent on studying to renew your licence, or in court over false claims about "malpractice"
-Forget about watching your kids grow. Before you know it, they will be 20 and pointing fingers at you, telling you're shitty parent
-Depression and suicide among doctors are common. All the stress and burnouts without any rest will push many doctors to take their own lives.

I was a personal assistant to a rich person in NYC, which sometimes involved being in close quarters with their friends. Actual work was OK, but the people were exhausting. It was all 40 - 60 year olds that were popular in high school and everything was about keeping up appearances. Eventually I learned that many had less money than they put on and were hanging on by a shoe string. One was pretending to be younger to attract men and I had to keep her age secret after I found it out. Stuff like that. None of them could just admit they were normal people, everyone was always trying to one up eachother. One even pretended to own an apartment they rented. Why lie and try to so hard to keep up the lie?

Being employed at a bank. People think you work for a bank and that means you make a lot of money. In most cases, this could not be further from the truth. I work for a bank in the IT department for many years and I was paid just a little above minimum-wage for the eight years I worked there. I had a lot of responsibilities and accountability. My Christmas bonus one year was a coupon for one dollar off a carton of eggnog at the grocery store. That was in my bonus envelope. Bankers are notoriously cheap when it comes to paying their employees true fact

Nobody ever brings up the liability. Nobody every brings up the reality in any way

Alice Reading sometimes we think we love something, but only love it from the outside. I wanted to go to work for the railroad like my dad, and I was a huge railfan. I never realized how miserable the first 20 years would be until it finally clicked why my dad was against me following in his footsteps and I failed out before I started the first day on the job. I’ve been in Water Treatment for four years and love this job everyday.
As a current commercial pilot, the information on that is old.
Pay and QOL has been increasing significantly. It wasn’t uncommon for new pilots at regional carriers to be making 20k a year. Now it’s closer to 50-70k a year. Still not insanely high but it’s enough to live on. You get promoted to captain in an average of 2 or 3 years and your income nearly doubles. Do that for an additional 2 or 3 years and now you can go to Spirit, Southwest, United, American, ect and your income goes from 130 starting out and capping off at 250k to 350k.
Sucks to be on the road half the month, but the other half of the month your off and you don’t bring you’re work home with you. + free travel benefits are nice.
Really a great career to get into these days. The pilot shortage is the real deal. Have your licenses and can fog a mirror? You’re set.
I love my job. Every job has annoying things about it but the fact that you’re in control of a huge metal cylinder hurtling through the atmosphere at 500 miles per hour helps quite a lot.
So your rich?
dont be a chode dude
No, grew up in an average 1 story house. Parents divorced, all that shit.
Constantly struggled to pay bills and make ends meet. Worked my ass off to save up some money and build my credit.
After building up some credit and finding a co-signer, I co-signed on a loan to pay for flight training.
70,000$ @ 9% interest was the best we could do.
Now my payments are 820$ a month.
Which Sucks, But The job pays decent (staring around 3,500 a month fresh out of flight training) and I don’t have kids or anything so I can make ends meet and still have some cash left over for savings/ screwing around.
It was and is tough to pay for flight school. Unfortunate that it’s the reality. But you don’t need to be Donald Trump rich to find a way to afford it. Consider it as an investment. Spend the money now/go into debt and then 10 years down the road you have a wonderful career making 6 figures and your job is to fly a jet around the world.

The one about traveling for work is true. I used to make $2,000 a week as a truck driver. I got to meet some interesting people and see some truly beautiful parts of the country. Always having money to spend was nice and since you live in your truck there aren't many bills to pay. After 5 months I was miserable. It's a lonely life living on the road. All I wanted was to be with my family. On the road, every person you meet is a stranger. There's never a real connection. You might be wondering why not just talk on the phone? Because people have jobs during the day and after work they're too tired chat. Also not to mention people these days seem to fear talking on the phone for some reason. I left that job behind when the loneliness became too much. I work a 9 to 5 now. I make way less money, but I'm so much happier.
I know it's hard to believe, but money really doesn't solve all your problems. Maybe a few, sure, but not all. And new problems will still pop up all the time. I also want to note that the reason I decided to drive was because I was poor, homeless, and sleeping in my car. I was happier in my car.

Vet tech, only 1/4 the job is puppies and kittens, all the sad stories and pets in poor health that sometimes the owners put them through, injuries are highly likely to happen, pretty much getting scratched and bitten, doing all this with a very low pay, they get paid very little and it upsets me
Kreative Sonic I’m a dog handler and groomer. I can relate to this a lot. I get bit, scratched, and bruised all the time. I also clean a lot of poop. Only get $10 an hour, but on the bright side, our boss is cool and pays for all the employees pet needs like food and treats.
Margot Abihabib omg $10? I do the same as you and I only get $8.50, I only mentioned Vet tech because I work with them and trying to work to become one in the future so I already know how bad the job can be
Kreative Sonic the first kennel job I had was only $9/hr and I had “I don’t get paid enough for this” moments every day. My new kennel job pays 10, we get commission on baths and nail trims, and the owner pays for our pets food and treats. It’s also a way better work environment. I was a vet assistant at one point and I never want to work in a clinic again 😅
One thing that is at least a benefit of being a vet tech is that at least the market is widening and there's multiple pathways you can take aside from just working in some clinic. You could get into the laboratory setting, do large animal necropsies, wild life rehab, etc.

Zachary Jollimore Maybe they just don’t care? Most humans didn’t until recently. Dude rapes a slave? No biggie. Lord rapes a peasant? Who cares? Christian rapes a heathen pagan? God ordained the punishment. Viking rapes a villager? That’s the spoils of raiding. Even nowadays in Muslim areas, guy rapes a girl and the girl is prosecuted. No one cares. Why should dolphins?

Traveling for work is awesome every minute, standing in the security lines is paid and you´ll have new plases, situations and people to work with all the time. I met the love of my live in africa because of that-

I do background checks on people for a living. Yes I get to see all their personal business and I have access to previous reports that have been done. But the pay really sucks because anyone can operate a basic computer program so supply and demand is not in your favor as an employee
I knows it 5 years late, but what programs do you use & how 5o get into this? Can you do it on the side or spare t8me for amusement.
Scientist, depending upon what field you're trying to get into and what degree you have when you graduate. In any event, it's hard as hell to land any type of lab job, a Bachelor's degree being the bare minimum nearly 90% of the time. Not to mention, the pay is livable, but shit. The people earning the big $$$ have high-end doctorate degrees, lots of experience, and are doing drug R&D type research. Otherwise, you'll be earning $15 an hr, maybe $17 an hr if you're lucky and find the right place. All that STEM/STEAM stuff is kind of bull crap because it's mostly love what you do because you're not going to get paid for shit lest you find a good boss and a private entity.
How bout an engineer?
Good God, it sounds like humanities! I am very sorry to hear that our scientifically-interested brethren (and sistren) are having the same problems!! Although we don't have the private entity option, it's true...
@@blixten2928 The colleges get me the most. They act like used car-salesmen, through and through. All of them try to BS you burns me up, saying look at the "statistics" of the opportunities.

If you want to work in well payed scientific R&D either in the industrial sector or at universities you essentially need a PhD - probably a lot because a PhD is not something you just apply for AFAIK, the university gives you the opportunity and priviledge because your potential stand out from the rest of the students. This itself is an astronomic merit that puts you in contrast with someone who even has a masters degree. More than this, a lot of what you do when studying for the doctoral degree is research, so in a way you already have a few years of experience in R&D when you get your PhD degree.

Scientist:
You think you will be inventing some new genius theory? Hahahaha! Think again. It's much more akin to a gold rush. You fantasize hitting it rich, only to come to the town after a long and arduous journey to see hundreds of people already digging and panning all over the place on their small patch of land. Good luck getting anything more than a few small nuggets. You spend years learning, say, string theory only to arrive at the damn place to see that whatever you wanna try it's been already tried ten times over. In fact, your best bet is to become competent in some more obscure area and bide your time, gaining expertise until perhaps one day things in that or a near-by area of science suddenly explode and the whole field you're in is thrust into the forefront.
Actual work? Only about 10-20% of time will you get to be engaged in 'solid' science (solving equations/building experiments), you know, the exciting brain-busting part of science that was the reason you signed up to the whole thing. The rest? Drudge work: writing code, taking measurements, running simulations, plotting graphs, writing papers and, everyone's favorite, responding to referees. As you get older, even this starts to wane and you spend more and more time managing others, writing proposals, sucking up to those with power and money, and all that high-end administrative stuff you definitely didn't sign up for, but now realize is vitally important for your research to continue, not to mention research of the people that now depend on you, like PhD students and post-docs.
And at the end of your career you'll have papers to show for. If you're lucky and skillful, you'll have an h-index of at least 20, the mark of a successful professional career. That means a whopping 20 papers of yours got mentioned at least 20 times each by other papers. (Nobel Prize territory is around 60+, though there have been some notable exceptions, for example Peter Higgs has a notoriously low h-index of around 10.)
So congrats. You spent all your life learning, struggling, very often battling depression, battling the Impostor Syndrome, stressing like hell and sacrificing tons of time and effort, all for the joy of making a modest improvement in an extremely specialized area of knowledge that perhaps only a two-digit number of people in the world could truly understand and appreciate. And then you either get called 'genius', which very much minimizes all the hard work you put in, or have to deal with a bunch of idiots with their pet theories and conspiracies who believe scientists are just charlatans who have no idea what they're talking about.
Cheers!
Academia is basically like being a doctor without the money and even higher mental health issues due to "not accomaplishing anything". As a doctor you at least get a decent pay and when you do your work, you help people and save lives. As a researcher, you work inhumanly hard to produce this paper that 5 prople will read and cite if maybe needed. Oh an not to mention how ridicolously difficult it is to get the job. Doctors are usually high in demand, but there is about a job opening per 100 people in academia...
Still aspiring to become a mathematician, but Im realistic. I will do EVERYTHING to get a PhD though, because I WILL do real research one day in math, even if noone cares about it and if I fail my career. Ill look for the industry job offerings well before I exit my PhD, if I ever get that far that is...
Not to mention the "Public or Perish" culture. While in college studying Biotech, I wanted to enter academia, but it wasn't until doing my bachelor's thesis that I discovered how highly demanding your health and personal life can be. I love research, but I am a human being and have seen many cases where colleagues sacrifice their whole life in research.

1)Eta=gains/effort. Is this worth it?
2) Why would someone do PhD? So that one day, in 20 years he could be university professor? Is that motivation for majority?
3) Do you think it would be better if you had industry career? Your knowledge and intelligence would be noticed there as well.

Record producer/engineer. Sounds like a great time working with great musicians and sculpting/molding their hits, right?
Wrong. What you get instead is drummers who can't keep time, vocalists who can't sing on key, guitarists who overplay, bass players that show up stoned, no one's rehearsed, and you get to deal with endless amounts of unrelated drama, like girlfriends, boyfriends, etc...
Then when the recording is all done and the mixing starts, everyone files in to the control room where the vocalist wants the vocals louder, drummer wants the drums louder, etc... all the while making lousy suggestions that will just ruin the track. Half the time you just bite your lip and do what they want because they're paying for the studio time.
After that, you spend time mixing down a song that's absolutely horrible and no one would ever want to willfully listen to, and the "artists" are all "sounds good bro!". God forbid you get a blues band. That's paint-by-numbers music and has the lowest barrier to entry, hence why so many people play it. Even bad rap is better.
It's like American Idol where everyone sees the singer is terrible... except for the singer. The vast majority of all musicians are, frankly, awful, and are not interested in getting better, just having their egos stroked. This is, incidentally, why I never chose that career path. All it took was working in a studio for one summer to turn me away from it.
Thanks a lot man, I just dedicated my life to audio engineering. Everything you mentioned holds up but I also think passion trumps these situations. If you're doing it to pay the bills, you will suffer, but if you love the craft of recording/mixing as I do, you'll do it for free.

Here in Europe it's not much better. Just this summer I worked with Serbs and Bosnians doing x ray pipe welding at chemical plants and oil refineries for 9€/hr. The accomodations many of them lived in were shit too. So you got German companies contracting labour from Slovenian firms (or any EU country where min wage is low) who in turn make work visas for Bosnians, Serbs, Romanians, etc and send them to work in a foreign country and share a 3 bedeoom apt with 7 otger people for €9/hr

@@snoproblem just to clarify, I wasn't the one making €9/hr, they were.

Yes, you get paid a lot but that's for a reason, you are expected to make life or death decisions in seconds baised on training, gut instinct, or experience and *HAVE* to be right 100% of the time or hundreds could wind up dead.
If you make the wrong decision? You can no longer work in the career field you built your life around. If people think you did it on purpose? Jail, for life, or worse in some cases. If you were found to be negligent? Jail, for life. If the pilot fucks up or a mishap happens and a plane crashes but it's not your fault at all? *MONTHS* of investigations, drug tests, harrassment by investigators all intent on trying to prove that the crash was somehow your fault and throw you in prison because it could never be the pilot's fault, why would they want to die? Not to mention the stress of potential civil lawsuits by the families. (I've seen the investigations and civil lawsuits happen before) And on top of that you get to live the rest of your life living with the people who died under your care looming over your shoulders.
All in all the job is relatively easy once you get the hang of it, but the feeling of looking at a dot on radar and visualizing multiple lives being represented by that dot is always there.

Who knew I was a shit in as I watch this in my home
I’m a dog handler at a doggy daycare and boarding facility; I used to work at a kennel. It sounds awesome to be surrounded by dogs all day, but it’s shit. Literally. I scoop so much poop. It’s also really sad when a geriatric dog comes in. They typically don’t have good control over their bladder or bowel movements and end up laying in their pee and poop. Sometimes, if they have bad hips or joints, you have to help them up and help them walk. Some of them can’t see or hear well either. It breaks your heart when their owners leave them there instead of having a sitter come stay in the comfort of their house. Also, we are constantly worried about them dying while their owners are out of town. It’s also sad when dogs come in with illnesses or injuries. Even minor seeming ones like ear infections. There isn’t much we can do about it, and it’s aggravating knowing their owner is dropping money on them to go to daycare, but won’t take them to a vet for rashes, cuts, infections, etc. even if it’s not life threatening, it’s still uncomfortable and the dog can’t communicate that with you. If a baby has an ear infection, it screams until it’s taken to the doctor and treated. Do the same for your pup. Btw, if your dog has a minor ear infection, you can take it to a groomer to have it flushed for way cheaper than a vet. Don’t wait until it’s really bad.
About dolphins trainers...
The dolphins do tricks and different evolutions, to *DON'T STARVE TO DEATH!* After they do trick well, they get food as a reward, they don't do it for the fame, charisma or others to envy them, but for the sake of surviving and not *starving to death* its like dolphins trainers are torturing dolphins and forcing them to do something they don't want to, so if you want to save them, just don't go to dolphins trick things where you watch them do tricks, by the time people will realise its bad job and will get paid less, so training dolphins won't be a thing

You will be treated like shit by the patients who have flu for 3 days and get angry at you because you checked first on the guy with a 4 stab wounds at the chest (ITS CALLED TRIAGE!!!). Its not like the TV series or movies, where doctors get paid mountains of money adn just have to do little to no work (Scrubs, House, The good doctor, Greys Anatomy. They are al PURE BULLSHIT!!!).
You spent days in the hospital working 36 to 48 hours straight without being able to seat down, but at the first second you get time to relax and sit down to rest, some Karen will take a picture of you and post it on social media with some crappy hashtags like #NoVocation #DoctorsSuck. They always ask "What about your fucking hippocratic oath!?!" No, nobody makes it, and no, it doesnt say doctors work for free.
If you are lucky (or move some stings) you can get a job at a nice clinic a nice hospital or at least have patients that will be respectfull and understand you also are human is nice. Many people see you and dont trust you because you are a 27 years old doctor, they think we dont know a shit.

You are gone for days on end, there are so many safety rules you MUST follow because EVERYTHING on the railroad can possibly kill you. The pay is great but it is not an easy job - I had a Union Pacific railroad engineer explain it to me one day while working on communications equipment in a locomotive in the yard.
Radio communications service provider and RF Engineer - Yeah you are on call for customers and companies pretty much 24/7/365
Pilot. You have to work with min. hours of sleep for days without being home. Also, pilots bid for flying jobs. Basically the lowest amount a pilot is willing to do. Yes you look cool af walking down the airport, but it’s burn out central. I’ve wanted to be one for a long time. But with my cultural background it is hard for me. But with all the work you have to do. No
My story, weed farmer. A lot of the duties are just cleaning and maintenance. Small things on the plant do come up, but really it's just defoliating/tagging and like I said A LOT of cleaning. Tires you out heavy but it does feel very rewarding. Also no, no free weed 😢 (at least for me)
When it turns out you have much more in common with a strip club bouncer than you evee realized before.
Im a Graphic Designer for a screen printing shop, sometimes we deal with that. But we don't do it unless we've worked with them before or can pay up front.
1:53 depends on the company. Some are awesome. Some are sucky (EA). Some start awesome, then turn sucky (like MicroProse). THen in a few rare cases, they start sucky and get better (like Ensemble Studios)
I'd say most jobs are made/broken by who employs you.
People say being a game dev is shite, but if you're working at valve, getting paid well to work on whatever the fuck you feel like then it cant be that bad. Just avoid the mass employers like EA and Activision, as they dont give 2 shits
@Squirrel My point was its less the work itself and more the environment. The most entertaining, easy job in the world could be made hell on earth by a bad boss, while a very shitty job could be made awesome
@Squirrel I dont think the original commenter got that though
I worked at a gentleman's club for 7 years. That guy was preaching the truth.
To add onto the guy who says Commercial Pilot, while being a commercial pilot can actually be a pretty good job with really good pay, the problem, the training is so expensive, then u have to fly for the regionals which only pays as much as a McDonalds employee with long hours, and then after all that u can move onto the big carriers and get good pay, or ya know, go the Cargo Pilot route and not only have a job that pays 70k base salary on starting and going past potentially 200k for more senior captains, add that with a better more relaxed schedule and more home time compared to the regionals and passenger airlines, and you can now see why there is a critical pilot shortage.
Retail, ESPECIALLY grocery retail. You get treated like shit by 90-99% hair-brained customers who leave their common sense at home because they know they can get away with it. And they constantly demand items that you ran out of due to poor management and/or shipping issues. And if you work in the Dairy department,
1) they expect you to know the WHOLE STORE, which you may get familiar with (until the next remodel),
2) they expect you to carry eggnog past Three Kings Day when you don't,
3) they expect the ice cream to be in your department when it's actually in Frozen Foods,
4) they yell at you for something being expired when they clearly don't read the actual expiration date and don't know what day today actually is, and finally,
5) you're expected to do the work of 2-5 people because X and Y coworker called out, is on family leave, got fired, or just plain quit.
Never doing that job again...
Circus Performers. The circus is not as popular as it was in the old days. Too many “bad circuses” have become a stereotype and given the rest of them a bad name, and they tend to be very insular.
Damn the traveling for working thing hit home. I don't hate it but everything he said was true.
Being a professor. 99% of them don't get paid anything, are drowning in debt, and either make tenure (after 6ish years of teaching and researching for pennies) or stay benefit-less contractors forever.
I’m glad no one mentioned air traffic control 😊
It seem like engineering sounds good right? Well NO.
You don't see them post in reddit cuz they dont have time. Lmao
I think I work with that arcade employee.
Being an adult.
I am suprised game devolopment didn't dominate the thread but i think if its your true passion you will still love it. Sadly most people who do it don't aren't in it because they are passionate about it but because of the money. Honestly this goes for most other jobs as well.
Working retail
Who thinks that is a awesome job... seriously
I dont think FBI, NSA, or CIA would actually be that cool.
Lots of jobs at FBI, NSA and CIA are pretty much desk jobs. You do what you'd do at normal corporate offices (with a twist), just for somewhat better pay and under really strict NDA.
Poor dolphins D: I mean, I dont like dolphins at all, they bore me, but stillf poor creatures, I wouldnt have em as prisioners
0:35 real, some girl told me that she would love to travel for 1.5 hours every day, I outright told her bullshit and that she would start hating it after 3 days
That bouncer story about the strippers is dead on
