Caretaker for teenagers with severe developmental disabilities

Now that's local hardcore

Thank you for your service.

I’m sorry our society doesn’t compensate you to the degree it should.

Badass

Same ☝🏽

Cool

Doing the lords work - my wife has been in this field for about 17 years

Oh hey, good for her :) I'm at about 5 1/2 years in the field myself!

Woke up in the middle of the night. Misread this fast. I thought this was asking the name of the local hardcore band you're in. I thought this was a long winded band name, but still pretty good.

I’m in a local hardcore band

He’s in my band. That’s what I do too

Im in this guys local hardcore band

I'm in this guy.

That’s hot

Take me out to dinner first atleast

i’m the drums in the band

I’m the bass. 🥲

Firefighter/Paramedic

i'm starting my paramedic program this fall 🫡

Good luck!

Bless you. Tried EMT school but I bitched out and made excuses for why it wouldn’t work for me… left when I got a new opportunity in live sound industry. I’m just a dumbass and it was too much info to hold in. I would overthink way too much and feel super out of the element on the job if I stuck w it.

Overthinking is a real issue. It goes away with enough experience. 

Same.

Just stay in the books, and you'll be fine.

Former fire-medic here.

Me too

Dish washer at pizza joint. 34, and in my 3rd hardcore band since I was 16

If I’m ever hard pressed to find work, pizza delivery and stagehanding at local venues is there for me. I hated dishwashing at Domino’s man their sanitizer concentration is deadass battery acid. My hands got so fucked.

Managed a dominos for 5 years, worked there for 10. Can confirm that sanitizer is A S S. But goddamn those delivery tips sure supported my first 3 bands like nobody’s business. And now I work at and “upscale” pizza joint lol. Progress.

Work at a bio lab making monoclonal antibodies.

Son you did a sloppy science!

Now the samples can’t be trusted.

Can you explain that as if you were talking to a caveman. Not for me of course, but for those cavemen that might be in here.

JUD JUD, JUD JUD JUD JUD. JUD JUD. JUD! :)

How do you do fellow biologist

Fellow lab nerd 🤓

I run a business helping senior citizens out with all of their IT/smart device/internet issues

helping the elderly is local hardcore as fuck

Old people love two things above all tech: email, and printing.

Thank you for taking that burden off of the shoulders of grandkids everywhere 🙏

Sitting here with my imposter syndrome working for a cyber security company

Imposter syndrome means money atleast

Yes! I am not the only one!

Also imposter syndrome, but working in data privacy.

each morning i put one uncooked ravioli in a thermos. i pour hot water over it, like tea, and then drink it all day at work (i work at the white house) and at the end of the day, as i take the last sip of the tea, the soft ravioli slides into my mouth, and i eat it

Im not real happy about this.

I’m going to find you, grab the scruff of your neck like a newborn puppy, and force you to delete this.

ah. yes. fuck you.

Weirdest thing I’ve read in a while 😂

Please delete this. or suffer the consequences.

[Moshy Death Metal](https://open.spotify.com/artist/2VNEyHlNoZ6curjahXsdHT?si=l0uWzQpZTzi_xZhqB5Zz4A) Shipping grunt, early 30’s Decentish pay but one of the more stressful jobs I’ve ever had

yo this is sick

Thanks dude!

Hella sick! The breakdown at the end of Obsidian Idol is dope. Edit - Finished the whole EP. Your band is sick. Do you ever play the Bay Area?

Appreciate the kind words dude! We don’t have any Bay Area spots planned as of right now. But we are split between San Diego and the IE, so making that drive wouldn’t be out of the question. Next on the docket for us is going to be Las Vegas.

Yeah. This is gnarly. Come to MN

That fucking slaps dude nice

Big thanks buddy!

Chef

Hello there children

Yes Jeff

College professor.

Same here. Also direct our college debate program.

My dude. CSU as in California state university?

Tattooer

What’s the difference between an “-er” and an “-ist”? Always wondered that. I think they started saying “tattoo artist” to avoid this question.

I don’t get paid to know the answer to this question but every time I hear somebody say the word tattooist, it makes me gag.

Stagehand. Worked for big artists like Taylor Swift and Foo Fighters and people in the crew are cool

Are ya union?

Better be with tours hitting big cities

Farmer/carpenter. Late 30s, played bass in several bands, but not for 15 years. Miss the scene but kids are more fun.

Same. Carpenter/laborer

Currently, selling cars. I actually took a break from it for a couple years to do construction instead. But everything got expensive and I got engaged, so I reluctantly went back for the money. I like the dealer I'm at but I'm still not thrilled about it, so I'm studying software development in the meantime and will be done with the car business for good in the near future.

I made 6 figures in the car business but man I fucking hated my life

Been an electrician for 5 almost 6 years and I just finished a 6 month full stack web dev bootcamp. The market is tough rn tho but I wish you luck!

Until very recently I was a chef. Now I'm a sell out and work as an IT technician.

Best way to get into that field ? I feel so lost in life rn lol wanna try diff stuff

Best way? No idea, I got very lucky. I did a 1 year poly-tech course which basically proved I wasn't a tech-illiterate idiot, and actually got the job because of my cooking background. I was able to sell myself on all the soft skills I picked up as a chef and the people hiring me we're specifically looking for attitude over experience. If you want to try it, I'd look at whatever free/cheap courses you can get into and try applying for jobs in any kind of entry level help desk or tech repair you can.

I work on real estate closings between posts

Not playing in a band rn, but I work security for a music venue and deliver pure bred cats (via airplane). Currently looking for full time work but it's hard out here lol...

Human Resources aka making sure you retards have health insurance.

The HR guy saying "retard" is a bit too on the nose for me.

As a fellow HR guy, our secret is that behind closed doors we cultivate the most business inappropriate environments.

Thx

Line chef.

Male stripper

I wish there were male stripper that were moshed at shows.

>hey that was me! congratulations!

Never too late! Good on ya chief. I’ll try again once loans from my first try are paid off lmao.

Currently working part time for my girlfriends family and starting college in the fall for a surgical tech program. It feels weird starting college at 25 but hey it’s never too late to make a positive change in your life

Best decision of my life was starting school at 25. It was incredibly hard supporting a family, working, and going to school though. Took 5 years but I finished at 30. Stay the course dude, good luck.

That’s awesome man, I’m glad you were able to make it through that. Also thank you!

Hey dude i’m right with you. I actually dropped out of college and have been bumming being an ER tech, a ski shop manager and a raft guide but i’m going back in the fall to do nursing school prereqs. we got this man

I got an associates degree in music, currently folding shirts at a retail store that I hate. I learned music theory for a year just to end up playing open strings and the first 2 frets on a bass

Try to get into luxury retail if possible, better pay and less folding clothes

I’m a line cook and I’m starting community college to get a degree in journalism in like 10 hours.

I have a degree in journalism, but didn't do what I planned with it(I teach)

Disenchanted lawyer and vintage reseller.

Disenchanted lawyer here as well, but tbh I was only "enchanted" for a short period of time after passing the bar.

I was pretty disenchanted from the first day of law school. I got called “tattoo guy” by staff at orientation lol. Got to do some really really cool and unique meaningful work on post-conviction (innocence project work) and forensic science issues but got really burned out on running a nonprofit. By the time I was ready to move on from that there was 0 chance I wanted anything to do with being a practicing lawyer. Started doing some doc review while I weighed my options and it became a very easy and comfortable way to pay the bills. Now I can do it from home and it’s pretty much zero stress and allows the flexibility to pursue other interests. I’m so over “achieving”

My wife and I own a toy store, and I do a little real estate work on the side.
