Call center agent for a credit repair organization. Definitely one of the most mentally exhausting jobs I've had.

Currently classified as a carer for my autistic kids. But I "was" a qualified computer programmer, also a certified toolmaker/fitter and turner, I did some carpentry, car mechanical, diesel fitting, electronic systems engineering for a few years, factory hand (spring and wire manufacturing). Struggling to remember what else it's been so long, I almost went to work at a refinery and missed out on being a teacher at a local college in computer programming due to someone else deliberately neglecting to inform me I was being sought for the job, missed out on a career in art due to parents saying it "had no future" (mix art and computer programming these days, no future my arse). Still, all that and I've done nothing compared to what my old man did over his life, he told me at one stage he could walk out of one job and straight into another, can't do that any more!

Yep. Parents did that one to my sister and me too. Nicely done. Should have known they meant "not the future we want" but when you're young you sometimes think your parents do know best. Like they have a crystal ball and no reason to lie to you right?

It's also where i got my experience in electronic systems engineering, they forced me into that under the pretext that it had a massive future because people always needed their video players and tvs fixed hahaha obviously they couldn't see the modern world where we throw everything away when it is broken! If I had have done the career I wanted to do rather than the one they wanted me to do I would have had a totally different life, I'm not saying I would have been more successful, but I am saying I definitely would have been happier with my career choices. The one plus is that it has encouraged me to allow my children to choose their own paths, and encourage them to success on those paths, to help make them into the best people they can be rather than try to make them into the people I want them to be.

So it's a good lesson learned. Improving your kids lives by learning from your mistakes is what it's all about. Nobody gets it right from the first try and we only have one try so if it helps get it better for our kids, it was not for nothing.

I know someone who told me that about his field [not bragging, but as a fact--I guess his skills were in incredibly high demand at the time (years ago)].
I wish it were still possible.

I work for government on a project of creating zombie slaves. They don't know I'm actually a saboteur who's giving them skills needed for achieving freedom.

Just please make sure they know there's all kinds of good stuff to eat out there. Brains are only one out of many options

Don't worry, we talk about cooking all the time. Well, not right now, it's summer break. But usually.

Right now I'm an order picker, the old fashioned way with computer printouts. I also empty containers, and I just got to reorganize our warehouse a bit. And all this at minimum wage on a casual contract, w00t.
Before this I was...an order picker, at a more modern workplace though.
Before that I worked in retail for a decade.
But I can't complain too much, I've had my share of "voluntary" gap years already. I would rather take them now than when I'm 65 and am not as nimble, just before my 2nd heart-attack....

Unemployed right now (and for the last year and a half), so I guess I am a full time college student if that counts as an occupation.
I seriously need to find a job and stop leeching money from my mother, after all I'm 28 already.

Community manager and livestream producer at a game dev studio. Really want to ditch the community part but gotta stick to it until I get good enough in video editing.

I've been working non-stop since 19, changed a gazillion of jobs and did everything except the one thing I finished the schooling for. And it could not be more disconnected than everything I did so far. I finished for a male hairdresser....
I went from heavy manual labor to cozy office jobs to getting paid to just sit/walk around and so on. Every single of these stages has been incredibly valuable to be (even though I couldn't perceive it that way at the time) and it taught me a lot about the people around me, people in general and most importantly - myself.
Right now I have one of the manliest jobs ever (if we don't count alligator wrestling) by working in a steel factory/steel mill + I can get some side dosh writing for one Australian gaming portal whenever I have free time.
