Your job - Darth-Apple - April 17th, 2014
What do you do for a living?
I'm just a poor restaurant worker. (And no, I don't work at McDonalds.
)
RE: Your job - Gmdykfuiygh66476 - April 20th, 2014
I'm just a bagger at a large retail place

How is your new job going so far?

I work online, doing a multitude of different tasks. You have to work twice as hard to make decent money online, as you would if you were working an offline job. It is almost as though there is this consensus that says, Ok, you aren't leaving the house or meeting other people, so we are justified in paying you peanuts lol.

It's pretty hard to even really make minimum wage online. It's not a well paying industry nowadays. At least not yet.

Tech support for a government agency, a contractor, pay's nice, long hours overnight, but I don't mind it.
RE: Your job - Gmdykfuiygh66476 - June 21st, 2017
I now work for a different retail place as a front end supervisor. It's quite stressful but it pays good enough to make it worthwhile.

Really just trying to stay ahead of the 'threats' that are out there. Make sure your systems are patched, hardened, etc. Respond to incidents of compromise. Documentation. Depends on the role of the tech.(June 21st, 2017 at 11:32 PM)brian51 Wrote: I work in landscaping in the Hot florida sunSometimes, I really miss it.

There are plenty of opportunities! Money to be made.
RE: Your job - SpookyZalost - July 1st, 2017
sure but opportunities are echoes on the wind if you don't have the paper they require to get them

True. I don't meet half the 'requirements' for the jobs I've had, just made it work somehow. Specifically a bachelor's degree. I refuse to pay that much for a piece of paper. I let my work speak for itself.
Been lucky so far. Your area really factors in if you're able to get away with some of it.
RE: Your job - SpookyZalost - July 2nd, 2017
and that's why I'm going for certifications, it's cheaper and can get you a long ways without college... besides if I'm going to waste college on something I want it to be space related, like astrobiology or something cool like that.
RE: Your job - Darth-Apple - July 3rd, 2017
You can get a lot with certifications these days indeed. Waste a lot less time and a lot less money.
RE: Your job - Guardian - July 4th, 2017
Yep, got the cert, no degree. I am doing just fine.
