Could it be done by another person? Are you just paid to sit around all day?

Its not very easy tbh. I've seen way more people fail miserably at it than be adequate or even good. I've probably seen 2 other people I'd consider better than me over the last 5 years, out of dozens. Good for job security though, if youre good at it its obvious and they wanna hang on to you. Kind of a dead end job though, probably maxes out at $35 an hour if I stayed for 10 years which is pretty bad.

On a good day I'm payed to just sit around and be a house wife for a living (cooking, cleaning, emotional support, van driving for a group home) On a bad day I'm payed to get spit on, hold down aggressive Autistic people, clean up bodily fluids/solids, get yelled at by pissed off parents and try my best to convince the higher functioning client of the house not to freak out and pull fire alarms / call 911 for no reason.

I basically do gently caress all during the day unless there is some kind of computer emergency. It's real easy.

Turned out the career choice I went with is actually immensely-stressful, difficult, and not really all that lucrative for the potential danger you can be involved with. But I'm a broken-brained weirdo that somehow enjoys the challenge and cool gadgets so whatevs

Pretty loving hard except when its pretty loving easy. I cut down trees but also handle the management side of things in conjunction with the owner. Its a 7am - 7pm kind of gig more often than not. Hard days involve turning 70 foot trees into wood chips. Easy days when I don't need to roll with the crew its a few hours of office work, yelling at rich property owners to pay us, dealing with real estate agent divas who treat me like I'm a retard who cant read. I did a removal for someone once and they asked if we installed pools too. Like, what the gently caress? Thats when I realized many people just categorize anybody who works for a living a "worker," regardless of all the differences and skillsets. I'm just someone you can ask to do things because you have money. Cutting trees down, installing pools, HVAC, stonemasons...all just plebs really, ask us to do things and we probably will. 20 Blunts fucked around with this message at 21:33 on Aug 28, 2017 |

This sounds like dealership technician, which is actually awesome because that 35/hour can be as high as 80 hours a week depending on how efficient you are. Then, if you want even more money you become service manager

My job is definitely one that requires a certain set of skills. Everyone talks. You just find the string and pull. Some of my colleagues will grind away for six or seven hours, like a castrated dog humping a leg for old time's sake. People want to tell their story. You just draw it out of them.

90% is mind numbing busy work that could easily be outsourced to a community college kid. 10% is sufficiently challenging that they actually need me and my elite skills.

If you're poo poo at identifying the source of an issue then you're just straight hosed, I don't care what you do for a living. My coworker started the same day as me, we do the same job, and after 2 years he's only making 10% more than what he started at while I'm making almost 60% more plus promotions within the team. Dude seems to spend 60+ hours a week cursing the gods that he can't get his workload completed sprint after sprint. Thank god he's on a separate subteam and isn't bringing my KPIs down. Job isn't even that hard.

I spend a lot of time dicking around, like right now, but my job involves a lot of research skills and interpretation that I've only learned through years of experience. My job used to be 2 FT employees and a manager, then it got moved to my office where it was me and a manager. Then my boss moved on and I've just been doing the same work in about 2/3rds of my time and picking up other work. If I were to leave it would absolutely be a 2 FT employee job until the new guy figures it out. But I've got most of it hotkeyed, macro'd, and pre-researched so I can fly through it.

I work in dental hygiene. I administer local anesthesia, take and interpret x rays, chart and asses the health of a patient's dentition, clean, maintain, polish, place sealants, do root planing, and a bunch of other poo poo. It's very easy if you are trained and educated adequately, but that takes a long time.

My job isn't technically complex, and all you need to do it well is a smattering of knowledge of industry guidelines, and just a bit of common sense - enough to think holistically about any given problem, and to get out of your own head a bit. But at least once a month I have to look after interns/work experience kids who are desperate to do the job that I do. Some of these people are in, or have just left very prestigious universities studying the exact job that they're interning at, and I honestly wouldn't trust them to sit the right way round on a toilet, let alone give them anything important to do. It's an easy enough job, but it attracts a very particular kind of person, and oddly enough they are just the goddamn worst people for actually doing it. I also believe that a gently caress load of people who have never heard of my job, and wouldn't be interested in it anyway would be perfectly competent at it with a week of training.

Job difficulty is relevant it seems, for years I used to work extremely long hours and it was pretty intense poo poo, now I work half as much but it still seems really difficult and I don't know how I managed it before, but I bet if I went back to my old job it would feel normal again. Basically life is hard for a retard jacker
