Lemon posted:I essentially just fill in pre-built spreadsheets with information sent to us by clients. Probably the only time it gets hard is when there are lots at once, as we have a 24 hour turnaround deadline and as it relates to payroll there's basically no room for mistakes. I'm no genius and I find it pretty easy, but I think you need to be a certain kind of person to do it well. How long until a form scraper does you job for you?

I was looking at car manufacturing videos and it looks like the hardest part of making them is either putting in the engine and transmission or installing the dashboard and connecting everything.

Jabberlock posted:I'm not currently employed in my field so I can only describe it in the abstract. My type of job can be rewarding and fun in the right position at the right times in an professional environment. The bigger issue is actually getting a decent job in the field since most small to medium companies only need one or two designers these days, so there's huge competition and a lot of people give up on it. If you're the kind of person who doesn't mind doing a lot of bullshit on the side to get the experience you need you'll generally fare a lot better. Unfortunately, since a lot of people don't think much of designers and often try to get creatives to work for cheap/free, a lot of people will do that sort of work out of desperation, cheapening the value of the work which makes people value it less which makes it harder to get good paying jobs, etc. So outside of a respectable corporate environment, it tends to be hard and often worth it for a lot of people to pursue other work.

If a simian could take the blame if something went wrong, it would being sitting at my chair, twiddling knobs, instead of me.

I work on a surgical floor in a small hospital. Maybe 75% of my job is "make sure patients get crackers and juice," and the rest is "the patient is slowly bleeding out and the nurse needs help rewrapping wounds, there is blood everywhere and the patient's family are screaming." If you can handle bodily fluids then the job is cake as far as the medical field goes. I feel pretty satisfied and not too stressed at the end of a 10 hour shift, can't ask for much else.

I'm a mobile psychotherapist visiting people in the community who have serious mental illnesses (e.g. Schizophrenia, bipolar, PTSD). I also sometimes transport these folks in my car to and from appointments or for errands. I don't DO much more than talking to people and helping them problem solve/teaching skills for managing emotions. However, not a lot of people are good at that and it's hard to have a bunch of one-way relationships with people where it's all about them and all of their problems. Plus, a lot of my folks are unlikely to see much change even over a span of years. It does give me moral high ground to shitpost from, though.

Do me the credit of assuming I have some knowledge of how the company I work for operates and the plans it has in place for the next few years.

My job is pretty easy. Most of the time we spread Texas Hold Em and outside of counting the pot until it gets to the max rake it's mostly mindless. The only time it starts getting difficult is when we spread Pot Limit Omaha and games I haven't dealt in years. In PLO you absolutely have to know what the pot is, nothing kills action game more than waiting for the dealer to count the pot. I'm generally pretty good at it, but when you get multiway action with sidepots and it's always huge money so people really take this poo poo seriously. Other then that, I like sitting on my butt throwing around cards with generally good people in the room. (Poker players are not your typical casino patrons, thankfully.)

Eh yes and no. Far as intelligence goes they write the procedures we use to be usable by a loving moron. That said, you do have to be able to work for long periods in hot, radioactive, sometimes dangerous environments and be able to do some heavy labor. I think plenty of people could do my job but a lot of people won't because they're crazy scared of radiation and/or don't like working in extremely hot environments for several hours at a time sweating their dicks off. I wouldn't recommend it for the old and/or superfat, though I myself am kinda fat and I have actually seen old superfat dudes do it as well. Tough motherfuckers, those guys.
