[jonogunn]

Boring accounting related position. But I love my workplace, everyone is kind and understanding and not strict. I work 4 days a week and work from home. The work load isn’t heavy either.

[fixer79]

I've been working for 18 years as a 2D artist in a video game company.

[Chicken, He Clucked]

I'd dream of working as a 2D artist for a videogame company.

I work in healthcare data reporting, but I studied film, literature and art and I've been trying to get some form of creative career off the ground for the past 15 years. I've done client work, put out a couple of apps, tried selling prints, and then more recently this led to me recreating Real Ghostbusters frames in 4K. I just can't seem to break into it as a profession and time has kinda run out for me as I am officially "too old". Bummer.

Currently endeavoring to teach myself Unity so I can do 2D game development as a one-man band.

[Sav C]

I'm a student, although I worked retail for two years, all the way up until September.

I pack Vegetables at a plant that produces bags of carrots and Turnip. Those two or Three pound bags of carrots you see in the grocery stores? I pack those.

[JWils23]

In what feels like a past life I was a wildland firefighter for 10 years, but some injuries took me out of that game. Currently I work managing acoustic Guitar inventory for a large musical instrument distributor. I love music so it definitely suits me, but not a day goes by that I don’t miss being out on the fire line.

[Cheshiremonkey]

Middle school science teacher. Really need to show more 80s horror to the kids, though.

[elussya]

3d art for tabletop / miniatures

[Jessica21]

Previously, I worked as a computer programmer. My job required a great deal of skill. Like *extremely* good. I could write code in an hour or two that would take most of the guys I worked with a week or more to complete.
I used my downtime at work to write my first book.
Now that I'm in upper management, my days are filled with interruptions, meetings, and politics.
I've been trying for *months* to finish the last two chapters of my third book.

[CPU64]

Welder. Mainly on drainage systems for finfrock multilevel parking garages.

[RichardLess]

I work as a development exec/marketing liaison at film studio in Canada. I say “film studio” but we also deal in TV/music. I guess “media company” is the proper title. I’m currently on the mend after a health scare a few months back & expect to be let go as soon as I’m able to return since my entire department has been gutted in the last few weeks. Why am I telling you strangers this? I don’t know. The prospect of being let go half excites me and terrifies me. It excites me because I’ll be free to do what I want in life and it terrifies me because I no longer have the excuse of “well I can’t just up and quit my job to go do what I’ve always dreamt of doing” and the fear that I won’t succeed. Also: the money. I will miss the money. Canada isn’t exactly Hollywood when it comes to the amount of competitors I can get a job at and expect to make the same $$. Ugh…life is so much easier when your a kid and don’t have a mortgage, bills, employment concerns. It’s just school, friends, Saturday morning cartoons some chores and playing outside.


There’s a sad thought I’ll leave you with. At some point in time everyone comes inside from playing outside for the last time & didn’t realize it. Same with Toys. One day we played with our toys for the last time & didn’t even realize it. Kinda sad. Everytime I see a kid nowadays I wanna grab them & say “cherish these times! One day they’ll be gone and you can never get it back”. Remember when adults use to tell you that & you didn’t really listen? Life was carefree and wondrous.
