Employment advice?

[Barclay]

I work in IT (Sysadmin) and highly recommended it due to its soul-killing qualities. Drives you to drink, you see.

Dig ditches. Clean pools. Deliver high-end pizza i.e. flat-bread goat cheese & cocaine pies. Chicks think it's hot.

Avoid leaf-blowing and lawn-mowing and selling oranges near on-ramps. Not so hot.

Watch porn for additional occupational advice.

Good luck.

Get a warehouse job. Forklifts are fun. Sales isn't that much fun, which is what I am mostly doing right now.

Everywhere you go, though, you have to take some type of bite of the giant shit sandwich. It's mostly a matter of how much you can stomache.

[Heathen55]

Work for the Fed. It will quickly relieve you of any fraction of a soul you may have left.

[BBoozer]

Get a fuckin' engineerin' degree. Do DIY on a saturday morning. Watch mind numbin' game shows with your kids at night. Grow up. Grow the fuck up. Grow a pair, Steve, and get yourself whatever job's on offer.

I spent 6 months out of work last year, and grabbed the first job which sounded vaguely interesting. I've now been there almost a year, and actually really like it. I work on contracts to rent excavators and other heavy construction equipment, which means a good chunk of my day is taken up learning about new and impressively BIG machinery. Before this I was a lawyer. So my advice is to cast a wide net - just try stuff out, you never know what will stick :)

I tells you: warehouse job. Especially if you are able to entertain yourself mentally. You don't have to think much, you can be as hung over, relatively, as people will just assume that you are "slow" or might not care if you are hungover. And, it's pretty universal once you have it on your resume, not that it's glamorous.

I like being stuck in the warehouse when they pull me off of sales. Hauling around 80 pound mufflers up and down stairs isn't easy, but it is as the same time.

Listen to the man. He knows what he's talking about.
Do you know what an air pillow is? Think of bubble wrap, but each bubble is about the size of a burrito. Those are air pillows.
Now, imagine taking a strip of air pillows, laying them out on the floor, and running them over with a forklift.










That's right. It sounds a lot like a tommy gun, and is almost as loud.

That makes learning to drive a forklift sound much more fun!
Yes, I'm easily pleased sometimes.

you can't really expect a reasonable response without telling us what you skills are, no? other than that, you could search for universities doing studies on the affects of alcohol on the liver. i'd expect that that means free booze. or you could take the fnz path and have fun with forklifts.

Does writing sarcastic blogs count as a skill?

But seriously, my previous jobs have all been in accounts/ office admin, but with no formal qualifications or certificates. I have about ten years job experience, but skills? The last five or sx companies I did accounts for went bankrupt. So the word "skill" is stretching it a bit! I could give great advice on what NOT to do in business matters, because I've seen so many fail.

This. Listen to him, he speaks truth. I'm hungover, at work, hiding in a corner of our warehouse while I type this, and nobody cares.

Contract killing is a business always in need of new recruits...Relieve stress and waste people at the same time, it's a perfect combination.

If I get to pick the victims, I'm sold on this one!
