Hi Mr. Seattle fag
I work at a golf course. Hopefully I can finish my degree in aeronautical engineering and work for someplace like space x or blue origin.
I work in online marketing and data collection!
AEMT fag here
Sales and contracts analyst for a software company. It could be a lot worse, other than the fact that my stupid leaf coworkers are constantly on about "the gun problem in America".
I'm a butcher but looking to get into different work soon.
Protip it's 11am in america right now on a monday so the only people replying are going to be NEETs and people in tech based jobs where they have the luxury of being able to sit on Jow Forums at this time of day.
Hello
Actually I'm on my four days off. I work 48/96 hour shifts
Me too, what a coincidence. May I ask
>where you are

>would you like to receive our newsletter
Nice. A small percentage im sure but we out there homie.
Land surveyor. Make maps nigga.
And get to carry! My boss even helped pay for my first handgun.
I sell cars at a small, hometown dealership. Ford, dodge, ram, Jeep, and Chrysler. Everyone I work with is very pro gun including the dealership owners. We all go drink at the VFW on Wednesday’s and go shooting on the weekends.
I wonder if I know you, I grew up less than 5 miles from where that pic was taken.
Mah nigga. I Was a surveyor in the mountains before I started selling cars.loved that job
For sure. Work two days straight get four days off in a row can't beat it
Teach at a vocational/trade school. Employer pays for my housing and there's plenty of good spots to hike around here.
Welder-fabricator
I'm a CPA and audit for a medium sized regional firm. Pretty comfy
I'm a baker.
I moved to washi gton in 2013. This is just a job I'm on right now. This is a view from the new Amazon building.
I work in a call centre for a major car company. I think about suicide all the time, although I know things can only get better at this point. Eurofag so amn't able to purchase guns at the moment, although I want to join a shooting club soon.
I have a marketing job but that goes towards other bills. I make money for guns by donating my blood plasma 2x a week.
Front Range surveyor in CO reporting!
Please don't tell me I have the least queer job here. PLEASE.
I'm a security guard at a government building, but I work for a shitty low rent company. If I work suicidal overtime it pays about $1000 a week, on straight 40hrs it only pays $500 a week.
I drive a school bus. The pay isn't great, but I get a lot of free time. Also, all of your kids are little shits who only behave when you're watching them.
Likely not then, at least you have plently of work.

You're not contacted via your employer?
Based and CFIpilled
I am, my company won the state contract bid and sent me over here.
I work for one the Largest rent to own companies in the US. I work in the collections part of it. It's shit pay for what I do but it's what I know. About 2200-2400 a month on a good month.
Grad student in stem cell biology. I'm in STL with low cost of living, so we live comfortably with both my stipend and my wife's salary to buy guns and ammo. Not enough range time though, I always end up working most of the weekend away.
Question for you: Are stick welders inferior to MIG or TIG in terms of the strength of the weld they can form assuming equal power between them?
I'm no metallurgist so I could be wrong but in my opinion, not really. Usually, big strong stuff is welded using flux cored (the real serious kind, not the stupid garbage sold at department stores) or metal cored wire but stick can hold its own no problem. For DIY purposes stick welding is EXTREMELY underrated, with good rods and a halfway decent hand it produces very high quality, strong welds.
Oh so you're a state level contractor? That explains the shit pay
Im a crane operator.
AV Project Manager. Currently in New Orleans for a few more days. Philadelphia in a few weeks. San Diego after that.
Firefighter/EMT in a moderately sized midwestern city
>for any other smokeeaters in here, truck is superior to engine
Industrial gas supply call center fairly slow most days so I troll around for ammo deals and such
Stick is used in heavy manufacturing, plates 1/2”+ like ships and structural steel.
It gets worse when you're a leaf in the army reserve and new recruits start arguing that we need more gun control in both Canada and the United States.
Much to the chagrin of senior staff.
i'M A SCHOOL TEACHER
Bouncing between shitty warehouse and retail backend jobs, shit sucks. Really need to figure out a plan to get in shape and start learning some Spanish for Border Patrol.
No habla esponole sinor frogs
'A'EMT so like you wanted to spend money on paramedic school without actually going to paramedic school?
Yeah, I know how to stick weld, but not well. I keep looking at the prices for a MIG or TIG and it's so much more than regular stick, so I was curious if there was a difference in quality of weld. It would only be for hobby/gun stuff, I kinda want to do an AK flat receiver with welds.
Still in college only 22. But I made close to 10k from crypto using some funds from internships and work in the past. So I used a little bit of that to fund my shooting hobby, got myself a glock 19 a year ago, got pretty good with it I practiced a lot. Can get consistent 3" groups at 15 yds. Not much experience with rifles or shotties tho
Also fuck Texas for not having any public land bunch of faggot baby boomers bought everything up its expensive as shit to hunt or shoot in the forest as god intended. Utahans get to larp in the desert for free and I can't reee
Yuro studying process engineering (chemical engineering). Living at home really helps.
i am 20, work at jimmy johns living with my parents and i own a smith and wesson m&p 15-22 and a hex reciever Mosin Nagant that was supposedly a finnish capture. My next purchase i am planning to get one of two things, a short barreled AK(m92 pap with stock) or a beretta 92fs. I paid for my fire arms cause my parents dont really like them but they will shoot them with me when i ask to go to the range. Its pretty fun, its like instead of father taking son out shooting, its son taking father out shooting lol
>What do you do for a living to help fund your firearms obsession?
i take bullshit online classes and spend all of my Pell Grant money on guns now, ever since I completed my bug out bag
I teach night classes at a college

Software developer. I work mostly on backend / server stuff using a mix of C, C++, and Python. I also occasionally work on some Java stuff. The pay is good and I really enjoy the work.

Anyone hiring anywhere near Norfolk VA? I am trying to make my way there Asap. Prior-Marine Infantryman open to any work.

Oil and gas lab tech in Houston. I mostly run X-Ray equipment but also do work with saws and hand tools and shit. It's a bretty gud job, hours are fucky but that usually means OT. I don't care for living in the city but at least there is no shitty gun control here unlike NYC, LA, Chicago. People also tend to be friendlier here than most other urbanites, that may just be a Texas thing.
Oil and gas? There's a lot of swing shift shit like that in the oil bidness.
Sounds /komfy/ as fuck.
Haha, wow what if you hid a firebomb on a long time delay fuse in the building so that it went up in flames when those fucking techie leftist parasites inhabited their new cuckhive haha wow that would be such a funny prank.
BFV was always good, although Eve of Destruction had some more fun elements to it. BF1942 DC was where the real fun was to be had.
Fuck it's hard to argue with that view. What parts of your job do you not enjoy?
Good God that sounds fucking miserable.
Heavy equipment operation is the most fun I have while at work. It's a 12000lb rated forklift so it's modest by most operator standards but holy shit it is fun. If money wasn't a factor I would definitely be a forklift driver full time. I totally get why those autistic German gamers buy forklift simulators now.
If you're stuck in warehouse for much longer, get a forklift cert and do that. The pay is typically better and it's fun.
The lack of public land is annoying, but it's there if you look for it. My nearest public hunting and shooting is Sam Houston National Forest but it's an hour drive at least.
I'm in the middle of a gap year mooching off my parents before I start med school in August. I worked part time during undergrad to afford my gats.
This is going to ruffle your feathers, but I would recommend you spend what cash you have on good, solid job training. I'm not necessarily talking about college, if you aren't a good student you won't hack the majors that pay anyways. However, if you can get a certification to operate a CT scanner or a sonogram then you can be making $60k plus a year in a cushy medical gig with zero debts. Many counties are in need of medical workers and so they will pay for at least some, if not all, of your community college courses. Seriously, look into it. I operate a CT scanner these days and sometimes I wish I had skipped college and just gone straight for this job.
I got a pretty worthless albeit still STEM degree and haven't been able to earn more than $20/hour, inside or outside of my field. Since my credits transferred I'm working on a bachelors in electrical engineering and after fall I'll have an associate's in EE for defense contract technicians. After another year I should have the bachelor's done since I've got a lot of the credits out of the way through my meme degree. If I take one extra course they'll give me a certificate in management too, so I'll probably do that.
At this point I've worked so many jobs, all shitty, I just want to be well compensated for my time.

How did you get into it? My friend is a surveyor but he didn't apply or intend to be one, just got offered a job by someone who owned a business and was fond of him
Land Surveying Master race
Got experience with forklifts and powered jacks. The repetition and enclosed spaces drive me mad, need to get radically different and have no desire what so ever to keep doing this shit.
What degree?
Auto Ordnance, I didn't want to spend 1K+ on a USGI one. It's reliable enough.
Fair enough, I mostly use the forklift to unload stuff off of trucks outdoors and occasionally move equipment around the campus so it is more intermittent and less enclosed.
Good to know, I've considered a repro because unless a fucking miracle occurs and CMP get's more M1 Carbines you are always going to be overpaying for some safe queen from a dead boomers collection.
Kinesiology. Ironically because it's a bachelor's of science I even had all of the math credits for the EE bachelor's completed. I was 17 when I started uni so I wasn't exactly well informed.
Ooph, yeah when I was in college kinesiology was regarded as the dipshit degree for nog student athletes. Funny enough I got a Barista Arts degree and now I work in STEM. The current pay is OK but I'm getting into HSE and that has a much better career path and pay scale. I'm just stuck wondering if I should go back to school and use my credits to get another degree or if certifications and job experience will be enough.
Not him but I got into it in college, the Surveying program was recruiting and I liked math and working outside so I figured I'd try it and I liked it. Started working in the summers for different companies and it was all over from there.
There's currently going to be a shortage of surveyors(especially licensed surveyors) since the average age for the job is pretty close to retirement age so companies are usually looking for new blood whether or not you have a degree or experience.

literally a constant stream of "u fukin racist wyte boi" and "I dindu Nuffin"
Hello ge cuck. You at Dayton?
>used to work for supplier of unison supplying parts for the leap
I miss that place. Now I'm a machinist at >boeing
Chris is that you?
But did they du sumfin though? What is it, mostly shoplifting and general wilding niggatry?
Yeah, the kin degree can be very easy, I had initially wanted to go into physical therapy so instead of the easy degree path I took the extra math for the physics and chemistry classes that were requirements for grad school. My degree plan was almost like pre-med, but the jobs it got me were all shit since the actual degree was a meme. Once I burned out working shitty jobs I looked into community college and realized how cheap it would be to just take the EE classes, since I had so many of the other credits and pre reqs done. I'd look into how many of your credits would transfer, since having a degree certainly wouldn't hurt and you've already taken all of the humanities, communications, government, composition and the like.
Prostitute.
NEET. Going back to college for something outdoor or disaster related when I can get medication for my ADD.
What's you take home, aside from VD and facial bruising of course?
Forklifts are boring af. Not even on the same level as a crane
Software Engineer. Living in the city sucks but the income lets me max out my 401K (with stupidly high employer matching) starting at the ripe old age of 20, and buy many guns. I'm waiting on a transfer for about a dozen gats this year alone.
less than minimum wage
