Question (I'm not baiting)

Currently unemployed cos I just got back from travelling and I'm going away for two weeks again in a day so there is no point in getting a job.

I suppose I'll work in a bar/cafe when I get back and will need to work 40-50 hours to keep afloat, which is basically what I did before I left

pool boy… do you have sex with older rich ladies?

Cannibal
15-20 hours a week

A couple of times, but in both cases I met them at the gym and they were late 30s early 40s divorcees.

I push carts at the local supermarket and have been doing so for the past two years because the manager doesn't like me. I work usually around 42 hours, but I'm not full-time, so no benefits for me. I've complained to HR about this, but they don't give a fuck. I make around $300 a week, which is just barely enough to survive on. For me, at least. For other people in the store it's pretty rough because many of them have kids and work less hours than I do. I worry about them more than myself, tbh. Capitalism is suffering.

Slap your boss around some

I'm a law student and try to apply property law and contract law to Marxist theory. I hate all my classmates

However, European code law seems to have room for socialist interpretation, anglo common law looks like it is beyond saving

It's terrible, hardly anyone is full-time and hardly anyone makes more than minimum wage. It's kind of ironic since a common misconception of socialism is that everyone gets payed the same amount while at my job everyone but managers make the absolute least we could possibly be paid.

I work three days a week at home depot, and luckily for me the money is enough where I can spent the rest of my time studying or writing, but I absolutely hate my job. I'm hoping as my writing commissions increase I'll be able to quit it some day.

Capitalism can't implode fast enough.

freelance translator and interpreter, currently contracted to a firm translating manuals and documentation into mandarin chinese

work time is in practice going to be as long as how intensive my commissions are and how fast i work, but i rarely end up working for less than 40 hrs a week in any given period. since it became virtually impossible to get long-term employment in my field post-2013 cuts, i will systematically find myself unemployed in between contracts, which either cuts in my weekly hours or drastically increases them as i do subcontracted work translating and teaching on e-language websites to get by. post-graduation, i would work full-time for the state in my province as an interpreter until my function was privatized and everyone got fired.

Environmental Services at a hospital, full time.

What was learning Mandarin like? Worth it?

I work sandblasting and painting. My work has dropped dramatically lately and I get the dole. I don't see me having a job for my whole life, and the place I live has very high unemployment.

I think I work pretty hard, but there's just not enough work for me and some other guys. I've been at this job for the past year, my last job was selling furniture in a department store, and work dried up there, too.

I've never had a full time job in my life, and I'm 31.

I plant fuckin trees because desk jobs fuckin blow

remote software developer. 40 hours a week

some side projects, but I don't consider them to be work.

I sit around on a laptop in bars/coffee shops/my home and write code.

fun, but hard. from being a pure beginner to being familiar with the fundamentals of the language (especially its written form) it starts really hard, but gets exponentially easier over time. there comes a point where it's a simple matter of learning new characters, compounds and words because once you get the grammar it's actually a really straightforward and simple language that doesn't have tenses and is a subject-oriented language.

if you like a challenge or in general like the language or the things you will be able to enjoy more with it (mainland china, taiwan, singapore and their culture, music, cinema, art, etc.).

Lawyer, full-time

(To the other law student in this thread—lmao at trying to "apply" common/Anglo law to Marxism.)

Paper Factory. Mostly odd jobs in it or dicking around reading theory. 40 hours. 16k a year or something.

NEET due to mental problems. On top of that I'm disgusted by the idea of propping up capitalism.

60-ish

I'm a full-time student, but I also work about 15-20 hours a week at a call centre doing market research.

I've been doing fucking temp work for a year and a half, my next assignment starts tomorrow at a plastic molding plant

I run a small business (consisting solely of me). Work about 30-40 hours a week.

Thinking of reorganizing into a cooperative once I get big enough to actually hire people.

Not saying you should work but there are actually plenty of jobs which do not directly prop up capitalism. Also if you actually buy anything ever you are also propping up capitalism. In other words you can't fully escape the system.

HVAC technician
95% percent of my work is exchanging and replacing parts that could last forever but due to planned obsolescence only last a couple of years. This upsets me

I work in retail for attire. Probably 30-40 hours, though a lot of that is spent on my phone shitposting here…sometimes. Gonna be going back to school fulltime soon though.

I'm a student who is looking for work

University student, majoring in public administrative sciences( with future specialization in tax administration).

I use a phone line but the company also uses an online platform to do it too. I'm an interpreter and not a translator. If you live in a first-world country, make you sure look for a good company.

Same here fam. People who think disability is a vacation should be thankful that they will have lived before they die.
