Default What do you do?

Obviously this one is a problem to search for so I apologize if there is already a thread on this (there really should be considering there is a thread for almost anything by now), I just couldn't find it.

Anyway, could be interesting to see what folks here are up to in "real life".

I'm whachamightcall a "legal advisor" for a construction company in the oil and gas sector, so I've been sent around the world somewhat in the last 6-7 years (hence Malaysia currently). Finished law school in Croatia but didn't pass the bar exam so I'm not a lawyer (and have no desire to be).

And you kind people?

I work at Burger King and try to maintain my individuality while doing so and testing the limits of what my bosses will allow while testing my limits of what I'll allow my bosses to allow. All of that is yes integral to my job because otherwise I'd end up killing myself.

Marketing/PR, legal compliance, and in-house IT support for a mortgage company plus the occasional drug transaction.

Bruh we understand white rappers. They're not smart people. We could totally take them for everything their mothers own. PM me.

I don't wanna knock down working at Burger king, but as it seems you really dislike working there, do you plan to move on to other things, and if yes, to what? Do you have a college degree? You're american right?

I finished college at 26, I like to blame musicbanter for at least a part of that...so I dig...<3

Edit: no wait, you go to school because you like to, I just did it because I was postponing real life and found other, more interesting things to do than study. Like arguing over the internet. :/

lol My views about my life are depressing and fatalistic. I'm waiting till I can't stand it anymore I suppose, and I don't mean that in an onwards and upwards kinda way.

Company had 36 employees in 2014. Then got shafted and since, me, the owner, and his wife have been soldiering along. I do the jobs of 8 people. Work volume is way down so I can manage it. The learning curve was a bitch at first though!

- document control
- quality control
- operations (purchase orders, sales orders, bills, invoices, etc.)
- design / drafting
- customer service
- factory liaison
- bad cop (to the wife's good cop)
- UL interface for our commercial customers
