FedEx Ground/Home Delivery Driver. Hate it to the core. Get to work at 6am, some times I get home at 2, some times 9. Lots of stress, lots of bull shit, lots of stupid people who think they are in the greatest career field of all time (because for them, they are). Low pay, long hours and lots of expectations...sounds like work
I do video work on the side, mainly automotive, some other stuff. Sad Panda Productions on Vimeo <--- shameless plug I'll get paid one of these days. Hopefully going to school to get my BSN (science and nursing). Good money there. |

I Selected YES! Cause I really do enjoy my career, and I really did'nt get to choose this career for my self, it sort'of chose me, thats the way it goes in the field I work in.
When I started working in this field, I hated it, it was not for me and I planned on leaving that place as soon as I could, so I thought.. but the money played a different tune and I danced to the paychecks I was not used to getting, I was like 19 at the time and ohh boy those checks were amaizing at that time, and they still are 10 years later, and plenty of promotions later. There is only one part of it thats sucks, but it depends on individual perspective, and thats Night hours, never get to see the sun for more than 3 hours a day, and I always miss the car meets and stuff.. For me, I am NOT a morning person, Never have, and probably never will be, so it works out perfectly for me, except of course when everybody is up and about, I'm out for the count, and when everybody is going, I'm already coming.. Trucking/Dock/sales etc etc.. real night life.. Once youre in, there is no coming out.. Lol. |

I LOVE MY JOB. I'm a local truck driver I do whatever I want I have no boss next to me breathing on looking at my every move as long as I get to my appointments on time everything is good. But I do have to say this you absolutely have to love driving this is not for the weak. truck driving and traffic is a whole different animal compared to driving your car in traffic. you pretty much have to go through 10 or more gears before you get to 55mph

If I could do it over again, I would have gone into a field I *LOVED*. Pay & security would NOT have factored into my choice. NO job is totally secure, and no paycheck amount is ever guaranteed. Gotta love what you do... then nothing else matters. For now I am in a living HELL.

I picked the first one. I plan on retiring from the military. Retire at 40 sounds good for me. Plus, my job is "how to defeat the enemy" and really do it. I think its fun. Nice adrenaline rush too.

Love my job. Just graduated and am now am a entry level software developer. Good pay, love the problem solving and working with a small team. Layed back hours, can be stressful meeting deadlines/starring at a computer all day. Over all I cant complain....

I enjoy my job, but like any other career it has its ups and downs. But, I can say that if I hadn't joined [the military] I probably would've never been fortunate enough to travel and see as much of the world as I have and meet the people I've met.

started off working security at 18 and have 5 years of experience now and still not a fuckin manager or a supervisor. this is not my career, but as of now have no other choice. i luv working on cars and thats what i want to do, but no one is even hiring for tire service. fuckin lame! |
