I'm doing a bunch of job searching today, and it made me curious as to what jobs everyone on here has.
Plus y'know, procrastination P:

I currently have a minimum wage job at a bar/ cinema - but I really hate doing shift work and having no structure to my week, so I'm looking for something better. Plus, if I could get paid more than minimum wage, that'd be nice xP
Plus I'm constantly working on my art skills/ portfolio and would love to start my career in the animation or games industry - so I keep applying to those jobs too, but I think it's still gonna be a while till I can get anywhere with that.

What job do you do?
What do you like/ dislike about it?
Dream job?
Are you job searching too?

Oh, also, if anyone remembers me from when I was last on (like a year ago > .<;; ) - Hi, I'm back!

Yeah, I actually quite like working at my place, the staff are all great and the work is fairly varied, so it doesn't get dull - it's just the hours and lack of money xP

How long till you graduate? c:

I don't have a job because my parents want me to focus in school... but it's summer vacation and I'm high-key bored lol
I love drawing as well, but I don't think I would want to have a career in that area haha

Also, welcome back! c:

Haha, enjoy it while you can - having to work the majority of the year gets old very fast, although the independence it allows is nice c:

And thank you! c:

Oooh, that does sound like quite an interesting job c:

I'm quite a fan of blackjack myself - do you have to watch out for people trying to cheat/ card count?
Do you get any perks from working in a casino?

I get discounted soft drinks and food in my bar and get to watch films for free whenever I want - so even though I am getting a bit sick of my current job, I still admit the perks are pretty good c:

And do you do creative writing or is it more journalistic/ non-fiction?
I've never had any formal education in creative writing, but I do enjoy it, and am currently trying to write a fantasy novel (albeit very casually - not even half way through the first chapter yet xP )

Ah, that's a shame - although I guess it's good that they're not encouraging staff to gamble xP

What kind of story do you have in mind? c:
Mine's a high-fantasy deally with elves and dwarves and the like - I kind of feel like it's super cliche in a lot of ways, but it's a story I've had in my head since I was a young teenager, and an illustrator friend of mine wanted a fun casual project to work on, so I decided to finally try and focus on getting it done - really not expecting it to go anywhere tbh though, but hey, at least its fun, and it's got me writing consistantly again c:

Yeah, university is fun, but it can be very draining, I've not been drawing nearly so much since I graduated - and I haven't animated anything since submitting my final film two years ago >.<;;
It so annoying - it's nice having a ton of creative outlets (I also like modelling and creating needle-felt sculptures, and have a craft fair that I'm doing a workshop for at the end of this month), but I find that I never have enough time to properly focus on anything, and a lot of my projects end up staying half-finished for months at a time, or just getting abandoned..

I wonder if I should try to focus on just one creative practice... but then I know I'd miss the others and constantly wonder if I'd made the right chouice... grrr.. xP

I work in a warehouse, packing and loading products on tables. I hate how there is work for me one day, and then I am out of work for a year.

That is why I am trying to work elsewhere. I am waiting for an e-mail for the information to arrive.
