What is your occupation

I'm currently unemployed, 30 years old, and living in my parents basement (but I have my wife with me so it's ok, not depressing or anything). Not my favorite place to be but that's where I'm stuck right now...

I have a Bachelor's, but it's in Communications Studies, nothing to write home about. I'm just a pretty ordinary everyday dude.

It seems to me that we are all ordinary everyday people, that's what I'm enjoying the most about this thread

For almost a decade, I was a warehouse manager/forklift operator for a feed store. Hay bales and fencing supply, all things farm and country.

I also spent a few years as a forest fire fighter. Hiking way into the Olympic mountains and cutting down undergrowth and doing controlled burns and stuff.

Edit to say: my wife works for a Christian non-profit. Making junk type mail for feeding children and whatnot.

I started working at 15 in my school's work program at an auto parts store

I get paid to talk sh!t over instrumentals, aka I'm a rapper. Doesn't sound as cool on paper, but I haven't had to work a real job in 11 years so I'll take it.

I'm sorry to hear that

If you're getting paid as a musical artist, then that qualifies as a job, it doesn't matter if you are playing a violin in the Boston philharmonic or rapping, if you are getting paid for it then you are a professional musician.

No need to be sorry it was self inflicted . No ones fault but my own .

I'm an Ironworker. Steel erection and welding reinforcement. Doing it since high school, but if I could go back I'd go into software and systems design with emphasis on social design and intelligence research.

I'm a software developer for a media company.

I've been writing test scripts in Ruby for quite some time now. I did a lot of Java web development before that, really like test automation, though.

In my spare time I've been learning game programming. I want to make mobile games for fun, I released my first mobile game in 2015, and I have been working on it's sequel. Time is a factor, though (kids, wife, house, etc).
