Yea working at a factory definatly does suck. And you are right on the money about the criminal record thing. That isn't necessarily a reason to look down on people though.

Currently, I'm doing a data entry position for a clothing company and it's great. It does get repetitive but I mainly work with about 5 people during the day and they allow us to listen to music while we type. One position I did love though was working third shift for a 24 hr locksmith company.

I'm a teacher (well, high school librarian). NOT recommended.

I'm starting to do a landscaping job for a small company. I like it so far, pays really good. The other workers are amusing. One called in sick one day saying giant spiders were chasing him so he wouldn't be able to work today :P he was definitely on something. I don't have to talk to the other workers much so i get left alone working which is nice.

That is kind of impressive that you have survived working in a setting like that.

I was the manager of a manufacturing plant. Many aspects of AvPD directly conflict with this position.

That being said I am persuing going back to it. I guess I can't get enough pain. :?

I've been working as a janitor for 17 years now. I guess the reason I've stayed is because it helps keep me from gaining weight and I don't have to interact with too many people. Plus the hours are really good and I dont have to work weekends.

For the past year and a half Ive been studying to become a Police Officer. I don't know if Im going to make it but I figure I could always become an armed security guard if it doesn't.

My dream job has always been to be a pilot. I think its a combination of being free from the world and not having to talk to many people. Im going to fly one way or another :wink:
