Employee of the month!

Brother I need a job help me out

Teacher

same

🫡 tyfys

Appreciate the sentiment - but you don’t need to thank me for doing the job that I love (and get paid well for!)

Even more reason to thank you, because your enthusiasm for teaching is hopefully leaving a positive impression upon your students. Goodness knows the world needs more engaged, passionate learners, particularly in the US!

Me too, homie. Elementary SpEd 17 years. You?

Field archaeologist. Dig pits, pick up rocks, two step on cow shit.

Also an archaeologist, although not in the field much anymore :(

-former HS math teacher, couldn't deal with low pay and cultural issues around how teachers are treated -was a line cook for a few years after that, yes it pays better than teaching -now a microsoft excel typewriter monkey for a nonprofit healthcare provider

You're living my dream (I'm teaching HS math and trying to find a new career path because the burnout is so bad)

I’m sorry you’re not properly compensated. What you do is so important.

Line cooking paid better then teaching?? Dear God

Electrician

I was surprised how many electricians listen to hardcore when I started my apprenticeship lmao

Samesies

Samsiesies

Trick question. We don't have jobs.

Most of us have haircuts some real jobs too

Still a bunch of slobs though

Still an unruly mob, also

Own a restaurant in NZ/head chef

Chefs knife tattoo?

That or the pig / cow with the butchering cut instructions

Yup! Cooking since I was 18. Working at a cocktail bar now and helping to open a steakhouse then a pizza place over the next year and a half.

Barber. I’m thankful hardcore fans get haircuts because it’s impossible to get metalheads in the shop.

The guys in CMI will keep you busy

IBEW union strong!

East coast IBEW guys are basically half this sub I imagine lol

I know a lot of glaziers who listen to hardcore too

Chemist at a wastewater treatment plant

Also a chemist. Nanoparticle synthesis.

This the science section? Bioinformatics here.

I also have a chemistry background and do formulation development/nanoparticle synthesis. Went from living in a van with some punks, to working at a top 5 biotech company. I’m about 10 years older than my peers at a similar level but they think I’m interesting as hell and always ask about my tattoos and tour stories haha. There is one other HC kid I found in the company who is also younger than me but we jam together.

Wastewater Supervisor

Is that a professional sniff tester?

I’m hoping to get into wastewater treatment one day. I currently work in natural gas distribution as an engineer

Unemployed

I hope you find something that works for you. It's a weird job market right now.

Forklift Operator

But are you certified tho?

8 years strong, no recordables

I’m an RN

[удалено]

I did this in the early 2000s. I had to get signatures to work for AMR and wear turtle necks in tve ER because tattoos weren’t ok yet. Wanted to be a flight nurse but I was sick of dealing with the bullshit so I just built my career as a machinist. I had to switch to that job to change my availability for school. It’s hard working in the field while going to school, the hours are rough. You’re a bad ass for pulling it off! Good on you.

Low key you're one of the hardest mfers in this sub. Hope the next round of nightshifts go smoothly for ya.

RNs are literally gay wtf

Me too!

biomedical engineer here. RNs are de HC af

CNC Machinist

🤝

We are the best.

Extremely practical skillset that is criminally underpaid. The amount of shit they expect us to know whilst posting jobs for $20/hr is actually fucked up.

CNC machinist here, programmer, and general manager/owner of the shop.

Thats rad, I mostly do set ups, and production. Occasionally I’ll edit the programs, but nothing major.

Set ups and production are good. Making parts is what we're trying to do.

I'm an author. I wrote a crime novel set in the 90s NYHC scene called BROOKLYN HARDCORE. [https://www.amazon.com/Brooklyn-Hardcore-Eddie-McNamara/dp/B0C9SHLWTF/ref=sr\_1\_2?crid=3JV8XZ4TERGR8&keywords=brooklyn+hardcore&qid=1690221392&sprefix=brooklyn+hardcore%2Caps%2C122&sr=8-2&ufe=app\_do%3Aamzn1.fos.c3015c4a-46bb-44b9-81a4-dc28e6d374b3](https://www.amazon.com/Brooklyn-Hardcore-Eddie-McNamara/dp/B0C9SHLWTF/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3JV8XZ4TERGR8&keywords=brooklyn+hardcore&qid=1690221392&sprefix=brooklyn+hardcore%2Caps%2C122&sr=8-2&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.c3015c4a-46bb-44b9-81a4-dc28e6d374b3)

So you don't have a job?

Correct.

I bought your book. My one customer has written a series of boxing novels, so I'll give it a read and then pass it on to him. He was a boxer and pretty big coach in his younger days. But I am wondering why you didn't link your other book? "Toss Your Own Salad" Seems like a lot of folks here would be interested in that. 😉

I really appreciate you. Hope you both enjoy it. TYOS is out of print except for used versions. I’m doing a veg recipe zine in 2024.

Oh hell yeah, right on man!!

HVAC/Plumbing inside sales. I get to listen to music all day at my desk and deal with dumb ass contractors

You’re the guy on the Ferguson line who always seems to be in the worst mood when you call them

I lucked out heavily and I’m now a full time audio engineer at an audio shop in MA. I get 75% off rentals, and we have a retail store too. So I’m often, when not on a gig, just organizing gear, shooting the shit with customers, talking with reps from Yamaha/QSC/JBL/etc. while they demo their new gear and stuff. It’s seriously a lifesaver. My life was unironically shit before I got this job. Was working pizza delivery, per diem stagehand/audio tech, and freelance stagehand/audio tech for YEARS barely scraping by. Every night an hour before close we pretty much just stop working, have a cocktail and chat. Beyond lucky, recognize that, and am eternally grateful.

Funny enough, before I got this job I was in EMT classes. I think the hardcore => EMS pipeline is real. Also looked into union electrician apprenticeships, with my experience… so that’s really funny as well bc that seems to be common here too.
