someone's got to look after the kids during the day after school.
It is true tho people look down on others for some jobs but fact is someone has to do it a janitor is just as important as a doctor in my eyes.
So after around a decade in medical school/internship/training, a doctor who (hur) spends many of their days saving people's lives is just as important as someone who needed very little experience/couldn't be bothered to work harder (I know people that couldn't be bothered and became Janitors, so don't worry, I'm not stereotyping there. :p ) and clears the bins for the main reason that no-one else wants to?
Mnyeh. -_-
Well besides the fact that not everyone has the time nor the money to be able to put forth to become a doctor, fact is it is the janitors who keep the hospitals in clean condition so that the hospital doesn't become so infested with germs and diseases that it is actually more dangerous to go to a hospital when sick than to stay home.

In my opinion almost every job is equally important in the grand scheme of things everything has it's place and if it had so little importance to people there wouldn't be a demand. Sure some are more obviously important but others have there place in the gears that are our society. For example the Garbage men and women keep our streets clean from disease and trash without them we would be wading in waste high trash to get anywhere. The mechanics who fix our cars make sure people like say those doctors from earlier get to there jobs so they can even help cure people in the first place.

Mind you there are a few jobs that are inherently less important like door to door salesman or telemarketers but even they have there place they help companies who don't have the funding or the popularity to get there products in stores get there product out to the public so they can slowly change there perception and perhaps expand.

People should have more pride in there work and take realize that everyone has a role to play and that when try and work hard at there job it makes a difference in the large scheme of things.
Well said.

I'm an environment artist a game studio. It's sort of a generalist artist job, and I model assets like architecture, props, basically things that aren't characters. I love my career and actually getting to make a living doing art, even if it means I work long hours and don't usually have time to actually play games. Though beer at work and an hour to play video games is enough for me, lol.

Well I'm a student, so I guess my government bursaries are mostly what funds my hobby. My part time job as a sales clerk pays for the rest. In about 3 years though I should be a history teacher so that will pretty much take care of everything.

I'm 24 and work as a therapeutic assistant in a behavioral health clinic. I'm gonna be in Physician's Assistant school pretty soon though. I was planning on going to med school, but then I met a bunch of PA students and actual PAs. And they get to make good money, help people, work in a medical field, and still have a life. Plus, the school period is much shorter. So I wasted six months studying for the MCAT, but oh well. Such is life.

I deliver pizzas for Pizza Hut. However, not only do I play video games, but I also play Magic.

I need a better job. :/

I'm a newspaper photographer. I drive around and take photos, and while at times it can be pretty emotionally draining and confronting, there are plenty of worse jobs out there.

In 'work' speak:
I'm a full time 'General Operative' at an Amazon 'Fulfillment Centre'. I specialise in 'penultimate item readiness' for customers and 'fulfilling pre-shipping requirements'.

In English:
I'm a full time labourer at an Amazon warehouse. I mainly pack items and sort packed items onto shipping pallets and yorks.

I think my official title is "coordinator". I work for a non-destructive testing company.
We test stuff to make sure stuff like oil pipes, rollercoasters, and tanks don't fall apart or explode when put to their intended use. I'm in charge of working out how much to charge clients for our services.

Hate my job. Looking to quit and go back to school pretty much ASAP.

I'm 25. I don't necessarily think of myself as an adult or anything else in "age terms" but I guess I am.

I am a lawyer. I act for banks who lend large sums of money to finance real estate projects. Oh and I am in Canada so business is still fine.

This thread is super depressing. Many of you need to stop posting here, stop playing games, and start working harder.

I know that sounds harsh, but it's true.
