The reason I started this thread is because I’m always fascinated by what people do. I went with a really “familiar” path towards a job. High school->college->teaching.
Like how does one become a head of placing advertisements? Like we all know all know someone does it (maybe we just take it for granted).
Fascinating.
I’m an IT team lead, was a solution architect specialised in Unix systems but now find myself with Microsoft and cloud consultants to manage! I use a 10.5 iPad all day every day much to the consternation of our internal IT support😆
Thanks, it’s quite a stressy job, with lots of moving parts. Someone has to do it, haha.
I studied old german (medieval) literature and language, not many jobs out there with that. So I worked myself up in my student job:)
Today my job was vet tech (vaccinating sheep) and water girl (filling water tanks for livestock) Later it’s going to be beer and or wine drinker and cook 
Oogie, it just boggles my mind!
I’m a retired primary bilingual (Spanish) teacher who typically taught third grade in the inner city and loved every minute of it (or just about). I taught terrific little eight year olds who were hard workers, eager and efficient helpers but who still believed in Santa Claus. They possessed a marvelous sense of wonder. I stressed English as that’s the language they will need the most.
Lol
Just saw this. You’re right, there’s an axis stuck to my nose.

PhD Candidate in Ancient Philosophy. Former-English teacher. Former professional vagabond: first as a buddhist devout (theravada), then as a mountain climber/guide. Former W+EMT (Wilderness Emergency Medical Technician): >6yrs ago I had just started working for a company teaching Wilderness First Response when my health got compromised due to some flu-like virus. I got back to Philosophy and it suits me well now seeing that I cannot exert myself physically anymore.
That’s pretty hardcore, and what a reminder how resilient we can be, and at the same time how fragile we are. I’m sure there are a lot of philosophical things to explore that lol.
One has to tune the instruments available and make the best out of it
