Really... What is a good job?
I have a "cool" job. Everyone thinks it's cool, and glamorous. I get paid well for what I do, but the job is very physical, demands attention to detail, and can be heavy on math and logistics. It is a thinking working man's job, and for me that's better than everything else I did before.
But is it a good job? I am not hungry, the bills are paid, we have some nice things. However, I work 60-70 hours a week - it kinda cramps my gaming style, dig? It also cramps my lifestyle - I live to work, not vice versa. I have goals, and don't plan on doing this forever, but it works for now.
So, for a middle-aged man in a catch-22, I have done ok. Had I made better choices in my 20s, I'd probably have a better story to tell.
How about you?
...
If I had no job, but still had money, I would make great things. Feanor would be jealous.

Far as I am concerned any job that pays the bills is good. I suppose some people are lucky enough to get a job doing something they love or end up in a situation that makes them happy, but I think for most people a job is just a job. Something we do because we have to. I certainly would never have gotten a job if I didn't need to do so to make money.

My job wouldn't be considered "cool" or "glamorous" but I'm a CNC machinist who doesn't have to kill himself, can pay his bills and is largely left alone. I know most people here with do-nothing degrees, the self-entitled, and supply-side economic sycophants would think I'm overpaid, but fuck them.

Im a pornstar I get paid to fuck. I will never work on a porn set again. The smells. You don't mind the stink when you're doing the fucking, I suppose. Being an electrician on a porn set isn't that bad comparatively - they couldn't pay me enough to work a camera in some instances of porn. That said, I'll leave the porn life to you Nat.

I learned this trade and am in a similar situation. Skilled labor is honestly where it's at. Our wages will continue to increase the rest of our lifetimes, because working for a living isn't cool anymore - yet people completely depend on the services we provide. I just don't want to die at work. I live enough there.

they couldn't pay me enough to work a camera in some instances of porn Right? Being a porn cameraman sounds like an awesome job when you're a horny teenager, but then you get a little more experience under your belt and the realities of the situation hit you. As for the topic at hand, I'm only working part time as I'm still actively in university. Fortunate enough to have an employer who understands and accommodates my goal (only take classes when I can afford to pay for them out of pocket), so the amount of hours I work varies wildly depending on the time of year. Right now it's not very many as I'm enrolled in some summer classes, but once I'm finished with those it'll be back on the work grind.

Bravo! Yeah, I'd rather take 5-6 years to get what's supposed to be a four-year degree if it means I can do it without drowning in debt for the next two decades. A friend of a friend did something similar, it took him something like 8 years to graduate from a trade school, but he did it with zero debt and what could be argued as two full-time years of work experience.

I work as an ILS instructor for adults with disabilities, my bills get paid and I even have extra to spare so it's a good job. While I occasionally love what I do there are times when a client thinks it's funny to pull a knife, or keeps a creepy shrine dedicated to me. There's very few bad days but when I get them they're awful. I have thought about starting my own ILS company, after all my boss has done well for himself, I'm just not sure I want that responsibility yet. Meetings at the North Los Angeles Regional center are unnerving enough as a simple peon. If I win lotto though, I'm gone.

My job is decent (though my wages were indentured servanthood level when I started).. but....
Security is anal as all hell and they have some sort of fetish for invading my privacy and making up wacky theories about what they find. It was weird at first, and now its just infuriating.

There are 2 sides to my job. Upside: I only have to work 4 days a week, the pay is good-ish and I can fuck about on the internet during work. Downside: I work in a dying industry.

Im a pornstar I get paid to fuck. Now there's something I never expected anyone to admit to, though given this is the BSN anything is possible. Also given that this is the BSN I can't take the statement seriously.
