What does /b/ do for a living?

Me first, train conductor. Both commercial trains and freight trains. Prefer hauling people instead of goods though, better lines and less stress.
Pay is more than ok, pretty comfortable work hours and you get to see the country a lot.

So what do you do?

>>738836141
>Mind telling the stories of yours?
Not much to tell but ok.

First one was about 2 years after I got the job after being a greenhorn. Was thundering through a long left bend with cliffs on the right side.
A man in his 40s walk out on the tracks, stops and stands there waiting. I blew the horn, hit the brakes but there was nothing I could do.

Second time was in August last year, beautiful summer day and everything. Was rolling through a small town that was pretty much picture perfect.
Then a woman jumped the tracks and the thud ruined my day.

US Airman, RAWS (Radar, Airfield, and Weather Systems)

I ensure that just about anything electronic on the airfield is working. This ranges from air traffic radars and landing systems to the freaking printer in the tower. My focus right now is on radars, and I even help maintain one of the national weather service's weather radars.

All in all, pretty nifty job. Gets pretty boring when nothing is breaking though. Preventative maintenance is piss easy (literally read the instructions and have a basic understanding of the systems and electronics). But hey, it pays 80k per year starting on the outside so if I need to fall back on something, there it is.

Sounds to me like they have their shit perfectly together seeing as a) the chances of that guy actually needing a bullet-proof vest in a hospital setting is something like 1 in 5 million and b) they don't want to get sued when the dumbass cuffs someone seeing as he's not LE it would be something along the lines of kidnapping.

In short guy's the same level as some rando Wal-Mart loss prevention guy looking for shoplifters he's nowhere near being a cop and the hospital doesn't want to risk giving cuffs to a dumbass. It's not a cost analysis thing at all.
Worked as P.A. in numerous hospitals for my first 4 years.

I'm not baiting at all. If you weren't a dumbass you'd know hospitals are run by board of directors meaning they have investors who are looking to make a profit on their investments every 365 which means they're not going to spring for unnecessary equipment/gear.

Again hospital security is basically glorified loss prevention and don't have anywhere near the authority as actually LE. You also don't have to carry a person off in a car trunk to get a kidnapping charge it's literally holding them against their will in a particular spot when you don't have the authority to do so. This is why you often see an overlap where actual law enforcement is present at hospitals with "security guys" because they're the only ones allowed by law to the handcuffing, etc.

At best the guy could make a citizen's arrest but more than likely he'd just phone the actual cop sitting outside the hospital in a cruiser.

As far as the vests, you're dealing with (99.99999%) unarmed individuals who are just a bit frustrated in the moment so it's really a waste of money in the BoD's eyes. Even with something like "oh no a broken bottle" a vest isn't even going to stop the usual injuries that one incurs from an encounter like this unless they make vests for your arms. Nearly all cutting injuries are defensive in nature meaning it's going to be along the back of the wrists/forearms/biceps also called "defensive wounds."

This fucking retard wants to feel like he has a badass job or something so he can show off his handcuffs and vest to his mom or something when the reality is most of the time he's just giving directions through the hospital to some geriatric widow who's lost. That's the reality of the situation.

What the fuck even is a "Group" unit? I can only assume you mean a Support unit or you were recycled at some point and put into some special autist unit for Gomers. If you can't even properly describe your unit there shouldn't be any surprise that you're both a paper-pusher and a private. You don't just get randomly promoted you actually have to show knowledge of and ability to lead others.

You can also volunteer at any time to join other units where you can jump out of planes all day every day on missions you just have to have 2 pieces of paper signed. Anyone in the service knows this especially in a combat unit so you blaming your loss on the Army instead of your own dumbass decisions doesn't hold water.

Alright sunshine. A group unit means one of the SF units. Has nothing to do with being recycled you moron, they need MOS's to fill support roles. Second of all if you knew anything about the system you would know your work is based on what MOS you choose, not whether you are good or bad, nice try though. Actually no, promotions are based on time, popularity, points, and passing a board. Many privates know more than their higher ups.
Also, no you can't just volunteer to jump from planes at any time, airborne school costs your unit money and they wont send you unless they have good reason. I got mine because I contracted with it. keep on tryin kiddo

>>738839659
Yes actually but there is still no electrical trucks good enough to last long stretches.
And far, very far from all truck stops have a charging station.
I mean I drive 3-4 days straight sometimes, re-fueling takes a few minutes. Can you imagine the time it would take to recharge the batteries necessary to power a heavy hauler across countries?
But short distance, within cities kind of trucks is already available with electrical engines.

2. A vest is a bare minimum purchase for almost any LE job in north america

3. Handcuffs are perfectly legal in the area I work, in fact other private security outfits with similiar pay scales in my city have all the required equipment and the necessary training to use force IF NEEDED.

First off, what you're describing is a battalion or brigade nowhere ever, even among SF, is it called a "group unit" and your lack of basic garrison knowledge is probably why you're still a private.

Second, no shit your work is based on your MOS, your promotions however are not. In fact you can hold multiple MOS's at a time and a lot of people DO get a second or third MOS to speed up promotion. You're clearly too fucking stupid to do that.

You wreak of failure and pussification epecially with your "waahh popularity points" bullshit. Again it takes 2 signed papers to transfer to a different unit and fill a slot higher than a private you just haven't done it or want to stay close to mommy and daddy and not move your worthless ass somewhere that could hold a promotion for you. Again that's your own fault for making shitty decisions.

Actually, yes you can "just volunteer" to go to things like jump school, air assault, sapper school when the opportunity presents itself. Even fucking reservists from SUPPORT units have come through Ft. Bragg for school because it gives you more promotion points and makes their home unit look better. It also gives the Army more individuals who are properly cross-trained should they need a heavy amounts (a la "surge" of 2007).

You're either some national guard nitwit or 14 to not know basic shit like this and you're not part of any SF group for certain not even attached to one. I can't believe you're even still in the service pushing papers as clueless as you are. You should take your private pay and count it as a blessing that they haven't booted your ass yet for being dumb as a goddamn rock. No one's going to handhold you to promotion it's called taking personal responsibility. Then again it's probably easier for you to bitch and whine about your sandy vagina that for you to step up to the plate and do what you have to do.

Have fun maintaining that E-3 slot, loser.

No need for any degree.

Cons:

Hard physically
Always under pressure
Co-workers barely speak English
You make one mistake and you're out
You need to stay overtime without being paid
Pay rises by 0.25 every two years
Treated like an animal

i work at Dicks Sporting Goods unloading trucks and basic janitorial work on non-truck days

i work at an arcade handling the prize wheel.
>>
>>738842407
Pretty much yes. You call it in, report the stop so other trains doesn't hit you and then you gotta inspect the situation.. Which is pretty much always horrible.
>>
>>738835536
so trains now have usb charging ports?

I own and operate luxury boutique drug and alcohol rehabilitation "resorts". Essentially 6-10 beds per location and we charge base $120k/month not including detox and/or daily testing services. I truly do think the price is worth it because we have 7 staff to every one patient. Over the top luxury on both coasts. Thinking about expanding into SE Asia because of the cost savings. Downside is people overdosing and junkies are kind of annoying. But we actually try to help them unlike most rehab facilities. Pretty good success rate and I take home about $3-4mil a year all said and done

Jesus you should not be obliged to see the mess. There should be a special quad for these, with chopper etc. Train suicide is frequent enough they should already have organized something like that.

It's a small business,brewed beer and ale. Also have an attached pub, got my license last year so that's going well. Hopefully I can expand in a few years.

Sort and prepare orders for people who order groceries online in Australia. Relatively easy but pretty mind numbing so long shifts just get annoying. 25$ an hour though, so I can't complain, though 25$ an hour isn't much in AUD compared to the US.

>>738843315
Well there is a tiny chance the person could be alive so there is really no other option.
But we get a leave from work with full pay if needed and free meetings with a psychologist etc. But you simply gotta live with it. I can't imagine the people who has to clean it up. Gives me the shivers.

Forklift driver.

It's pretty chill job with good night shift pay. I've honestly put on weight since starting.

I basically cruise around a factory with a slippery floor and eurobeat playing in my head.

I fix old school military equipment for aircraft for a certain air force.

Its stupid how much money sinks all that equipment are, some stuff is over 50 years old and we still fix it. Its so old that u can't even call it electronics.

Also work with electro optical systems from this decade, which is pretty nice. Get to meet some interesting people in different fields in the military.

Decent pay though, 65k yearly with hours that you basically decide yourself as long as you get the job done.

It's not looking good.

Trust me, plenty of crybabies at space-X as well. You never escape it, best way to deal with it is become a "I don't care about your shit, I'm here to make you look bad at your job and tell you shut the fuck up" type person.

Tears mean nothing when you trump someone's position by not being an entitled fuck nugget.

The worst part is yours.
They are used to it, it's their job. It's just dead meat to them. I was talking with a funeral guy the other day. They just feel nothing. When it's possible they even cut the fingers to get the golden rings before cremation he told me, smiling.

Me too - but I do . . . ermm safety and service related work for customers that operate warehouses.
Pay is about 15% above national-average [which is not good] , but I get bonuses after big jobs - I can get $2000 - $3000 extra some quarterly cycles ; plus company car [the car is the best bit ; AWD Turbo SUV - it was my choice - take it on the beach , try not to get bogged!]

Sweden? What is the pay and how did you get the job?
>>
>>738835536

I don't mean to be disrespectful. But why is a conductor still necessary? Once again, not trying to be a dick, but it seems like it ought to be a job a computer could do.
>>
Greenkeeper.
Pay is decent, you can afford a living as long as you're not the only one bringing home the bacon. There's something very soothing and peaceful, almost cathartic, about cutting grass. It gives me loads of hours to listen to audiobooks and podcasts.
Downside: shitty weather non stop. If it's raining, it will get cold and wet and get sprayed by shit and mud. If it's hot and sunny, you get sunburned and dust and dry cuttings in your nose and eyes. Also, the constant rumble of 120db and the vibrations of the mowers can really hurt you in the long run. Hello tinnitus!
>>
>>738847757
Would you seriously want to put your life in the hands of a computer while riding on a train?
>>
>>738848018

I would have no problem with it. You're on a train track. It isn't like the computer could misjudge the light and make a left turn and get smacked by oncoming traffic. Shit only goes one way and you're the only train on the road at once.

Plus computer driven trains can all coordinate wirelessly.

But i don't want to argue that trains shouldn't have conductors. I am just asking why.

Is the answer just - they could be driverless already, but people and insurance companies just like having them anyway?
>>
Trucker.
With my current job I usually head Northeast of Texas then head back.

Machinist. It wasn't my dream job. In fact it was the last thing I ever wanted to do. My dad was a machinist, and pretty much every male relative on that side of the family were/are. That said, I actually enjoy it, and find it very rewarding.
