What are the most /lit/ professions? Bonus points for less

>>9932107
Trucker, Writer, designing pringles machines, one of those people that goes around collect sounds for sound effects, video game alpha tester, football mascot, apple

Working any kind of shitty jobs. Waiter, lumberjack, mechanic, etc. In the past, writers worked these shitty jobs to scrape by while they wrote their masterpieces. Nowadays, they can get a professor position or teach writing. A lot of modern writers lack the kind of human experience gained through these low class jobs, and their art suffers as a result. Melville never would've written Moby Dick if he had been a English professor or a writing lab instructor.

>one experience is more "real" than another
LMAO is this what you retards who can't even get into state schools tell yourselves to cope? I've been a waiter before. It's a shit job. I'm glad I grew up and moved on to bigger and better things.

I can understand how the burnout autodidacts who frequent this board would love to imagine their low skill low pay """"profession"""" has some deeper meaning to it though.

You actually didn't understand what the anon posted. Study the lives of authors. Read Papa's A Moveable Feast. Most of the greats did menial work and used escapism from their mundane lives to produce works of substance. You get your Proust every once in a while who came from the upper crust (and we're all the better for it), but for every Marcel there are so many bus drivers, cabbies, bankers, dock workers, waiters etc. who became noted writers

Didn't you see the movie Paterson?

>using movies to support your claim on a literature board
haha

hemmmmmmingway is garbage.and moveable feast is his worst book. Also you talk like afag and your shit's retarded.

No, his worst book was The Torrents of Spring

I used a film because you sound like an underage b& who needed something in color and made within the last two years that you can sit through in an hour and forty minutes to understand

You're kind of annoying. Busting some guys arse with your condescension even though he actually waited tables. In a discussion about 'real experiences' it seems strangely naive and unattuned to recommend anon watch some flavour of the week Jarmusch movie to "get it".

Also I think your approximation is wrong. Heaps of writers have been aristocratic, or part of the upper classes, certainly not in some 1:200 ratio or whatever like you imply.
I think you're underage and still in school, or tertiary education (yikes!)
