What's the best kind of career to have in life? Everybody, let's talk about the pros and cons of the jobs you've worked or know of so we can figure something out
Office work causes health problems from the sitting, but has good pay and requires some thinking. But Physical labour makes you strong and can keep you healthy, although you might end up with a bad back doing some jobs. Customer service work is easy and stupid, but I guess you lose social anxiety doing it. Practically every field has it's merits and detractors
What's the best kind of job? How is yours?

Well, working as a pharmacist is a pretty comfy ideal. Now it's full business mode, but if you can get a strong handle on this, life is easy.
You'll have time to pursue your hobbies

I bet. But do you sit around all day? Are the hours long? How difficult was it learning the material in university?

My dream job is to be a self employed programmer/web dev so I can be any where at any time and work. Wether its at home or at a library wouldn't matter. As long as I have internet access somewhere I can make money.
Currently im unemployed but working on getting my CDL to be a truck driver since thats the only thing that has a relatively good job market these days.

what about smoke inhalation and dying in a fire though.
Also, I've heard people on volunteer firefighting crews (related) are retards. What kind of education do you need?
>>36497262
Fires aren't really as common as you may think. Plus, if you die in a fire you'll be seen as a hero (don't robots want to die anyway?).
You only really need a high school diploma and pass the physical and written tests to get in the door, but if you're a paramedic beforehand or have an associate's degree in fire science or something related can help you and never hurt. It's a little different everywhere so I suggest doing some research.
