What's your job?

Asking so I can get an idea of what is out there. Personally I'm looking for something that respects the earth and people. I currently stock stores for a large grocery chain. I'd like to work for a local brewery though in the future. I feel bad stocking a store with food that doesn't respect the body or earth.
Anyways what do you do for a living? What would you like to do if you could?

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Currently doing nothing. two months from now I'm starting on a mathematics course of 4.5 months and then start a B.Sc on computer science.
If i could.. I'd be a vet. but here 90% of the vets are working in food transferring, checking temps and such. shit.
maybe after I'll be rich i could volunteer regularly at some animal shelter.

I used to be a Sous Chef for almost a decade, as well as a Chef at a small spot for a few years. After going to school for plumbing I havent been able to get on with a journeyman so at the moment I work in a hardware store... I really hate it, I want to get my hours in, or I'm just going to go back to culinary. Atleast I can hit the ground running with that work. I kinda miss menu planning and running a kitchen.

I do treework
There are companies in the industry that call it "tree preservation" and do their best to suggest pruning as opposed to removals and reinforce good technique so as to prolong the life of trees in the urban environment for as long as possible
Then there are those that don't look at the profession in the same light, try to push homeowners to pay more for removals and are just looking for money, not worrying so much about the health of trees and utilize incorrect pruning technique
I'm not siding with either philosophy, as I work and have worked for companies at both ends of the spectrum, though treework is unique in that my job requires me to have a biological, physiological, scientific, etc understanding of trees and shrubs, and I really enjoy the furthering of my knowledge of my profession

Im a locksmith for a legit company now but i found a company on craigslist that basically hired anyone, trained you for a week, and sent you out. After my first month i was at 2k a week scammimg people which was cool, but i got tired of the hours and found a non-scammy place to work for, making like $600 a week after taxes for 35 hrs or so.
Theyre hiring locksmith scammers all over the country amd it pays well so theres that.
Im also getting my real estate brokers license

same. Also fucked.
I am a geospatial analyst and the lead in operations support for location intelligence at a fortune 100 company that does commercial insurance.
I hate my job. they're kinda cheap bastards that prefer to off shore things and only brought my job back onshore because Indians apparently don't know all that much about American business locations. Of course they're also paying me as little as they can get away with. Still making almost twice as much as my previous job and have good benefits so I can at least consider it a good step up on the ladder of bureaucratic life.

I don't know. I just think that titles are getting ridiculous nowadays.
I worked in a cubicle before. Kinda liked it. I'm a cat. I like enclosed spaces with a single entrance I can monitor at all times

I know someone who's doing legit locksmithing and he makes pretty good loot, I also know someone who went from wasted 24/7 at phish shows to getting her real estate license and went to making 6 figures a year in 2 years.
I right now am doing so nothing. I need to find some energy or I'm gonna get evicted broke and it's gonna be a bitch.

I'm a dog. I don't like boxes unless I'm trying to hide and/or sleep.
My actual title is Field Operations Support Specialist (Geospatial) and seeing as most people ignore the () no one really knows wtf my actual job is. I also do troubleshooting and system testing and work distribution management.
Titles here are ridiculous because they make no sense. Most underwriters see "field operations support" and think "oh yes this is my personal bitch." the hierarchy here sucks.
