I work for a start-up company which is basically involved in creating a database of journalists and Public Relations people from different companies.

>implying I don't have a £50,000 p/a job within 18 months of graduating with a combined film and english degree

Bachelor of journalism.
Working at IBM in UNIX support.

No "higher" education, barely graduated high school. I work at a University! Except I get no respect from the Stuffy Elitists, which is ok.

>>4510941
I'm on welfare.

Waitressing. Will be getting a new job soon, hopefully. Until then, I'm trying to write some short stories to publish. Hopefully 'd then be able to use these writing skill and credentials to get a job doing something with writing (editing would be ideal).

Military police officer.

I have a masters in electrical engineering.
I'm making bank in IT. Writing is a hobby of mine, not a job.
Since I have a purely stem education, everything in history, philosophy, and literature I learn myself for fun. I don't think a diploma on a piece of paper will make you a better writer

Military service is essentially mandatory in my family. Everyone, three generations back. All brothers, every uncle except one, grandparents, everyone.

Corporate Communications, or as I like to call it, ideology at its purest.

>>4511073
thank god i'm not white

US Military? Strange: it's mandatory because of your family's history in the military? If so, that is basically my family's history. I was joking about the GPA thing because most officers that I experienced had around 2.5 GPAs; thus, being an officer was a last resort. inb4 Hume blah blah. Well, it's much better than enlisted. Which branch?

>>4511073
That one uncle is the most interesting one?

I am enlisted. Everyone serves enlisted. My family has no officers. Marines.

He's a redneck who dirt track races on the weekends. His greatest pleasure is nascar. He's lived in the same city in the same neighborhood for his whole entire life.

If that sounds like your bag, sure. He's the most interesting one.

>Marines.
Nice. My father is a Sgt. Major in the Marines. My brother is a staff sergeant EOD

I am a Lawyer.

Working on a degree in pure mathematics, hoping to go onto a PhD. Never plan on actually getting a job related to mathematics.
For money I have scholarships and also work as a janitor, which gives me time to think and listen to audiobooks.
Recently I've been inspired by http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2014/01/how-to-hack-okcupid/ to try making a program that will search okkay cupid and hook me up with rich slightly older sugermamas who are attracted to bohemian leaches

I'm a translator.

And a cool guy too.

>>4511323
What do you translate? How does your job typically go?
I'm pretty interested in pursuing such a career so I'd like to know.

>>4511153
Same.

Work at a warehouse; lots of time to read and study, and the pay is quite good.

I can see you're having a hard time. I don't want to judge you or criticise you in any way, because I know nothing of your situation, but I hope that you overcome your sadness. Good luck.

I have a question for a lawyer. No, really. It's about lawyers themselves and ethical behavior.
Ahem. If a lawyer does something unethical outside of their practice, are there consequences? Like, if he was using stolen images on his website, and you got him to take them down, but is there still a way to report that he did that?

Daily reminder that if you aren't NEET master race you're a pleb.

>>4511624
Sorry, I meant "are" and obviously the master race thing was meant to be ironic.

>>4511488
this better b foreign office m8

and also i know you're lying because civil service exams are ridiculous and nobody talented enough to have passed them would be on 4chan

unless of course you're defra lel

>>4511616
Yes, lawyers can get in trouble for unethical behavior outside of practice, especially if it puts there ability to honestly and responsibly fulfill their duties. You can file complaints about an attorney with the American Bar Association (ABA).

In your example, if the lawyer was using images that someone else owned the copyright for the ABA probably wouldn't give a fuck unless the lawyer knew for a fact that he was stealing the images and tried to cover it up or threaten you when you confronted him about it. If you just happened to find a lawyer's website that used images it didn't have the rights to, you contacted them about it, and they took it down, then your complaint would be laughed at. Of course it's always fact specific.

>you just happened to find a lawyer's website that used images it didn't have the rights to, you contacted them about it, and they took it down
I did, it was one of mine. I don't think I can prove he knew it, but he may have. It was a shot of my wife, who he's having an affair with. She designed the site. He's also married, but his wife doesn't know. Yet.

>>4511725
I mean, I haven't done anything yet, just found it this morning (the image on the site, I mean)

I work as communications officer for several local charities as well as doing freelance consulting work on online marketing.

Most of the consulting comes from knowledge an average person would pick up after an hour's reading on the topic. There's a whole industry based around this shit.

>>4511727
Yeah, the ABA almost certainly wouldn't get involved in that. You'll probably have to rely on social shame and not any official reprimand. If the ABA did get involved and decided to do something (they wouldn't) it would probably be a slap on the wrist.

>>4510976

no way. good going. doing what?

>be 20
>parents have no real expectations so I get to live with them for pretty much as long as I want without paying
>will kill myself at the first sight of things going south
hell, it beats working.

>>4511758
It really, really doesn't.

>>4511742
Ah, social shame. I'm too busy for anything complicated, but his wife might have some free time and inclination.

>>4511727
also, thanks

>>4511758
Working gives your worthless existence som worth to others and thereby purpose. You need to stop shielding yourself from that existential angst, because I'm pretty sure you don't have the balls to kill yourself.

Damn it feels good to be a gangster.

Just a reminder:

Law is sophistry.

>>4511827
Like the truth matters...

>>4511778
No problem.

>>4511827
Only if we're talking about litigators doing things in court, which is an absurdly small sliver of the legal profession nowadays.

>>4511844
Then what does the average lawyer do?

Businessman

>>4511947
motherfucking lol at this image lol

>>4511758
Look forward to the day when you realise how much you would hurt other by killing yourself. It´ll be the day you realise that you actually have to face all your problems.

Suicide is worse than killing your parents.

>>4511859
Mergers and Acquisitions (contract analysis for companies buying or getting bought by other companies), tax law and bankruptcy law (looking at the tax code to try and minimize payments), trusts and estates (writing up wills and stuff), intellectual property law (establishing new IP, or analyzing the legal feasibility of doing so), labor + employment stuff (setting policy and providing protection for companies with employees), Finance and Real Estate law (more contract analysis), Corporate and Securities law (looking at the laws that govern corporations and securities so that corporations can exist and securities can be bought and sold without breaking laws and incurring huge fines).

Basically lawyers look at documents. And then they look at more documents. And then they look at more documents. And then they edit some documents. And then they look at the documents that someone else has edited and argue about the edits in the documents. And then they look at more documents. You want law as rhetoric go talk to some politicians.

Abella Anderson's performance in District 69--while bursting with gusto and enthusiasm--regrettably leaves something to be desired. Her character, the young Senorita Cockhold, struts a perilous--and oftentimes blurry--line between a symbol of innocuous virginal purity and experienced cum-guzzler. This critical character dissonance, combined with the fact that the movie is not quite able to escape from the familiar tropes of the sci-fi extra-terrestriality porno genre, make District 69 a predictable, flaccid and an ultimately forgettable erotic experience.
