Is your job /lit/ related? Do you have any regrets in regards to your profession?

I'm a truck driver. I get paid to drive trucks 14 hours a day.

I spend those 14 hours listening to audiobooks.

I am paid to read whatever I want.

Right now Im a package handler so not really, later on when I have a car Im going to learn carpentry and settle with that. I would try to work in something /lit/ related but Im not bothering with a degree, things like bookstores arent a very good career unless I own one, and Im smart enough to know that unless its a business like I said I wouldnt want a job in something I love because I know I’ll end up hating it. Carpentry can be pretty hard on the body I imagine but I like the craft and its very useful in life so I dont think ill regret it

Grad student in literature. So not lit at all

I don't regret my decisions given the context, but I'm working to get out of this life. The income to afford family, friends, and living are more important than the egotistic life of the mind, my good chums.

Yeah. I studied economics and I’m a financial analyst now. In retrospect, I wouldn’t have studied economics and I definitely wouldn’t have gone into financial analysis.

I'm a highschool philosophy teacher. It's /lit/ because it keeps me in touch with the subject, but not that much because it's in Brazil and young people here behave like monkeys.

I'm a journalist, kind of /lit/ i'd say, but the topic is dense and at times boring - finance. but sometimes you get the opportunity to write a good piece. No regrets so far, because I can pretty much work at my own pace. I hate waking up early, but my company let's me work later hours, all from home currently.

Finance journalism? Like reporting a company's performance or like a funding?

>> No.16895962

>>16895620
mostly stock-based, so yeah, usually it's company performance, stock-wise and fundamental if it's earnings season, some portraits, some pieces about what hedge funds are doing, and some more macro-focused stuff (e.g. what are central banks doing about inflation etc.).
