I work in cybersecurity looking at malware written by hackers. I wouldn't say its a "bullshit" job as some of things I have looked at are of real geopolitical consequence, but wow do I hate it. Its doing the same shit all the time, never interfacing with new ideas - I am just essentially acting as a computer to protect other computers. There is no "human ambiguity" as Rushkoff would say. I read to interface with new ideas, and I am severely lacking that in most of my time each week due to a job that is so un-/lit/.

What do you do for work /lit/? And how do you like it?

Also what would your ideal job be if you were to focus on the /lit/ aspects of your life?

Precariously employed teaching STEM students about philosophy of science and ethics. Medfags are mostly cool, too many of the engineers live up to every stereotype of fedora-tipping supreme gentlemen. I like it, for now.
I'll keep pursuing a career in academia by applying for a phd in a few months, and eventually ending up as a professor is my ideal career.

Even if I never make it past adjunct, that's an OK position in my country. They'll do a publish or perish review every few years, but I think I'll handle it, the pay is fine for what it is, and most importantly, it isn't soul-killing work. When I tried my hand at other kinds of waging, I ended up spending half my wage on drugs because I was not enjoying my life at all.

I work in the warehousing bit of a factory. The work is easy, the people I work with are good people and I get paid more than I probably deserve. Is it bullshit? Probably. It's mind-numbing most of the time, only enjoyable because of my co-workers. But people like to buy shit and that shit needs to get made and put on sale. The work isn't fulfilling though, and as much as I enjoy the company of my co-workers, they are working class people with working class educations so conversations are limited somewhat. I doubt this situation would be improved even if I moved up to the white collar area of this company though.

Good luck, anon. Nursing can be difficult (the population-level expectations, the malpractice cloak, the bursts of intense activity that punctuate overworked boredom - the procedures and skills are secondary IRL, it's the interfacing aspect that burns most people out).

I studied computer science in college and got a job working in incident response. From there I learned more about reverse engineering and switched over to that full time.

Read pic related and apply to incident response jobs WITH a cover letter. You may need to lie on your resume to get an interview if all you have is cook experience (say something like you maintain a homelab, or just actually set up a homelab so you aren't lying, or do hackthebox challenges).

As long as you actually understand the concepts in the book and get an interview you will land a job, the book has the answers to most things you will be asked. SANS posters are also a good resource:

I work with SEO getting products and other pages ranked. Being techy and growing up with Totse, 4chan, etc has made this a perfect fit. In fact, I've done so well I've been given a huge partner percentage in the company.

I find it fun as it's a mixture of legal and "illegal" (according to Google's terms of service) stuff and trying to beat out everyone else.

The factors that go into ranking are still laughably simple. You'd imagine with such immense use it would be difficult but nothing in SEO is all that difficult, it's just whether or not you're able to think outside the box to beat the competitors.

Local SEO is even easier, and like I said above, if you rank you will sell, period.

Personally I was extremely lucky as my boss got me all the tools needed (some are pretty pricey) so it made learning a much quicker process.

OP here, I don't see them as inhuman at all, they are bright guys, good businessmen, and in fact are probably living some of the best lives on this planet right now.

I am supremely jealous of them. They have the skills and knowledge to make easy millions off of crap organizations that have essentially infinite money and have insurance to pay for it anyway. Nothing of value is lost in 99% of the ransoms, its only hospitals and shit thats inhumane imo, and most won't target things like that.

If I wouldn't get V& for doing the same thing in my country I'd sure as hell be doing the same thing. I used to think "how sad, if these bright guys were in America they'd be hired to make an honest living" but honestly they are getting paid what they are worth and I'm not, and they probably work less.

I've got a pretty awesome baking job. Hours suck for most people but I like getting up at 3 -- I ride my bicycle 9 miles to work at 4:15 and get there by 5. Not a huge talker in general and I get a lot of time to think before everyone fully wakes up about 9 to shoot the shit, talk about the game or joke around. I'm a forgetful fuck so I always miss little attention to details but it's a lax environment.

Someday I guess I'll become a bakehouse manager somewhere but will always wonder if there was something better for me. I have been thinking about joining the coast guard and trying to get experienced working in electrical maintenance on their ships. I have a strong ASVAB score from when I went to MEPS when I thought I wanted to join the marine corps. The only thing that keeps me from dropping my situation is that I want to keep training jijitsu and go thru hiking before joining the miltary. I'm 25 so I better fucking hurry before I get too old.

Work as a truck dispatcher for 10 hours a day from 2pm till midnight.
I want to kill myself every day.

Next month is the first year of my education to becoming a codemonkey. Wish me luck. Software engineering is peak comfy. Hope I can construct a greenhouse garden someday to relax at before my demise. Like the one in the Madrid botanical garden.

As long as pay is good, I'd do anything, and software engineering sounds like work that allows me to do my own thing which involves puzzling without being annoyed by normalfags. All I need is money and I'll be able to pursue my hobbies and have a family and all that jazz. Stop being gay.

I'm a electrical/materials (took some material engineering classes at undergrad, had my master in it) engineer and I work at the R&D at some company. I don't dislike my work honestly, it's cool, I have freedom to do what I want, nice pay, not much stress, nice coworkers. I think I'll try to get a PhD and get into an uni as professor some day.

Code monkey. Despise it but if you are actually decent at code (like can shit out O(nlogn) consistently) it is only 1.5K hr/yr for good pay

My job's mostly running reports, web scraping, updating the company site, and automating shit. Learned Python last year and found out the vast majority of my job could be automated, so I probably work 10 hours a week out of the 40 I get paid for. It's drily interesting work, usually novel projects that I pick for myself. My boss doesn't care that I'm a lazy piece of shit because I look great on paper. Fully remote, spend half my days at coffee shops. Plan to devote more of my time to reading/writing, I've been working on other projects instead for the most part.

I worked as a corporate attorney for a couple of years after getting my master's and I've decided to get a PhD. Fuck this gay Earth. Graeber's book is excellent and anyone who tells you "companies are too well ran, too ruthless and too competitive to create bullshit jobs" are either full of shit or lying to your face.

Don't go to Japan, go to either an Eastern European country or South America and live there to your last days. I'm not joking, if you go to certain parts of Argentina/Uruguay/Chile it's completely doable and enjoyable. I'm saying this assuming your inheritance is in Euros or Dollars.

Really enjoyed this illustration of principles any thinking person who has worked at an office has clearly observed.
