Hey anons. I’m sick of my job because it makes me clean human feces. I didn’t sign up to the job to do it and now they always have me do it because no one else does it, they cut costs so they let go our entire maintenance company. All of upper management isn’t afraid to do it either but it’s a deal breaker for me.
Any ideas for jobs where you don’t do that and have at least an ounce of self respect? I’m a literate person. Non aggressive, empathetic and sensible. It doesn’t take me much to learn new things and adapt, maybe someone can toss me an idea for a remote job?? Or something? Idk. Help.

Most jobs don't include cleaning human waste. Do any of those.

>>3320840
>most jobs
Name them
Name /some/
Im just so pissed off I can barely think straight man. I talked about it with my manager and he tried giving me “advice” about it like it was a normal thing to not hire someone else for maintenance. I’m a fucking salesman, not some low brow bottom barrel earner that gets by through the grit of his teeth and has tattoos and works in a fucking restaurant serving boomers and other ungrateful scumchuds.

My therapist once told me the story of a patient who shut himself off from life and got back on his feet, because he "forced" him to get literally any job to stop spiraling down and get a routine.
That guy became a postman so for some reason that's always the first thing that jumps to mind for questions like this

Was a nurse, became a big rig driver.
Haven't looked back since.

>>33208527
That’s kind of what I’m doing
Being a postman sounds like too much fast paced work

I’m literally asking for ideas on a comfortable job Mr I Won’t Read Your Threadnon

Just go OTR.
You can stay in the truck for weeks at a time if you want- I'm 11 days out 3 days home and I routinely hit texas, wisconsin, maine, florida, etc.
You can get pretty far in a handful of days.

Highly recommend audiobooks btw, get paid more to cruise and listen to fantasy stories/music for 6-10hrs/day than I did putting out fires and wiping poo with my degree.
Downside is you're paying a premium for all your meals- truck stop fare, frozen dishes, ordering out. Not enough space for a pantry/kitchen, and something like a campstove will cause you trouble entering some facilities (incendiary devices and all that).

What part of living in your car and eating processed junk for almost two weeks straight is cozy? I appreciate the sentiment anon but sacrificing home time for that feels…. Like you have no personal time. Do you at least avoid manual labor outside of driving?

>>33208698
How old are you? Maybe you could learn some trade?

I’m 27. I hear that computer science nerds are a dying breed because of an AI surge. I like the idea of working from home and being a techie. I’m ok with computers but can’t wrap my head around the fundamentals of programming. Maybe I should pirate some courses in cybersecurity, or something.

>>33208953
I was thinking something more physical but suppose that works to.
>I hear that computer science nerds are a dying breed because of an AI surge
Fuck if I know man. I got a degree in that shit and the AI code I've seen so far is utter garbage. The problem is that higher ups don't care. At least in my company. As long as it werks they don't care about nerd shit like maintainability and scalability.
So I guess time will tell. Maybe I'm just coping, who knows.

>>33208859
It's more like living in a walk-in closet.
And while I miss cooking and grocery store prices, I wouldn't characterize my diet as pure "processed junk".
But then if you're some crunchy granolanon who *would*...yeah you've set yourself up for difficulties.

Re: personal time, you can have some very long days but there are HARD limits on it written into law- no more than 70hrs onduty in an 8-day period, no more than 14 hours in a day, no more than 11 hours driving, no more than 8hrs driving without a break, and you NEED a legal minimum 10hr break before starting your next shift.
That sounds like a lot but those are hard caps- it's illegal to do more, no matter what your employer or customer wants.
Meanwhile, there's no commute, (literally fall out of bed and start rolling), you get to dictate how long your day is, when/where/how long you take breaks, when you wake up and when you go to sleep etc. So long as the shit gets where it needs to go on-time, it's all your choice.
You're the captain.
And the work is...driving. No spreadsheets, no office politics, no customer service, no meetings, no boss breathing down your neck, no wiping shit. Just tooling along looking at the scenery and listening to whatever.
I usually have 8-10hr days, with ~20% going to 12, maybe 5% going to 14. So usually I've got 4-8hrs to myself each night.
Another "downside" though- you won't be able to visit 4chins on the road. All the mobile network IP ranges are banned, so you'd have to do that premium account shit or break your addiction.

As for manual labor, that depends on the gig. Some stuff can be pretty intensive- flat beds with their tie-downs, unloading the container/reefer itself (never sign up if this is in the job description imo), chem tankers with their hoses. But there're also a lot of jobs that can give 80 or even 100% no-touch freight.

I guess coziness depends on how you feel about living in a small AC'd room filled to the brim with your favorite stuff.

Your company jewd you, the nice and quiet guy to do janitor work because they are to cheap to hire a janitor. Not all companies do this, just scummy ones. But the first "cozy" job that comes to mind is some security work where you sit behind a desk.

You either turn up your nose, or you turn up your sleeves. Only one of those is work.

I became a cad drafter because it’s a task that’s easy for me and comfy/enjoyable enough. Doesn’t really feel like work but I do wish I wasn’t indoors all day.
Anyway try and find a thing that doesn’t really feel like work and comes naturally, it took me a few things before I found this instead of sticking with the first thing.

If you share what kind of hobbies you enjoy or tasks you like or just what things you felt good about in school maybe we could give you some ideas I dunno

Security, delivery driver, florist, merchandising, sales, customer support, assistant, medical billing, construction, stocker, any store with a pick up option will have shoppers, at a clothing store, etc.

Full or empty?

Earnestly, and you can flame me for this if you want, can you smoke/vape weed on the down low after your shift? And is it feasible to workout/go for a run? I am a marathoner and have always considered trucking, but worried I'd put on the pounds and that I couldn't smoke (I was a late starter, picked up at 24)
I don't think I'd force myself to change. I am going into real estate with a pre license course this fall at the moment, but it's embarassing that with 2 Bach degrees my pivotting from Teaching (retarded) has me delivering food and making comparable to my first sales job.

That's a sticking point- random drug screens are an industry standard per regulation. Even owner-operators have to register with a third party 'consortium' to get their randoms taken care of.
The DOT screen is a piss test for thc/speed/coke/opiates, and THC can stay in your system for 3 days from a single use. Longer with more uses (or if you're fat).
A lot of the starter companies will do a pre-employment hair follicle test and that'll come up positive 2-3 months since the last dose.

I started having a few beers post-shift instead, and while it hasn't helped my waistline it's only tested with a breathalyzer (not a problem if you're not moving when you shouldn't) and will only get you in trouble if you don't throw out the empties in the morning or if you try to keep some in your fridge. (you can't transport them)
Also if you work for a company they'll probably fire you if they find out. I've heard some truckers toe the line by renting a motel/hotel room nextdoor to the truckstop and doing their drinking in there, but that sounds like an expensive pita.

For exercise, I do so in the truckstop shower rooms with a kettlebell I bring along. It's not great, since I don't want to hog a shower for multiple sets and therefor have to use a heavier weight, but still.
If you want to take a shower immediately after your run, that might be annoying because there's usually a line, depending on the time of day and how expensive the showers are. (7-15$, but most larger chains hand them out for free with diesel purchases...which results in lines at those stops)
Also, if you're parked in a city, I can't imagine that'd be good (or safe) scenery for a jog.
You could probably get in line when you think you're 10 minutes out with the applicable truckstop's app or something.
fwiw

From my understanding it's usually paired with something like architecture what's your specialty and how did you get your foot in the door?
