Pretty much nothing honestly. I load and unload freight on a dock. The forklift does 99% of my job. Only problem is, they give full-time less than a nun gives pussy, so they only got me on 4 days and limit me to 30 hours. I'm getting some good people in my corner though, so I should be getting FT soon enough. Until then, I just do my job and make my money.

LOL. I have a degree in broadcasting/editing. I wanted to be a video editor, I could just never get my foot in the door. I also tried getting into radio production as I worked with that equipment too, but again, foot outside the door. Eventually, I just got too old with no real experience.

Wasn't judging, chill.
Just asked. Most people I know who got a degree do not work industrial or blue collAr work.
How you like it? How old are by the way?

Working on unloading crates doesn't sound like someone who went to college. Don't be a dick. I'm just stating. Maybe he's a lot happier than you are in the accountant world.

Somewhere around 50% of college graduates do not get a job in that field. In fact, there are many manual laborers that have college degrees that get paid more to do labor.

I didn't say you were judging, I'm just not sure where the question came from. It's not what I envisioned myself doing, but the few people I knew at ABC and ESPN radio got me nowhere. Not even so much as an interview. My uncle is a low level director, but he does have connections, and I got nothing from him either. So I wallowed around in retail work making less peanuts than Dumbo. After dealing with that bullshit, getting this was a breath a fresh air. It's a fucking cake walk. Less stressful than retail, and I make pretty solid money, even at part time. It'll be even better at full time. So to answer your questions, I love it, and I'm 31.

Going to college isn't some "guarantee" of work, fucknut. I know you didn't go (or haven't finished) at the young age of 26... but don't be a dumbass.

I used to work in a warehouse. Made decent money and always envied the forklifter at my job. He would just get high as a kite and chill in that forklift all day. Cool ass dude tho. Laid back as all hell

It seems like it's funny that people think a specific degree = specific job or career success. I majored in Humanities and Writing, never had a job in related fields, and my team performs better than my peers with degrees in Finance. One guy I work with is going back to school to get his MBA. Have know idea how that's gonna help him but whatevs.
