I work as a housekeeper at a Veterans' Hospital.  A government job where you can get away with a lot of crap, and a lot of employees really test the waters (pick fights with other employees, misbehave in other ways, screw around, etc.).  I do not; I stay busy (though I will take extended breaks since I deserve 'em) and do more detail work in my ward than pretty much anyone else.  Staff/supers are almost universally cool with me and I am generally pretty happy there (save for an employee currently TRYING to get fired) and make good money-- PLENTY to keep a roof over my head and have some cool toys in my house, like a popcorn stand, 60 inch hidef tv and some arcade machines.

I work at a US branch of a Berlin-based closed-client art broker, specializing in auctions and gallery promotions, mostly events outside the US, either domestic clients whose art is brokered within the EU or less often EU clients whose output is privately brokered inside the US, and also as the need arises I do pre and post employment screenings for another employer I've been with for most of my life, manage several LLCs within my family (rental properties and construction and restoration businesses), and raise three children, albeit less and less as they get older. (Sorry, sad second, there.)

It's not as glam as it sounds. Mostly I'm an intern-herder.

I had to do community service once as part of some stupid s**t I did when I was drunk, and it was going around all the stones in the graveyard with a weed wacker. I enjoyed it. I knew lots of the last names.

High School Teacher, media and english. We watch a lot of movies and make things. It's pretty fun though you do get some wild characters. One of my student groups recently made a mockumentary on flat earthers which was hilarious.

Also one of my kids remixed a trailer for the Wizard of Oz which I thought was pretty darn professional for a 15 year old. Put it on the blu ray release!

I am so looking forward to 'retiring' on the 3rd of July 2023 (ok, I don't actually get to retire, because the pension isn't quite high enough to live on), but at least it does mean I can just get a regular job and not worry about a career any more.

Wont hit the current official retirement age until 2042, although by the time I get there I suspect the retirement age will have been upped to somewhere in your 70's.

I had to retire at 53 because of my heart surgeries. I'm 56 now. I get $1,198 a month.
I pay the mortgage ($420 a month) and the the electric.
Tiana pays the gas, water, garbage and internet.

Family physician, in the western USA, in Kaiser Permanente.   I also have a part in setting pharmacy formulary policy, which is interesting and skeptical work.

Other paying jobs I've done:   farm hand, stall cleaner, cafeteria worker, tissue harvester for the eye bank, nurse's aide in a nursing home.
I have never done a job that involved running a cash register.  I have no idea how to run a cash register (other than what I have just observed, while buying stuff).

But I have had a trauma nurse (on a trauma floor at a level 1 trauma center) flee the room as I set about my work.  "I can't do eyes!"
