What do you do in real life? (A Noncontroversial Time Waster)

[Urthdigger]

I work at an Amazon warehouse, looking to go back to school and become a computer programmer.

It's so cool to see so many different jobs on here it's cool to see diversity on what players do!

As for me I just do simple customer service. Nothing glamorous but the atmosphere in our office is nice and I love my coworkers.

Until my mental health took a turn for the worse, I was a software developer using Java. Currently focusing on getting my mental health back in shape and then planning to go back to software development and also become a TEFL teacher.

As a person who programs and taught it to high school kids, if your teacher is having you write a code that is 1000+ lines long... You have a sadist for a teacher. >.>

I took a PHP class in 2012, the first assignment at the end of the first day of class, "By Wednesday you need a HTML5.0 compatible website with at least 5 pages. Complete with, CSS, div tags, and PHP code you learned today"

1. Not a Web Design Major
2. Haven't made a webpage in just under twenty years.
3. When the heck did HTML get a number on the end?

That class was brutal. I won't lie though, my final project webpage was pretty good.

As for 1000 lines of code. When dealing with SQL and some other stuff adding outside junk in.. It wasn't that uncommon. Doesn't make it less heinous though (so yes, college prog instructors are sadist bastards). I mean we got on the moon with less than what? 15,000?

US Army Veteran, Property Investment, Amateur Voice-Actor, Part-time game developer, and full-time caretaker.

After getting out of the Army, I finished up my IT degree in college. Afterwards I started helping a family member with failing health. Group of friends got together and started a creative group. I've done a bit of voice acting for a small time radio drama and currently working on another project to help an author with a voiced drama based on a new work. I'm also working on a game development project that hopefully will help market another book series by the same author.

Thank you for your service! <3

With PHP and SQL I can see that, and especially back in 2012. Thankfully languages have come a long way and you can accomplish in a few lines things that would take hours to code. But yes, your professor was indeed a sadist.

That's super cool! ^.^ I wanted to be a translator but I don't think I have the proper aptitude for languages T.T I'm still trying to keep up with my Spanish though even though I left school a couple years ago

Reading helps a lot. It doesn't help with speaking practice and pronunciation, but even if it's just starting with comic books, read books, light novels, and as your vocab builds and you understand grammatical patterns, read harder material. Heck, go on YouTube and watch Spanish Let's players or movies or such to help with your listening too. Lots of stuff you can do for practice o.ob

[Miyha]

I'm a medical assistant. Similar to a licensed practical nurse only we can do more. :P

I poke people with needles, take vitals, do EKGs, perform physicals... among various other tests and things. I will be working in an occupational health clinic come the end of the month, which is basically like an urgent care for workers' comp cases.
