What do you do for a living?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm hoping to develop a TV show for children with autism. What do you do?

i am a parasite at present.

I'm on SSDI but I have a part time job as an on-line tutor.

Nothing that spectacular. I make doors. I'm an educated carpenter, papers and all. Been working with furnitures, doors since 1980, mostly in the finishing end(painting) and assembling.

I'm an international telecom commercial section employee, working with VIP customers all over the world. I've been doing this for 10 years and love it.

At present I am trying to adapt to a new role in society since I have just recently applied to draw my social security pension. As a back up to that role I am very much wanting to learn how to be a host to women who who want to be parasites as Millie mentioned above. I am not to sure what is involved with being a host but I hope it feels good as opposed to being ripped apart and eaten by monsters as you see on television.

When I'm older I want to be a travel guide writer and photographer. I'm learning a lot, and already had 1 article and 1 photo published on holiday websites.

At present....

I am an Aggregate Processing Technician for an asphalt company. I prep quarry rock and reclaimed asphalt, and batch out test samples for our engineers to test new asphalt mix designs. Since I started working here, i have learned there is much more to the roads we drive - or walk - on.

Before this, though, I've been a cook, a waiter, a safety switch assembler, a warehouse coordinator, and even did a brief stint in a call center doing tech support work.

My long-term career goal is to design video games under my own label. Yes, yes, I know - I will be competing with 20-somethings who have been attached to a keyboard their entire lives, and so my age will likely be quite the liability. My Bachelor's will help but it is really only the tip of the iceberg. There's so much that goes into it I don't know if I can't do it myself, and i don't know if I could find people who wouldn't immediately chuckle under their breath if I were to share my ideas.

cool that you make doors, if i worked i would be the one to FIX them, with your job, do you build only residential or for both business and home use??

i currently do nothing, and i don't get paid by government (not on SS or ssdi)

I don't know if this counts but I am starting to become a well known artist and have been accepted into many shows (they start in April including one in New York) and I am also starting to become a professional speaker. In fact, I have 2 autism conferences that I am speaking at in May. One is a small one, but the other they are basically paying me over $1,000 to do a 20-30 minute speech. Since I am just a beginner, I am not being paid in cash but rather a booth and at these conferences, especially one of this size (the second one) the booths are over $1,000 and all they expect the speakers to pay for it is $25. I have contacts that say that soon I will be doing speeches around the country and make around $10,000 a speech. That is when I get well known. I've read on the Internet that some big time speakers (the keynote speakers usually) can make $50,000 for a 90 minute speech. These are for conferences, not schools. I don't think schools pay anything if you do a speech there. But I am still planning to do speeches at schools as well about bullying. If a bully physically hurts someone, I think it should be treated as assault...a criminal case. That should cut down in bullying (I don't know what they would do if its just someone calling you names though) and people don't have to live in fear of being beat up after school. I was constantly bullied and physically and verbally attacked daily in middle school. It brought on my first psychotic episode it was so bad. I don't want people to go through what I went through. Another thing is I want to talk to the teachers because when I was attacked, they blamed me because I was "different" so I was the one that was suspended and the attacker got off without punishment. Just because I started crying and reacting. Who wouldn't react when someone stabs you as hard as they can into your ribs with a capped pen. I want all this to change, no matter what it takes.

Nothing right now, and that's a problem!

I got my Ph.D. in engine research. However, I am thinking about leaving the science career path.

Science appears to be detrimental toward developing other areas of my life. Science = no money, geeky social outcast, mocked by women. I have actually observed a woman mock a whole series of speakers (not me) at the 2007 Hertz Foundation conference. The gender imbalance in the sciences/engineering is also a serious problem (for men) from the standpoint of finding appropriate spouses, in addition to all the other concerns. It’s been interesting, meaningful, fun, mind expanding and all that. However, I must not remain in this area of work if doing so will keep me in an uncomfortable position and prevent my life from fully developing. I must be in the wrong place if what I do is not socially valued and not financially rewarded.

One of the reasons firefighters and soldiers (especially the higher ranks) can make friends and find wives easily is because they are immediately recognized when they describe themselves. Everyone understands what they do, and they are considered heroes. And they have a job that pays. Maybe there really is something about money that attracts people, or maybe mannerisms become nicer when people are more comfortable. If I could at least support myself, that would be a step in the right direction, and I am going to have to do that anyway. I don't want to beg and lean on people forever.

Science can still be who I am, but I need another role that produces a steady income, even if it's something completely unrelated. I might have an easier time with relating to people with a second role, even if it's a disguise I must wear to fit in.

We do almost everything, we also sell doors from other manufacturers. What we are specialists on is wooden doors, made to look like the one people have to replace in old houses, and we make 'em exactly as people want them. We also have our standard doors who fit in most houses. Some doors are to be fitted into some real ancient, historic houses and that can be a real challenge, cause it have to be approved by some government standards. We mainly work in materials like pine, oak and teak
