ups. some days it can be really fast paced and lots of heavy lifting but it's a good workout. the pay and benefits are also pretty decent

right now I work as a programmer. I used to have a slightly fancier job title but that got changed that not long after I started. I do automation for mail processing, which was absolutely not where I thought I'd end up in my early 20s but tbh this job kinda fell into my lap

so you like...work at the college you attend...to pay for the college you attend? props for working for an education and all but wouldn't it be more mindful to go for an apprenticeship or something? they actually pay you to learn

crazy how that happens, lol. hey as long as you don't absolutely hate your job and the people you work with, and it pays well, might as well stick with it even if it wasn't quite what you had in mind :)

its not a work study, i get actual paychecks that i often use on various things unrelated to college. i also have a good amount of scholarships and other financial aid so im not paying that much semester to semester. also a matter of convenience because i dont have to drive to separate locations / its easier to work around my classes
