I did the same thing for a while, I worked as a tutor for my college but it wasn't work study. and it was an open tutoring room, not scheduled tutoring, so I got paid for the time I was available rather than the time I was actually helping ppl. probably more than half the hours I worked over the course of 2 years I didn't actually do any work lmao

yea it's a good job, I didn't really have anything in mind and the only other offer I had at the time wasn't great. plus I work from home, pretty solid gig overall

Mardalf:
I'm an electrician now yeeeeeeaaaa! which means I sit in a truck a lot, drive heavy machinery around on trailers, dig trenches, risk death by cooking my internal organs, drink way to many energy drinks, think about punching holes in drywall a lot (because sheetrockers don't understand that the little blue boxes in the walls AREN'T FOR THEM TO PUT ALL THEIR LEFTOVER MUD IN!!) but then I don't because someone has to be the better man and obviously since electricians are better that means us.
All so peoples wifi enabled toilets have power

haha thats epic. doing electricity is fun imo but you have to know what you're doing or you'll be literal toast! my father and I ran aluminum service wire from power pole to basement breaker box which ran up to the 3rd story/attic of a big home, that was a hell of a learning experience for me at the time being fresh out of highschool.
them energy drinks tho man...there was a time when I was working 12-16 hour shifts at a factory and was relying on energy drinks to keep me going and it sucked because I always felt like stuff - plus i barely even had enough time to spend my checks and the work was physically painful and exhausting too so that didn't help. nowadays i usually drink those body armors (blu raz or strawberry banana) but occasionally I'll get one of those starbucks double shot coffee in a can.
also, wifi toilets wtf. i wonder if you take a big stuff in one does it interfere with the signal?!
