/fa/ - Fashion

>>10548687
Oh, and how much do you earn?

I'm a broke ass commission artist trying to become a concept artist.

I earn 600 a month from arts, and another 600 from flipping burgers part time. The amount of money i've been earning from commissions has been increasing and the more it increases, the less i my dead end shit job.

Hopefully soon i start making enough to just do art so i can enjoy life.

>>10549255
Good luck fam.

Tfw just want to do nothing and shit. Thinking about fashion design major because I like it and can see but I don't want to do work tbh. Also I'm terribly crippled socially.

>>10549255

I work part time as a lab technician at a chem lab while studying chemical engineering in college.

About $700/month

M8 m8 m8 I graduated in December from a top ten urban planning school. I fucked up not going to grad school this autumn. If you aren't going to get a masters don't even bother. There are no jobs in this field for BS in urban planning holders. Get out now.

Architectural Designer
I mean basically Im an architect but I havent gotten my graduate degree so I'm not licensed.

software implementation.

work remote, travel to a new (usually major) city weekly, and live off a per diem + 60k a year at 23.

I work in a library. I'm not a librarian, since you need a fuckhuge degree for that, I'm just a lowly drone.

Make 13$ hourly (a bit over minimum here, which is 11$ hourly), which gives me about 2 000$ montly.

Not glamorous, but it's stupid easy work, and very enjoyable.

That's pretty cool. A lot of concept art I've seen looks quite a lot like what you're doing, so I guess you're doing it well. Best of luck man :)

>>10550329
Thanks. I'm gonna need some luck if i want to actually pull off making a living from concept art.

It's a really tiny and exclusive field. There are tons of good artists who don't make it because there are only about 80k positions available for it in the u.s, with millions of kids going to school for it and even more self taught artists trying to get the job as well. Getting good enough to actually do the job is hard enough, and once you achieve that it becomes about networking and knowing the right people which is also pretty daunting.

I think i can do it though. I'm wont be content unless i can live my dream, you know? For me personally, working a normal job for the rest of my life would be worse than death.

Im a forklift driver and currently finishing up a body piercing apprenticeship.

>>10550378
As long as you don't let your dreams be dreams, you'll live a life that you'd have never expected.

I'll be honest with ya, something looks wrong with this picture, not sure what it is tho. I don't like your lines either feels amature-ish. Anyways, gl m8.

I work at the storage of a clothing department store. Boring as hell but will do for the time being before I'll have to enter conscription in january.

I have never had a job in my life. I'm 20 and in my final uni year, I have no interviews lined up, no experience, very little motivation left to finish my degree and pretty bad depression. How I have managed to accumulate what /fa/ stuff I have is a mystery to me.

I'm a medical device sales rep for one of the largest producers of Opthalmics.

It's a good job, and the best start for a sales career anybody could ask for. The pay is good, my performance bonus is great, and the benefits are god-tier. The only downside is dealing with medical professionals... Some physicians can be downright rude and abusive.

Have a friend who is a college lecturer in graphic design, he makes reasonably good money.

Reckon unless you're a sought after freelancer or work for the right company it's probably pretty average.

Companies I've worked at (non graphic design / creative ones) they were all paid pretty poorly.

I alternate between navy and green.

Getting my master's in nursing. Going to be an NP.

>>10552829
I'm not from the US, but NP sound alot like the docs work. What's the difference?

>>10552848
They are. Scope and independence of practice varies - some states NPs have to be supervised by an MD. But NPs prescribe, do more thorough assessments, and do some advanced procedures (stitches, central line placement, intubation, etc.) Then, of course, we're nurses, so we have a whole different frame of reference. In general I'd say nurses are more collaborative with patients and have a better handle on the psycho social side of things.

Just got a shitty sales job at Ikea just to get off welfare.. I'm a trained photographer with another management course of studies on top because fuck photography.
Wanted to work in an agency doing project management or as a sales person in a luxury store (applied at Boss & Paul Smith), had a lot of interviews but everyone told me i don't have enough "experience" with customers. did two internships at relevant companies as well.
this ikea position fucks up my good resume, I might not put it in, there is a small timespan of joblessness you can justify after finishing your degree.

Agreeing with:
>>10552817
>whenever anyone says they're an "underachiever" it just means they're really an idiot but have some how deluded themselves into believing they're not

As the resident old fuck on the board, I can confirm that a lot of my dumb friends are convinced they are secretly geniuses who were just (1) too good for school, (2) fucked by "the system," or (3) otherwise a victim of circumstance. Most of them still work in manual labor positions in their mid-20s.

Incidentally, this is a good way to tell which girls you should avoid like the plague: any girl who wants "intelligent conversation" is a girl whose life isn't very intelligent in the first place.

no job my brother won the lottery like 2 years ago ive been living off that. it's pretty great

Unemployed and leeching the system for ~$2K/month while secretely studying for my last exam instead of searching for jobs.

Have ~$45k saved up as of now that I'll use to get my own apartment once I'm done with school and get a job again.

The fuck did you expect when you decided that photography would be a good idea?

>>10554964
How'd you save up that much?

>>10554977
Dad decided to give me the money for child support instead of to my mother when I turned 13-14, so I started saving early (around ~$120/month).

Then summer jobs and regular jobs while studying at the university and some minor investments (bought and sold money).

I've been bleeding a lot of money these past two years though. And if our currency would be as strong as it was two years ago I would have ~$70-75k now...

>>10554684

I knew this response would come up. I'm not saying I am some hidden genius or anything (hence I said above average instead of highly intelligent) or that "the man" hindered me, or that I'm some kind of victim.
I am aware that I made poor choices in life. I take responsibility on some level for where I am today (I say on some level because there is part of me that for some reason just couldn't focus my intelligence on something)
During secondary school I was in those "fast track" classes where all the above average students would attend and was on a good path.
I can't quite pin point where I made these bad decisions, my teenage 14-18 year old years are a bit of a blur tbh. But I know for certain I should be in a much better position in life than where I am now with the rest of the common wage slave people

Grocery store bagger. About to get an A.S. in IT. I was supposed to be getting one in Computer Science, but my school isn't that great, and just recently started offering the degree, the final courses I need to take to get it aren't even developed yet.

I just hope I can find somewhere technology-oriented to work that isn't minimum wage before I transfer to another school for a B.S. I don't even need to be making a ton at the end of all this, I just want to be able to live.

I just don't think this is too plausible. I mean, it's possible for some, but it is hard to maintain that you are intelligent if you aren't participating in intelligent activities (unless you are totally delusional.) I'd imagine these people believe they are clever because they spend some time doing clever people stuff, and have clever people interests, and hang out with clever friends (you) - their perceptions don't appear out of thin air. And , you know, according to research, it just isn't very likely that dumb people have clever people interests. If you like fairly serious philosophy, 'fashion' and so on, good bet is that you are reasonably clever despite a shit career. This goes espcially for the 4chan demographic, who are fucked in their other qualities (e.g. aspie, narcissistic, introverted, low social skills, low energy and so on)

People can typically judge their level of intelligence fairly well once above average (though EVERYONE thinks that they are above average.)

Skype ID? You have a webcam right?

Physicist at a large FFRDC lab. I work with high power laser systems and build new types of lasers. I get to wear pretty much whatever I want as long as it isn't full slacker-core. But nobody sees me b/c I spend most of my time alone in a lab with the lights off aligning experiments. And I can't wear any watches/jewelry b/c it's a dumb thing to have shiny shit all over you in a laser lab.

Also about 10% of my time is spent wearing a full bunny suit in a massive clean room.

The job is badass though. I get paid to work with lasers and basically play with really expensive legos. Pic related. I spend hours a day building experiments and shooting lasers all over the place.
