Skinny khaki's do that for everyone, it's just the cut of the pant. Lifts the ass up too, usually accentuated by a flashy belt or something. I used to have a weird thing for this + those big buckle Tory Burch flats and the neurotic women that wore them. It's a facade; they're just lazy and lack brand sense.

Make sure you find a place in a good area, otherwise, you're going to get shit pay and even worse hours...it's great for experience, but you should definitely aim for bigger aspirations such as gas/meth lab clean up (pays A LOT but super dangerous) or opening your own crime scene clean up and making bank. As for being uncomfortable, all I can say is even having previous experience cleaning up my father's suicide, the first few months were hard. You don't deal with the bodies but you do have to deal with the families a lot of times; you work long hours (sometimes with no air conditioning), and you need to be able to lift 100lbs since you're going to be lifting bed frames/carrying mattresses down stairwells and taking apart flooring that blood seeped underneath.

Nowadays I can work pretty much anything and not get phased unless it's a child death, those never really get any easier.

The only effay jobs in this thread so far. To me theres 4 broad types of effay work:

1. Doing something science-y that you're passionate about

2. Making big money in a corporate office job wearing suit and tie

3. doing artistry you're proud, whether you make a lot or not.

4. Being a G-man and doing government work

Things that aren't effay:

- Retail Work

- restaurant work

- office drone for low pay or secretary

- Teachers (unless university prof with PhD)

- Cooks

- Academia is touch and go. Used to be cool but now academia is often for people that couldnt find a real job with their bachelors

factory work, janitorial work, construction stuff like that isn't terrible because most people don't give a shit how you dress at those jobs and usually the work is stable and the pay is half decent.

Yes, cause science is actually interesting work that the average person off the street cannot do. And I've never had a crush on a barista. That implies you spend large lengths of time at starbucks, which confirms my suspicion that you're basic af.

I'm sorry you only made it that far.

I hate to break it you both, but being broke after the age of 25 is no longer acceptable. People will legitimately pity you if you're 30 something and still working at mcdonalds.

You do make a fair point on the fact that people might think less of you, if you're working a dead end job at 30+. I get where you're coming from and I do agree with it, but I think that your definition for a fashionable job is still vague.

>Jobs that make money and that other people are impressed by ARE fashionable. The idea that low paid, menial work is somehow "cool" is utterly retarded.

I feel like you're seeing a "fashionable" job only through one style. Don't you think that any menial work can't have an aesthetic in them? After all fashion is a way of expressing an aesthetic or an idea. I'm not saying that menial work is cool, but I'm saying that any job can have a style in it. It just requires the right person for it. The job won't make it intriguing, it's up to the person to pull it off.

>>13364791
I think we're seeing the term "menial" in different ways. I have a friend who refinishes antique wooden motor boats as his job (chris-crafts and the like). I have a girl-friend that runs her own cafe in town. These people both work with their hands and their jobs fulfill them and give them a sense of purpose. However the difference between these people and someone who works at a barista at starbucks vs someone who runs their own coffee shops (even if it doesn't make much money) is that the person running their own shop gets fulfillment from their work, sees their hard work build their business, and betters themselves over time. If you just go into work everyday, work a job you hate, then go home and watch TV, you're living to work, not working to live.

Anyways, I think I see your point and I can appreciate it.

Teacher anon here. I dont nessecarily hate teaching or any of the bureaucracy. Sure its a shitshow, but I expect everything to be so its par for the course. I just dislike how much I get paid for what I do. Long fucking hours and right now I am dealing with a rowdy bunch of students. As a first year teacher though my bosses pretty much ignore me because I keep them in their place. (Took over another teacher that had stopped actually teaching a month before they left because they hated the students). I have this weird bunch of fuck-up regular classes and honors (classes of doctors to be). High school girls are tiny little hitlers. They're either crying, angry at you, wont shut up, or trying to fuck you. There is literally no middleground. At least with guys you can laugh and have a good time.

You don't know anything about what I do for a living, but your mind goes straight to being broke after the age of 25. I mean, I'm sure you tie your self worth to being better than the "average" person, but it's not a good look.

Most of my colleagues don't give a damn about fashion bc they are either too dorky or bc it's generally looked down upon in the world of military research (military types tend to hate individuality and anything that isn't done purely for utility). Even for formal meetings most people wear shitty department store suits that desperately need tailoring and scuffed up slip-on shoes. Theres a few fuck boys in my research group who think "im the fashionable guy" bc they had a gq subscription back in 2010 and wear quirky colorful socks that they constantly show off by crossing their legs in meetings.

Also I spend most of my time in a clean room lab wearing a bunny suit so fashion is wasted

The service industry is the kind of work that fucking blows if you are on the lower end dealing with shitters that live off of welfare, but as soon as you get to the classier places you won't really find randoms working 12h a day at minimum wage just barely making ends meet.

Project Manager/Sign Manufacturer

I'm a solid 60/40 on if I get to be /fa/ or not. Most days I just wear beat up jeans and a flannel shirt bc I will be working in the shop or outside digging holes/installing signs. Days where I'm on my computer or visiting clients I will dress up. Most all my clients know me very well so I can dress more adventurously than be stuck to business casual (also it helps make me look like the "art kid")

The actual signs I make are often extremely un/fa/. I usually do strickly boring/utility wayfinding signage, which is good bc I have no actual artistic skills.

I make some clothing/accessories on the side, but it's all very tongue in cheek

>Inb4 what is your definition of effay
I generally attribute tremendous success in one's own domain as being effay, because let's be honest, those people are generally very unique and intriguing. I know the question can be interpreted as "which job gives you the most opportunity to wear something effay" which is not what I am going for. I am talking about effay jobs.

I share the general opinion of >>13363635, that generally the better paying job it is, the more /fa/ it becomes, as it weeds out the number of people doing that job, which makes it more unique. However, I don't think all people doing jobs mentioned by >>13363635 are unique. There are just a higher percentage of people who are effay in their jobs.

For example, an accountant working for EY wageslaving to death is not effay, but another who does his job easily, is liked by boss and peers, gets promoted and is humble is incredibly effay, because of his uniqueness.

Scientists are effay only if they are working on some ideas of their own, and not working on some weak ass projects of a professor.

Government workers are only /fa/ when there is bribe going on and he/she has actual power. Otherwise it is not /fa/.

Artists are /fa/ if you can scam a lot of money for expositions in the center of new york by drawing circles with menstruation blood or something.

Yes what they are doing are generally morally wrong, but they have found a hole in the system they are playing, and are respected and successful in their own fields, which makes them unique and their job effay. It is generally harder to find uniqueness in service work, as there are a lot of barista who are connoisseur in tea/coffee/beer idc, so it makes it makes harder to find a person who really excels. Of course if he knows recipes from all around the world, traveled around the world to study them, won competitions and such, then it is extremely effay, because it makes them unique.

The most effay job however, is having his own company and working for himself (and actually making money, at least enough to survive). Even if you are minimum wage, you still found an opportunity in the market and exploit it to make a living for your own, which is unique to every company. That is the most effay job you can have. You might say "all those tech companies sound the same", but the actually successful ones, which are the one making money and profit, all have their own unique stories about how they found out the need for their niche product, and how they built their stuff from ground up. That is the peak of effayness.
