Hey LTT forums, I'm curious and have three questions for you-

 

What do you do for a living?

What advice do you have for someone getting into that field?

 

What's your favorite part of your job?

I'll start-

  1. I'm a fry cook and dish washer (only 17 y/o)
  2. It's a decent job, just make sure you work with good people like I do or the job will be shit.
  3. The people I work with, their fucking hilarious.

Now you go!

I'm a full-time high school student and over the summer I "work" (aka volunteer) as a junior counselor at a summer camp.

Pro Tip: don't use flash when taking pictures of your build; use a longer exposure instead. Prop up your camera with something (preferably a tripod) if necessary.

if you use retarded/autistic/etc to mean stupid please gtfo

Working and going to school is pretty stressful, I go to school thirty hours a week, do some after school activities, do home work, do chores at home, and work twenty hours. It sucks but it makes me appreciate all the time I have to gaming and doing PC stuff way more.

Also I make money so I can buy computer shit.

1. I do private website coding (basic shit that most people can't do themselves: HTML, CSS, a pattering of jQuery and JavaScript, lately getting a little into Python thanks to my computer science club). I make website templates so small businesses can more easily create a website.

 

2. It's pretty OK. I don't work often (still in school), but when I do it pays quite a bit. Just make sure your basic coding knowledge is solid. 

 

3. It's a good job because I get paid a lot when I actually have a client, I also don't have to deal with idiots 24/7.

3. Working with an amazing team.

Thanks for responding Linus! We all love how hard you work and I appreciate all that you've taught me! It's because of you I'm going to school to study Electrical Engineer.

Painfully hard? I'd like to see some elaboration there. At least compared with manual labor and food services. I used to work in a Domino's that was at least 115 degrees F during the summer.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

I'm a visual effects artist. Up till last week I was working on NatGeo/Discovery shows that did reenactments of events, plane crashes and stuff.  I got laid off on Friday however and as of yesterday I now work as a much, much larger company doing 2D to 3D conversion of major motion pictures.  In short, I'll now have access to bottomless spoilers about major films, and if I speak one public word about them before the films release, I'll be sued into poverty and blacklisted from the industry. :D

Everything is relative. I don't doubt his job is extremely mentally laborious at all.
