How many people come to you with an issue so simple it can be solved with the most basic solutions?
(i.e. Turning it off, and back on, or replacing the battery / sim card, or just changing an option in āsettingsā)
70% in that respect.

I manage teams that perform secondary-market portfolio analysis.
Basically - I clean up after adult children as they fail to capture data and assess risk accurately.

I am a high-paid consultant and poor dad. What I earn during the day, I lose when I come home.
Anyway, the high-paid part is just a joke. The consultant and poor dad are not.

I am a creative director of a fashion company in London! We are a supplier of fashion witch means we design for many brands.
Witch means I have to know what you are going to want to wear over a year in advance. Pictures, mood boards, fabrics and colours.
Basically if you have ever seen the devil wears Prada Iām her lol

We design / sell / manufacture commercial garments for the whole high street. So everything from All saints / Top shop / zara down to the super market and value need / wallmart / sainsbury / primark. (Plus like 30 more 
)
I see people wearing our stuff all the time and itās usually featured in GQ etc. It can be funny to tell someone that they are āwearing my shirtā not I donāt have itā¦ the shirtā¦ itās my design 
Upside and down side is that Iām on around 
50 planes a year to checking manufacture in / India / turkey / Pakistan / China but I also get to so all the trade shows and so competition shopping in / London / LA / New York / Seoul / Tokyo / Berlin / Paris / Amsterdam / Italy etc (plus more)
Itās a silly job, I donāt save any lives yet people take it very seriously. You can never turn off because fashion moves fast.
Lots of shoulder rubbing with investors that rely on us to set the direction.
Underneath all of that Iām a HUGE gaming and obviously KI GEEK witch is the polar opposite of me at work.
Great thread 
Nowā¦

So far I havenāt had a lot of issues with any truck drivers being that bad. The worst issue I tend to have with them is there are several that come through that are Indian (turbans & everything) and there is sometimes a bit of a language barrier.
Aside from that the biggest issue Iāve had with anything is dealing with trying to call management back in the plant late at night. Itās nearly impossible. 2 separate occasions in particular come to mind, one was when one of the supervisorsā mother was dying and her family was trying to get ahold of her, and the other was when a lady came to get her husband because their daughter was in labor and was a high-risk pregnancy because she was diabetic and they needed him to drive them to a specialty hospital. When sh** like that goes down they need to have someone at the phone to pick up.

After I finished High School, I was a Teacherās Assistant for the Summer Quarter. It paid well. The heat was no joke but the experience of being on the other side of the desk was refreshing. It was a shame when I had to leave the position as the job itself came to a close with the end of the program I was aiding to teach.
As for school, Iām starting my second quarter this fall for a degree in Computer Science!

Do you replace āWhichā with āWitchā on purpose?
Iāve been working as a game tester for the last year or so. The pay can be better, the job could be a little les repetitive but its alright. Not sure if I can mention which company I work for though.

Yes, me too but not like 50. Letās just say I fly āa lotā. I am still not used to flying though, itās really tiring on your body. Also, the endless waiting affects oneās mind too.
Btw, youāre in the world and profession I always wanted to work in mysel at one point in time. Beautiful models and faces, and cute designers, different from letās say a fantasy world where the designers are named Kim Wu.

FOR REAL!
flying kills you. its more physical than people think ands really hard wearing! Im not a huge fan of it. YES im very very lucky ive almost seen the whole world and ive been paid for it BUT i dont love it.
Hhaha @BoJima404 never too late to get into fashion! just to warn you those cute faces hide MANY sides! you have to be Killer rank or ABOVE to last in this industry! 11 years and counting but i cant do this for ever! its way to intense, im tired of my own voice 
Kim Wu is a design student (so it would seems)ā¦ Trust me shes the type of girl who will never work in this industry lol. No one who dresses like that knows what fashion is lol. We had many like her at my UNI. The type that just likes to be different but ends up just being ugly

I fly a lot too. I do science and technical capacity building related to agriculture, food safety and environmental risk assessment. Itās not substantially different than consulting, although Iām not a consultant. In practice this involves reading and writing papers and then talking to and presenting/lecturing to large numbers of people over and over again. Probably not 50 flights a year but close to it and long ones (12 hours+). It really takes a toll on you physically and mentally to spend so much time on planes. It often takes me a week to revive from the jet lag and the low grade infections and then Iām back on another plane.

Last time I went to school was in votech. It was a great plains tech center I Went there for four years. One was for graphics class, the other was for game design and 3D animation.
(I was a student form 2007-2011) and on that same year, I took a job as an intern at this place called CGI. I loved working there but didnāt have a degree to stay. So now Iām currently in college trying to get that degree.

This is the part people donāt understand. My wife is a teacher and Iām hugely popular at the staff parties:
" where have you been lately"
āI spent last week in Kenyaā
āOoh Kenya! Thatās so exciting! Did you see any lions or elephants?ā
āNo I didnāt see any ā ā ā ā ā ā ā elephants. I saw the airport, the back of a half dozen cabs, a hotel room and two conference halls because I was working and not on safari. Then I came home to see my family instead of taking a few days to see the sights because Iām away from home 100 nights a year as it is and I miss my kids more than I want to see a god ā ā ā ā lion.ā
āWell, I guess there was a fake elephant in the hotel lobby.ā
