What is your profession?
-
Work in a jail as a co. It's alright but pretty shitty at times. Pays decent and I can live a good life outside of work.

So… more like a butcher?

Architectural lighting designer. I love it and hate it. Love the complexity and endless learning about science and tech, and how to apply it creatively. Hate the contractors who put forward alternates and mess up the entire design intent only to pocket the difference.
Currently studying to change careers to be a game dev as a generalist for indie games.

Software/solutions consultant, and union actor.
I mean I was. I mean I am. I dunno. 20 years in I.T. starting from programming to a 'senior tech consultant'. But was then made redundant. Didn't get a job straight away. Started working at my girlfriend's bar as a bartender & server.
That was over a year ago. 60+ applications for jobs in I.T.; zero interviews. WTF.
I'm trying to work out why & what to fix, but for now? I'm a server & actor.
I'm reading and tinkering with technologies but not nearly enough. And will have to explain the gap in employment.
It's getting harder to resist the urge to panic and break down.

Yup

That's the thing though! I'm specifying well priced lighting that has good support from the supplier, warranties that last 10 years, good colour temperature and degradation rates etc. And the alternatives are nowhere near the same quality and have a dodgy warranty! I'll put the alternatives through it they're truly like for like, but it never is.

Wait, what?!
