I'm a tax lawyer, specialising in a niche area of employment tax. People who have met me in real life always seem surprised by this. Apparently I act far less seriously than they expect a tax lawyer to act.
Edit: I'm willing to bet I will win the award for most boring sounding job ...though I really do love employment tax... Edited by Draiglas - 18 Feb 2021 at 1:54pm |

College professor, Electrical Engineering. Post tenure. I love my job! ihavenoprocess, I may have missed it in the thread, but it wasn't in the opening post - just curious (if you don't mind sharing) what is your job?

Unfortunately, I am unemployed. I went to University in 2014 as a
non-traditional student. I’m still there. Luckily and thankfully, my institution
awarded me a scholarship to continue my studies from masters to PhD level, just
eighteen months or thereabouts left before my doctorate. I hoped to visit UB as
a visiting scholar in 2019-20. I now expect this to happen in 2022 (touch
wood). Would I like a job? Of course, however, times are
tough for everyone. I’m glad I have the opportunity and funds to continue my
studies. Otherwise, it would not be possible. My youngest son is eighteen
tomorrow and I’m tutoring him for his Leaving Cert year because of you know
what. Also, creative writing is a welcome break from the
more academic writing. |

Yeah, I will agree, it is really interesting! I came here after working in a doctor's office for 10 years, so it was a major switch for me. Just look for something like oysters (blue, white, yellow, king), shiitake, or lions mane, and you should be all set! I'm not sure the rules on advertising, but I can shoot you a PM with some suggestions (not me, just for the record, but we work with tons of farms who do the kit thing!).

Middle school English teacher here (this year I'm 100% distance learning, which has not been fun).
 I also teach US History (not my favorite) and our Creative Writing elective. I don't know what they're going to do with the Creative Writing class when I retire next year, since I'm the only teacher with the credential to teach it.

I have a Telecommunications degree, but took a promotion after graduation instead of doing the dream-pursuing thing. I'm now a training supervisor for a QSR franchise. I design and coordinate hiring and training practices and oversee roughly 500 employees, and do one-on-one coaching with incoming management trainees. Worked my up from one of those "burger-flipping" teenagers all those years ago. :P

I'm also an English teacher - though I teach high school. I'm also 100% online, which I'm grateful for, though I expect high school students are easier to work with online than younger grades. This year it's sophomores and seniors and I can't get them all books and I cannot WAIT for this ding-dang pandemic to end.

I own and operate a fast-casual restaurant. We do melt-style sandwiches, soup, and mac n cheese. So even though we were officially in lock-down, we've been open and working the whole year. I feel grateful that we are still thriving.
I want to give a shout-out to all the teachers on here who have had to pivot and teach remotely or in a hybrid form. We still have two home (out of 8!) in high school and it has been pretty rough. So THANK YOU!!

I almost based my pol-sat on virology 101, set in Grover's Mill, but thought better of it. On the whole probably a wise choice.
