College dining hall dish room.

Some days aren't bad, some days suck, the pays nice, some cool people there. Overall I like it. Not something I want to do for the rest of my life though.

I do lust for those investment banking jobs, however...

In my case it's more the owner and managers that irk me. I dont really do much, wander around the store it's just the people higher on the totem pole who think they are better than me cuz I am a student

I started working at Starbucks last week.

Though still learning, I think I'll enjoy the job. However, I now know why many people complain about working with the general public. As an example, today someone complained to my manager about the fact that I carry a small Bible in my back pocket. How is carrying a personal belonging in my pocket offensive? :|

With that said, I'm going to seminary to eventually become a pastor.

Sounds like this person was staring at your bum bum, but then became angry when they saw a bible and remembered that all Catholics believe homosexuals go to hell. This then caused the angered customer to complain about you. Poor guy, I feel his pain :(

I don't work currently. I did make software on embedded systems for home medical appliances. I didn't like it. The work itself was fine, but there was a lot of cross department fighting, and since I was the intern, I got caught right in the middle of it.

I make beer for a living, I am a brewer. And no, the job isnt as fun as you think. Its better than you think haha.

No, seriously...its a tough job. And its not all sitting around drinking beer, either. Truth be told, I generally dont drink at all at work. Maybe an ounce or two here and there strictly for quality control purposes, but I dont walk around with pint in hand. I think that would be disrespectful, and worse for my health than I really need.

Its a lot of cleaning, and we are so small I pretty much have to do everything from make the beer to working the tasting room to sweeping and mopping the floors.

But its extremely rewarding making such a good product (and it is good, I am a very good brewer lol) and sharing it with people. I love seeing the joy in their faces, its one of the reasons why I think beer is genuinely divine

The thing is I actually graduated faster than the vast majority of my friends. I did well enough in high school to initially get enough scholarships and graduated from my university before they ran out.

The thing is I didn't even have to look, they just seem to have appeared out of no where... Keeping a 3.0 GPA throughout college was the only thing I was required to do to maintain the scholarships aside from filling out a few forms every year.

When I think of private sector I think of mercenary work. Now, I know that image is based off of television and video games, so I ask: what do you mean by private sector, and how would it be different?
