RE: SPARTANS! WHAT IS YOUR PROFESSION?! - Govedo13 - 03-27-2014
1. Fake medical papers/Weed/stolen Stuff seller in school. After 1 of my best friends went to Jail and the other entered metadon program trying to clean himself decided to bail out.
2. Country change-student international economics
3. Student jobs-snow cleaner,Interpreter/ long list a lot of shitty Mc type jobs that kept me alive and with enough money for rent.
4. Marketing trainee in nuclear industry.
5. Diploma-full time job in marketing department same place.
6. Middle management position as strategic marketing advisor with team with 4 monkeys to lead in the same big nuclear firm. Still not full 6 figure number as annual salary but close. I sold the same stuff that exploded at Fukushima and that we call it "safe".
Nowadays NPP is "safe" from air-strike/airplane crash only by putting the main reactor building in bunker while we just double the vital auxiliary systems on the two sides of the main building and hoping that if something hit it it wont hit on both sides. This thing safes only like 130-150 M € ( saved only because the two auxiliary system buildings are civil engineered/built instead nuclear engineered/built ) per Newbuild reactor and even half idiot can blast it.
Working there I felt like the guy from this video:

7. Last 2 months- Country change after going out of 10 year long relationship ( girls love money/nice apartment/545i more)
Note that she is Senior Project Manager in IT firm-not a poor girl. But 60 hours per week+ 400 € per pair shoes and 28 days per year free time to fool around Carribic and Thailand> Me staying and home and enjoying life while doing something meaningful. In the corporate zombie type PoV I am crazy as it seems.
8.Currently self-employed- making a living not so successfully by trading on the stock market.
I am quite bored and fed up with the life based on fixed salary income and some crappy bonuses while the state eats you alive taxing you in order to pay the lazy people that prefer beer and TV instead working. In the last 5 years I paid more taxes then I could earn in my home country if I work for average salary 30 years.
I am trying to develop my own ideas and push my own start-up or fail miserably when I totally burn my saved money and going back to the employee hamster wheel live. If I does not spend much I have like 3+ years before the money run out. Huge motivator was "Small is Beautiful" by E. F. Schumacher.
I am investing a lot of time reading about sustainable economics and would try to do something in this direction. I have several business plans and 3-4 main ideas+pivots for now.

Worked in the fishing industry for 11 years after I left Secondary School. Worked my way up to Factory Manager doing that. Then I landed this sweet job as an Electrical Wholesaler. It's pretty sweet, well compared to what I was doing anyway.
