I'm an airline pilot for a regional airline. I love my job. I make decent money. I could make quite a bit more money if I moved on to a major airline, but I'm really senior at my company and get a good schedule.
It's all about being happy with what you do and where you are, good for you. There is a LOT to be said about a company that makes you happy enough to stay. Sometimes the grass isn't greener on the other side. Good work schedule is worth its weight in gold. You are the definition of success.

On a serious note though. I'd advice anyone in their early twenties to teach ESL in SEA for a year or so. It's an incredibly eye-opening experience for any westerner. Women tend to fucking hate it, and men to love it... for reasons I cannot begin to fathom.

Came close to going to South Korea to teach in my early 20s...Didn't go through with it at the end...Kind of wish I did, but its nothing I strongly regret. My gf taught there for 2 years, she said it was quite eye opening, especially since she's brown (she's a 'coloured' South African).

Oh yeah mate. I've got a black friend from NYC who was told at the beginning of quite a few interviews that "sorry, you're black. The kids will be scared of you" that shit hurt her feels badly. On a side-note Asian kids are not scared of black people, nor are most of their parents. School administrators tend to be a conservative lot with a lot of preconceived unchallenged notions.

A female cousin of mine taught ESL in Thailand for a few years and, other than some bad floods, had a great experience.

Everyone's different which is why I am not sure I am the right guy to give advice. When I came to Thailand I didn't have any idea I'd become an English teacher. Shit, I had 5 million baht to burn didn't start teaching full time until after 2 years. I have survived 6 months on 10 baht a day and the occasional weed deal. My experience isn't the norm I reckon.

No, you are definitely a unique individual. Gotta say that I enjoy the fuck out of your contributions on here, though. I was a crazy fucker when I was young, but you are on a completely different level.

I blame white people ;) Seriously though, a lot of people I came up around are doing hard time or are dead. Which is why I consider it weird when someone accuses me of lying.

I don't doubt it. I can relate, too. I don't have enough fingers and toes to list off the people I grew up with that are dead, in prison, or have fried their brains on all manner of garbage.

Assuming the statute of limitations is expired:tonguewink:, can you tell the story of where the 5 million baht came from? I just converted it and that's damn near $150k in yankee bucks

Why are female SL interpreters fucking insane?

Thank you, I'll take the answer off-air.

I relate to Galt so well. My life has been a shit show until I separated myself from the people who made it that way.

Being abused for being ginger brings us together more.

What do you do for a living?

What are your prospects or isn't there any?

Does it pay well?

Is it something you are lucky enough to enjoy or do you have to stick with it now (responsibilities etc)?
I own and run two companies that operate in the healthcare/pharmaceutical industry - a media/marketing agency, and a sampling company.
I'm self employed, so no real prospects in terms of further career progression - unless I go back to working for someone else.
My accountant ensures that my "pay" is minimal.
I love the field I work in, especially since the business does not follow "traditional" methods of doing things.

You might want to rethink California for porn. The buisness is moving out due to the manditory condom requirement. Good luck.
I got a car from van Nuys. Someone told me they make lots of porno therr

I flirt with nurses and stare at penis and vagina for a living.
My salary is pretty low/average but I make really good money overall.
There's only one person above me in my company and he's already expressed his interest in eventually selling the company to me and a co-worker.
I'm happy with what I do but I'm never really happy with anything and always want more so that's a tricky question.

I never got how condoms aren't mandatory for porn full stop. That or test and shoot on the same day.

You get tested clean on Monday, sleep with someone not tested on Tuesday, shoot on Wednesday. Anything can happen between testing and shooting.

Apart from being a professional story teller I also am a mechanic / technician (my job title sometimes varies)

I fix stuff.

Pay is good. Work is pretty chill for the most part and I get all the bells and whistles benefits wise. Progression is there down the line, although a different job wouldn't necessarily mean an increase in pay, by that I mean in 5 years time I expect I would just get my yearly increase each year and wouldn't expect a bump if I changed roles
The correct term is "grease monkey"
