The United States government pays me SSI. But I have been a janitor twice and a dishwasher once all on minimum wage five days a week only.
From whence I came and whence I went heaven said I was too evil and sent me to hell. Demons and devils succeeded in breaking my soul.

I'm an assistant to one of the managers in an office. the work is fine and pays quite well considering that I don't have my degree yet.

Babysitter.

Or as it's called these days, "College instructor".

Work in a call centre, setting up life insurance policies. Completely mind numbing work which I really need to do something about changing.

Never became cynical enough to refer to it as "baby sitting."

Heh, journey. Naa, you're right, k-12 is babysitting, but there are some courses (especially labs) where it is more like babysitting then actually teaching. Whenever I've taught freshmen, they're a pain in the ass. They still act like this is high school. The rest is just depressing, especially liberal arts/teaching majors. Whenever you get those majors, the ones who you're surprised they were able to graduate from 8th grade, you pray for the thousands of kids that they'll teach over the course of their careers.

Then again, the fact that you do a physics problem about energy use and claim it costs $5 billion in electricity to run a tv for a year doesn't exactly exclude someone from teaching 8 year olds how to color a map, so maybe it's not such a worry.

plus, I used to earn a small amount of cash from the bondage photography I did- but that has mostly faded away now.
