people jobs. lotsa humility in that.I had the rough and tumble life.got to go on an all expenses paid vacation offered by north Carolina,right at 4 years.drug offense.
You so do not play fair ~ somewhat like iTunes.
I actually have one main job and 2 part time ~ I work with the developmentally disabled in the family support ~ I deal mainly with single moms that have lost their children, or will lose them or should lose them.
I also work with JSO ~ Juvenile Sex Offenders ~
And ~ I am our company Janitor! I clean my own office.
they put me in a program, trained me as a motivational speaker for youth and families.I did it for 2 years still locked up,then went on to do volunteer work for the system upon release for about 4 more til the program shut down. it's great offering hope,asking nothing in return,and showing someone the path.
whats the old saying?A moral compass can only point you in the right direction, it cannot make you go there.i felt like a Moor scholar,who were also some of the greatest warriors and astrologers.
now,I sell construction and hurricane products for a small but honest company.integrity means alot to this old junkie for A change.
done construction my whole life,the physical side was kickin my but up to my shoulders.

May I recommend that you do not tell people that they are orphans now, like the hospital chaplain told my Sis and I when my father past away in 2009! I'm sure your not like that but it did kind of hit home today because it's my Dads Birthday today! Sorry to be a downer!

Pretty well so far! I'm not tied to a specialized assembly table like the last time. I'm sent to any department that's overloaded to help with workflow. I can be doing assembly one day, metal work during the afternoon, finishing the next day, upholstery, basic lighting wiring, packing & shipping, etc.
I'm happier this way, it takes boredom out completely.

I fix small children and break computers.... Wait I got that backwards. I fix computers and break small children. 
.... That was a joke. I really do like working with the kids. It's why I also work on a grant funded after school program as well.
I work as sudo-IT support staff at a grade school. It's sudo because the district level is still figuring out what to do with "lab techs". We fill whatever tech role needs filling, from first responder IT to EdTech. That and they dont want to have to pay for real on site IT when they can get suckers like me to do the job for considerably less *sigh*, a good chunk of the work and very little of the admin access. At least it's a job inside a climate controlled building am I right?
Little kids using big laptops makes for funny and aggravating times. To date I've had one student throwup on a computer, many removed keys (finger picking good), two 3x5 name cards stuffed into slot loading DVD drives (hey they fit so they must go there right?), eraser bits stuffed into headphone ports (I... I have trouble grasping how it was rammed in there like gunpowder in a cannon)....
Ya. Thank goodness it's all MacBooks. I don't think I could keep up with both the hardware and software failure rates of Windows based machines (not to mention the virus counts), and what the kids get into. Didn't take them long to figure out how to invert the screen colors or mess with the contrast.

Kids aren't they a pain. We have an IT manager and an assistant in our Secondary School in UK and teenagers are even worse. Un fortunately they go further than that and hack into everything, everything is blocked on the Internet, no YouTube access(banned). Need I go on. You are right, I expect their pay about the same as yours. Love for the job though!
