I am completely useless/clumsy on a practical level (believe me, I’ve tried…) and am not a fan of the outdoors. Any ideas for proper jobs I can do in this utilitopia?
My new boss said to me the other week: if I was a magician and wave a wand that would let you do any job you wanted, what would it be? They then asked me to think of a more practical job. What sort of useless wizard was this?
Idk, a friend of mine is a carpenter and she seems to be doing ok. Bespoke fitted cupboards and what not.
Probably be a crane operator
Also, carpenters don’t make furniture.
Burglar
i’d make a fucking great blacksmith. would LOVE to do that for a living.
Stock broker
apparently thatched roof people make a total killing since there’s so few folk that do it nowadays
Electrician or a panel beater. Lots of my mates from home are electricians and they’re paid well for what appears to be really interesting work. My Dad was a panel beater for years and I used to love helping him out on jobs.
you imagine doing it in the rain though. that’d be well shit.
guys, let’s all make a pact to go out and get proper jobs! starting… now! on my way to tell my boss to go to hell, will look forward to all your similar stories when i get back.
I’d like to be a farmer - think you should define the usefulness / ‘properness’ of a job based on it’s practical application in the collapse of society. Making bespoke walnut bidets is great now but who would want them when there’s no infrastructure and status is defined by how many canned goods you own?
SOme do! You’re not the boss of them!

My answer to this would definitely be “Pizza and Beer Pairer”
boy, i sure showed him! how are you all getting on?
I’m now a plumber
You have a good beard for it
never heard it called that before.
I’d like to maintain an important national trust house and garden my whole life and then die. Whichever jobs needed doing I wouldn’t be too fussed.
