waitingman1.Besides work, what takes up the biggest portion of your day?
Other than sleep? Various daily housework stuff, playing, pandering to & feeding the cat, leisure time with Long-Suffering Partner, doomscrolling...
2. If you could do anything as a career, what would it be?
I'm quite happy with my 'career' as such, but I'd be more fulfilled if I could be recognised or acknowledged for my 2 favourite activities - playing music & photography
3. Do you feel too much emphasis is placed on having a career?
Speaking as someone whose full Curriculum Vitae would run to many pages if I listed every job I've had... Yes!! I certainly think that when you're young, too much emphasis is placed on getting 'settled' into a job, career path, marriage, kids, mortgage, self-funded retirement & death from exhaustion
4. If you have a college/university degree, are you working in your field?
No... I think I studied the wrong things at University... but I've never gone back to do anything else
5. What would be the most boring job to have and why?
Sometimes, I think I'd LOVE a boring job with no public contact, no distraction & no pressure on performance... but I'm not so sure a job like that even exists. Of the many jobs I've had over the years, I can say that being a Bank clerk/teller was mind-numbingly dull... & completely thankless
