4. Sorry, I can't stop laughing

A job that improves my self-confidence/sense of self/etc? What ARE those? I don't know MEN who have those, and most of my friends have Prestigious Jobs at a Very Well Known Company.

When I was working, I mostly had jobs that provided a paycheck. The last one provided medical and other bennies, made my life a living hell and permanently crippled me. That was a Union job. A Union desk job.

For a brief shining moment, I did work I loved and was very good at. It was stressful as hell and I had some awful jobs, but I fucking loved what I did. Who I am, though, has never been predicated on my job title. Maybe because I've never had a "career" - just jobs.
