Yes I've worked in service and it has sucked but seems like tending bar may be a bit different, most places I go the bartenders are laid back / not stressed (even if they're busy), just doing their thing grinding to make decent cash, and there must be social benefits.. IDK I feel like if I hit the lotto and wanted to work 10 hours a week it would be bar tending. As usual though my perspective is probably terribly flawed. Yooooooo ya'll are terrible, why do you use a 3rd party delivery company and deflect blame to them constantly when we're paying you for the product and a delivery fee? Shouldn't quality assurance be on you guys? Why do I have a literal ton of materials dropped off haphazardly with no accountability? Why is your employee turnover so bad? When you're with your girlfriend, does she pretend you work for Lowes? Why are all your cashiers either retiree-women or 18 year old girls? Each store is different and each one uses a different 3rd party delivery company. Honestly, most of the time the delivery company is to blame for a lot of it. I would say most of the time they won't either bring in an appliance, set it up correctly, etc.. The problem with anything after delivery is that after 48 hours everything on the appliance (unless you bought the extended warranty) is on the manufacturer. We really aren't supposed to do anything after that, it's like that at any store. Appliance issues are the biggest headache 100% at home depot. However, each case is different. The materials dropped off...that im not sure of. I haven't ran into that at my store. Turnover is great in my district, it's very low so again, each store is different lol. I love working for home depot, around here lowes has a very bad rep so it sounds like the opposite of your situation, my store has a really good reputation. and cashier's...now that's pretty accurate lol. I don't do any hiring of the cashiers however I would say a majority of our cashiers are women for sure, however we do have 3 male cashiers at my store. But again, each store is different and I love my job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Prince Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I use to work as store support for raymour and flanigan where I would be responsible for building the furniture for the showroom and making sure everything looked good. Switched over to CDI recently where I would open up everything that's going out for next days deliver and I hate it so much. Switching back over to my previous position.

As every job, gets repetitive though. Been in the casino industry for neary a decade now(almost 30 smh). I’m debating going back to school to be a Physician Assissant or Nurse Practitioner (basically same job, same salary, different title). They are in the Top 10 salaries in the country and in the Top 10 projected growth rate. Too late for me to go to school to be a doctor, PA/NP is basically half the school, six years vs twelve years and a PA/NP can do anything a doctor can do except some certain procedures and can have their own paitients in most states. Obv I know this forum has a wide age range, sure some of you are Students and some may even be retired. Perhaps we can all learn from one another in this thread. Perhaps state your career and advice for everyone who is going into that field. With some Pros and Cons as well. Have to friends that are card dealers.

Don’t know about other states but you can make a really good living in California or Nevada as a Card Dealer. I won’t make any comments about me specifically, but if you can get 5 days (getting 5 days in the casino industry is tough) most dealers will rake in about $5000 net in tips not including their minimum wage paycheck. Not bad for a job requiring no education and just extensive training. A lot of people think Bartending is the #1 tip based job but it doesn’t come close to Stripping (not that I’ve ever done this lmao) or Card Dealing. Most higher end attractive strippers in Vegas will clear 10,000-15,000 a month in tips easily and Card Dealers will clear 5,000 in California/Nevada.

Most Props I know make $20 an hour on top of playing with their own money. You will get picked up and moved around a lot though which could be hard learning your table and estbalishing a flow. As for a Poker Dealer, I personally deal Table Games and not much Poker but I know Poker Dealers getting thrown a few bucks every hand adds up quick and it’s a consistent $250 a day or so which is $5000 in tips alone on a 5 day work schedule.

We don't really do the prop player thing here. I know they are a thing in LA, but Im unsure of any here using them. Rooms like Bellagio, Wynn and Aria simply don't need them. Even a room like red Rock really doesn't. There are some smaller poker rooms around, such as Mandalay, but mgm properties have shown a propensity to just shut down the poker rooms (Luxor and Monte Carlo most recently) rather than try to build them. Poker is largely the least profitable Enterprise when it comes to games, so I don't think they much care, especially if it's not building traffic anyway. Poker dealers can vary quite a bit for sure. Higher stakes obviously see some nice tips, but if you get stuck dealing something like 2-4 limit, you're not going to break the bank. Omaha can be tricky too. So it can definitely depend on where you work. Personally, I like my job. I'm paid pretty well, I work from home, really good benefits, so no reason to change it up. If I ever lost my job, I'd likely move to poker full time for a while, but I like it much more in a part time setting. Plus, the lower play times make my graphs look amazing lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squire12 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Physical Therapist, work at a large University Hospital (teaching hospital, top level trauma center). Specialty has been sports rehabilitation and sports medicine for the last 15+ years. Have an emphasis in concussion rehab (would strongly recommend avoiding sustaining a concussion as much as possible) I see a lot of post surgical patients, ACL reconstruction, achilles tendon repair, Rotator Cuff Repair, Shoulder labral repair/stabilization procedures. Patients range in age from adolescent (8-10) up to 70+. Though that older age group is less sports medicine, but some of the Physicians that have been treating these patients or their kids, refer them to our clinic for continuity and consistency. Like a lot of things in the health care industry, the patient care aspect is what you want to do, dealing with the insurance and other regulatory ****/stuff is a huge drain and negative. Gotta take the bad with the good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
