Ex military officer and airline pilot. Not anymore because both require yearly medical checks. They don't really appreciate mental health issues.
I'm unemployed now. I couldn't work most of 2019 because I had inhouse treatment for 9 months. It's unlikely I'll ever get back to work because I plan on CTB within the next six months.
If I change my mind, I'd love to become a psychiatric nurse.

I'm a lawyer and a dentist.
Do you practice dental law?
Absolutely. But not legal dentistry. Hence my angst.
(I recall one study in which nurses followed a doctor's instructions even if they broke legal protocols.*)

*See? I told y'all I was a lawyer

Just to clear things up for folks who gave wow reacts to my saying I was a lawyer and a dentist, all of the above quotes are examples of my deadpan humor. I didn't use emojis to clarify I was joking. I just realized folks were taking me seriously because in another thread, @LMFAO FOCKERS mentioned I would possibly have financial resources since I had been a lawyer. Nope.

I wasn't punking y'all, I thought all those wow reacts were people playing along, especially since we have no laugh react here.

I'm intelligent and educated, I know fallacies of logic and I like to debate, but I've never been a lawyer. My argument style is based on my academic background, not a law background. And my lifelong aversion to flossing indicates I'm no dentist, either.

Hugs to those who feel punked. My bad!

Yeah I knew you got it. It was fun to come up with legal dentistry in response. Oh, the angst! :)

My first thought was, "What methods do you test? And how do you rate them for reliability?"

(Hope my humor didn't offend!)

I've been a cleaner - was ok, security guard - easy but boring, not really a job but for a while i was a low level/skill fraudster - i never ripped any person off but still wasn't the best thing to do, doorman - fun as i was always high on mdma (I needed to get high to be able to do the job) and I met lots of new people but it was occasionally unpleasant, factory worker - just about ok but led to a better job within the same company, gym receptionist - good as i had free use of the gym 24/7.

My main occupation and most recent one's were in IT where i did IT support and software development which i enjoyed. I've been unemployed for years now due to schizophrenia but since 2017 have been in remission. I started a distance learning software development BSc in 2019 with the hope of increasing my chances of eventually finding work but i'm not that confident i will after being unemployed for so long.

Painting and decorating, industrial cleaning, factory work, construction and site labouring. Anything that had as little interaction with strangers possible due to not being smart enough to work from home and I didn't mind a bit of graft.
not really a job but for a while i was a low level/skill fraudster - i never ripped any person off but still wasn't the best thing to do,
What exactly is a low level fraudster that doesn't involve ripping individuals off?

Credit cards, credit for in-store items, dud cheques, bank loans. You could say the businesses profits were harmed, it was all big banks. Not the proudest times of my life.

You're only messing up your own financial future credit file then...
unless it involves using identity theft in which case one shouldn't be proud, quite the opposite, but if it's all in your name not hurting anyone.

Thank you for sharing. Very interesting, though a bit misleading as men are more likely to complete an attempt, but it is not known whether more men or women attempt suicide (or it's not addressed in this data set).

Also couldn't help but notice the patriarchal influence in that men were addressed before women throughout the article. Nursing is dominated by females, who are in a hierarchical field in which doctors, a profession dominated by males, have superiority. (I recall one study in which nurses followed a doctor's instructions even if they broke legal protocols.*)

*See? I told y'all I was a lawyer

True. Also, I've noticed that there are some national variations. A common theme seems to be that the occupations with the highest suicide frequencies don't require higher education.

As for myself, I'm a teacher. Curiously, I've noticed that there are quite a few teachers here, although most of them keep it to themselves, even though it's supposedly a low-risk occupation.

No I never did any identity theft, even back then during my wreckless years I would have never done that. I messed up my own credit record and once that was messed up I changed minor details about myself so i could get around my bad credit, so although I wasn't using someone else's details I wasn't actually using mine either.

I eventually got arrested and bailed, I then paid back literally every penny I had while i was on bail which was multiple 1000s to the banks. For whatever reason when i answered bail they never charged me and just gave me a caution, may be the banks/police seen I had tried to make amends and that I had no previous. Getting arrested and locked up scared me and that was the end of my fraud days, about 24 years ago now.

I do janitorial work in a hospital full-time. It's a very stressful job and I am around sick people all the time. The money is nice because I am making more than I ever have at any other job, but it's a struggle for me to cope with lots of stress, so it's hard to say how long I will be doing it. I'm kind of thinking that I could use the extra income to stash away some money for my family to help them out, so that they can pay for a funeral if I decide to ctb within the next 5 years.
