Currently I work in the box office of a theater (honestly the easiest thing I've ever done.) I'm working to get certified as a personal trainer, and starting in fall I plan to go to UNC majoring in exercise science. I'd really like to be a strength + conditioning coach for a high school football and or wrestling team. I also use to manage a retail store (Gamestop) until i realized what a terrible company it was not only from an employee standpoint but from a customer standpoint.

Just a heads up for all the POLS majors. Networking is 100X more important with political jobs than almost every other profession and then experience second. Also be aware that you will be working VERY long hours and likely 7 days a week. You will also be moving around often in your life, like state to state, often living in "supporter housing" Your first job will likely be about 24K a year. Also, intern in college and if you can't, make sure to attend (or have a position) in college dems/repub. It's always helpful to volunteer during the major political cycles too. Lastly, do not BS your positions and voting record. I can easily look up every time you voted since it's public record, but targeting and modeling has become so great that I can basically tell so much about it. This includes your likelihood to volunteer. It will help with your first job.

I'm not trying to push people out of the field, I just wish more people told me these things before. It's one of those jobs that you will love sometimes and hate too.

DarkstarI also use to manage a retail store (Gamestop) until i realized what a terrible company it was not only from an employee standpoint but from a customer standpoint.

Every once in a while, I enjoy going into a Gamestop. I'll ask the employee if he's ever played like.. Dragon Slayer Champion 2. They will always respond with "yeah man that's one of my favorite games too!"

Then you leave knowing that the person is an idiot.

Prior to this job, I worked in healthcare. Never do that. Ever.
how does one get a job at twitch, jobs at google, twitch, facebook etc have always felt like something that you can't get, you just envy people that have gotten it.

As for how to get a job here, google, facebook etc.. Code. Lots of code.

Just to add on this, since it's something my Brazilian friends ask about a lot: send your god damn resume. It's not your job to decide whether you match exactly the requirements for the spot. If you think you're good at it and feel like it's something you'll enjoy doing, give it a try.

Also: if you want to work as a developer for the ~cool companies~, find their open-source projects and contribute. It shows that you know what you're doing, and even if you don't get hired later it's an amazing way to learn about development in real life.

octopi is the plural of one species of octopus

octopuses is the plural when there are multiple species involved.
