How 'metal' is your job?

[Kigalas]

State your primary job and rate it on a scale of 1-10. The less 'pure' the better.
Example: 1=I teach Kindergarten 10=I am in a metal band

Me? My main job is putting death dates on tombstones out in the cemetery. I'd say that's a 9. What about you?

[Pwnz0r3d]

Packaging Pizza:
10: i listen to metal while doing it, so its uber metal.

[Baanu_Rass]

On Monday I was carrying metal beams around. Where does that rank?

[neckermanncj]

i hate metal so i could care less if my job is metal at all

[afterstasis]

10 - i sit around in my boxers, recording music and drinking a lot.

[Cubecubed]

7-i work in a liquor store.

[Kigalas]

Manual labor is definitely a 6+. Did you impale anyone? If yes, then a 10.

Sales clerk at FYE is my main job, I give that a 10/10

I'm also in a hard rock/metal/prog band, I give that 100/10

[DethTung]

7.8- I do freelance political journalism and write sci-fi/fantasy fiction.

[ffwarrior47]

I'm in a metal band.

[RockBandRocker]

I don't have a job!

That's as metal as it can get!!

[FloodOne]

I handle raw steel at my new/old job. I would say that's about an 8.

[war_lord]

Probably about a 5, since I deal drugs... but only if the patient has a prescription. It does lose some points for being at a grocery store though.

Go pharmacy! :)

My former job was considerably more metal: testing out new drugs on lab rats while rocking on my MP3 player. Listening to metal music just made it feel more mean (but more fun). That one would have at least an 8.

What do I rank if I work with a lawnmower?

[LORDJUJU]

10
I own a music gear shop and write, record and perform with two bands (one metal and one not so metal).

[Der_Lex]

Translating isn't very metal in itself, but I do listen to metal a lot while doing it. That and I did subtitle a documentary about Rammstein once, so I give myself a 7.

[Wrathy]

Elements of Wrathy's job

Customer relations - 1/10 (being friendly? not metal at all. Unless you're 45 or older)
Stocking shelves - 6/10 (esp. when you're facing stuff out - which is moving from the back to the front so it looks like you've put things in, but haven't changed anything... That's lazy and half assed. Totally metal.)
Getting ice cream for people - 8/10 (Ice Cream is metal, if you don't think so you're probably just jealous that I can give ice cream to people)
Killing cardboard boxes - 10/10 (who cares if you're crushing them for recycling purposes? you're still crushing stuff. METALLLLLL)
Working on a till (honestly) - 2/10 (I'm not messing with prices, and I have to be nice, and I don't steal the money. About as metal as Radiohead.)

Overall score - 27/50. I call it "6".

[Mega-Tallica]

I completely forgot to mention that I'm also an assistant guitar technician at SamAsh. I love that job, and I think it's pretty metal since I work on guitar all day. 10/10

Storm Chasing. I think it's pretty metal. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHoQsqgjbm8)

Im an international watch salesman and watch repairman. Battery acid hurts.

I design reactors.....and no I don't listen to metal or anything for that matter at work. I'm required to communicate with other people.

[CloudWolf]

0/10

I'm too lazy to search for a job, which probably means I would score high on a 'punk-meter' :p

[Cpt. Overkill]

I sit in my mother's store and make sure people don't steal things.

10/10. I like to think I'm pretty hardcore.

[DeadPhoenix223]

I mow grass as a summer job... not very metal, IMO.

[ThatAuthoringGroup]

I write comic books, and work as a purchaser for a music store chain.

I get to pick which new lines of guitars, amps, speakers, and drums that our stores are going to carry.

You decide how metal that is ;)

[killer_roach]

I do IT work for online education... that's pretty low, although it does give me ample time to listen to metal.

The most metal part: Being able to tell figures of authority, to their face, that they're going to need to reconsider how they do things.

Probably a 4/10.

i do this too although its more like a -2

I teach military people. It's slightly more metal than teaching kindergarten kids, but not much. So I'll give it a 1.5. :D

[absolutzero]

.NET programmer with on and off tinnitis.

[AKALink]

I run around in a cow suit advertising and entertaining people. I get to listen to what ever I want to in it.

[ShadowChaosControl]

10-but its not a full-time thing, my friends just do it for fun

[kingtonyx]

I DJ and run karaoke, sometimes it's metal.

I mostly play punk, classic rock, and indie though.

Anywhere from a 5 to a 10, depending on the day!

I guess being a Disney Imagineer is pretty un-metal, especially since (and this was kind of a recent crippling realization for me) I work for the same organization that's responsible for Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers.

On the other hand, my job involves a lot of robots, so that's kind of metal. I'm also in a metal band, but we're terrible and we only have three songs right now so I don't think it counts.

I'm just a student, but I'm known as one of the bigger "metalheads" even though I don't look like one (nor do I call myself one)

[Onslaught_fei]

I make sure the internet works for hundreds of thousands of people in an internet data hub. One time the entire east coast went down because of a mistake a co-worker of mine made. I give my job an 11 because Im the only person in a skyscraper, wearing no shows, playing xbox, and listening to metal on my 12 hour shifts as loud as I want. I also perform system administration for 86 buisnesses, one of which is a raw steel company.

[rowtheboat]

I'm not old enough to have a job

[Cpt. Overkill]

I'm babysitting right now. ****in' hardcore.

I sit around all day waiting for school to start. I listen to metal while doing it, so I assume that would be around the 8/10 region.

Thanks-- I had no idea my career would be so popular! (I guess that makes it even *less* metal now, though, doesn't it? :D )

Indeed it is less metal, but I still want it. Wanna drop in a good word for me and a copy of my resume? ;)

[gmarsh]

Don't ever ask me about my business...*says in Italian voice*



Woah, you know what would be a metal job? Dress up as a Chicken Mcnugget, outside of Mcdonalds. And Beat up anyone who makes fun of you.

[JackBNimble]

I work with explosives ,Drills, and helicopters in the mountains.Where would I be rated?

[defenestrater]

I work in a warehouse for a furniture store chain. I build furniture (some of which is made of metal), tear old furniture apart, and move stuff around all day. Sometimes I listen to metal on the radio at work. I guess manual labor that actually involves metal and metal music, and sometimes involves breaking stuff has to be worth at least a 6 or a 7. Right?

[macamatic]

Getting ice cream for people - 8/10 (Ice Cream is metal, if you don't think so you're probably just jealous that I can give ice cream to people)
I work at Cold Stone. Do I get a 10?inb4onlyifyougivemefreeicecream

I hate Cold Stone. So many better ice cream parlors.

[Tank9088]

I hate Cold Stone. So many better ice cream parlors.

I prefer independent ice cream places better than any chain. All we have on Long Island is Carvel and Baskin-Robbins.

You. I love you. Being a Disney Imaginear has been my dream job for my entire life. Literally. I dream of designing rides for Disney. I got all these great concepts and ideas. Its just kind of hard designing them since Im not a great artist.

I got a question though. Ive been taking like architectual classes in school, is that a good idea for one wanting to be an imaginear or atleast desing rides? What else should I take? Art classes or what? Im better at computer design than hand design though. I want to be an imginear. Always have. Love Disney. Grew up on it.

They can be a lot of fun. I had them "help" me build a deck this weekend. You should have seen their little eyes light up when I handed them a hammer and asked them to help. That deck has 5 rows of very measured out lines of nails, and a bunch of random ones scattered all about.

The linear ones are from the kids. ;)

Pictures below. Oh, and that's my in-law's house, and yes, it's a dump. Regardless...this my friends, is metal. :)

[bermuddy]

it makes it more metal. you essentially get to play for a living.
