    I work in a no kill shelter. We have 30+ dogs on any given day. We turn away owner surrenders for dogs because we’re so full. We have enough space for cat surrenders, but we charge a fee to take them. It’s the only way we can stay no kill

      The sad reality of it too is we don't want to support kill shelters but by not adopting from one, that's another animal that might get out down and it just makes me sick to think about that

    I fostered for a no-kill shelter and a regular shelter. From my experience, this means that the no-kill shelter is privately owned and they only have to take the animals they want to take whereas the kill shelter has to take every animal brought to them hence why they have to put some down, and trust me they do not want to.
    I tend to get the feeling that no-kill shelters like to tout themselves in a way that causes people to misconstrue the premise, leading people to only want to adopt from them and makes them think of kill shelters as a bad place and then they don’t want to support the kill shelters. This is just my vibe and impression I get so it could be totally wrong or just my experience.

    Video game development is definitely nowhere near as fun as most video game players imagine. It can still be incredibly fun and fulfilling if you enjoy that kind of work, but it has virtually nothing to do with playing games. Plus it gets a lot less fun when you hit a seemingly simple bug and it ends up taking multiple 8-hour days to fix it, which happens a lot...

    From what I know, "no kill" most often designates shelters that don't euthanize due to overcapacity, but will in cases of animals that can't be rehabilitated or are suffering with a low quality of life.

    I worked before returning to school at a no-kill shelter for almost 10 years, and we only put animals down if they are past medical care or their behavior is so bad it is a risk to public safety, and the animal can not be rehabilitated. The shelter I worked at is part of a network of other no-kill shelters in our state where a cat, kitten, dog, or puppy is with us for 6 months and is not adopted. Then we transfer them to another no-kill shelter, and those shelters can transfer their animals to us. It is pretty cool. The best part is when the animal gets adopted into a good, loving home (please adopt, don't shop)

    I can confirm as an Extra in a few TV shows & films. All of what’s stated is entirely true.
    Your typically the first ones their & last to leave.
    It’s literally a hurry up & wait type of job.
    Sitting in a small room or warehouse for hours on end for often times minutes of potential screen time.
    Being a stand in or body double is waaay better!
    Stand ins are treated like crew, and body doubles are treated like principle cast! (Main actors) you get VIP treatment! I had people follow me holding an umbrella over my head everywhere I went.

    I'm going to just say it, being a soldier is way more than what most people think. Most of the time you are exhausted, hungery, and in some pain. You "hurry up and wait" all the time. And the worst part comes afterwards, dealimg with the VA after the military.
    But it's also very rewarding, you make friends that you can trust with your life, and while in, a free workout club.

    Video game tester would be so tedious. You need to attempt to think of every possible scenario that players will come up wirh and then you need to try out every single thing you came up with. Also testing out boss fights and levels to see if they are even possible to beat as they currently are set up. I definitely could see someone trying to say beat a boss for hours and hours only to then find out that it was never possible to win the fight at all. That'd be really frustrating

    Youth worker: Generally people would be right about how hard it is so I'm not talking about that stuff. But if you only heard about my best shifts... Oh boy you're in for a shock.
    Sometimes I was just monitoring their activities, rules obeyed, they behaved etc. Sometimes you got to take part too if it was something that required at least two and the child was on their own. And on the candy store during the quieter school break shifts and there was alot of Nickelodeon being watched. Sidenote: That was within reason, too quiet and it was a lot of back and forth between that and other stuff going in.
    But you also had alot of cleaning (ever tried sweeping stepped on hard candy off carpets?), trying to find toys, sports/ art equipment in needle in a hackstack looking I'll maintained storerooms, "why doesn't this work?", and yeah one particularly bad time can make the stuff that was usually as fun as you'd think no fun at all.
    But it was still the best job I had, the kids were great and were surprisingly easier to work with as teenagers (two age groups, 8-12, 13-21 (later 13-18, special needs were still that and originally 18-25.)) Yeah first time with the older kids was a culture shock with how well behaved and respectful they were by comparison to their younger counterparts and expectations. And it was 2015 when my time there ended so most of them are adults now and I have seen a few as a adults in pubs (oh boy nothing will prepare you for that) or out and about and their response definitely said I didn't screw it up too much.

      TL:DR: Youth Worker. Essentially every kind of expectation you have is correct. Both how hard it is and how much fun it can also be. It's also tedious and one bad shift moment could make the actually fun stuff not fun morale wise. Still the best job I ever had though.

    Overnight gas station attendant.
    Even if safety policies require two workers to be there, they are usually so tight on hours that you’re working by yourself from 11pm-5am.
    Beer rushes at 1:55am have had me running two registers just to keep the line from circling the store. Oh and then those people that make it your fault when they stride in at 2:06am and you’ve locked down the beer cave.
    You see all kinds of things when you’re the only one awake. And it will screw up your sleep cycle for years after you leave. If you don’t leave after being robbed at gunpoint, you’ll probably leave addicted to stimulants and cynicism.

And i dont know about others, but i only get minimum wage, im not paid enough to have to listen to that. The store i work at, i also double as security and have to try and prevent theft. Not fun.

    In regards to the no-kill shelters, multiple shelters in Knoxville Tennessee have been criticized for advertising as no-kill when they do in fact kill on the premises. They got away with saying it because technically it is a true claim, they use a third party company that comes in and carries out euthanasia.
    I found this out because I adopted my cat from a shelter here and saw on her intake forms that she was due for euthanasia literally the next day if she had not been adopted. She was born in the shelter and was set to die in the shelter.

    The other thing about peds nurses is that hospitals are where sick and injured people are. And abused or naglected kids are likely to become sick or get injured. So its a combo of people dont like to think about child abuse so they don't realise how common it is, and the job makes the nurses more likely to come actoss it than someone working at a grocery store would.

    From my experience, no kill is not no kill. It's less than a percentage kill due to non medical reasons. Puppy mill dogs that have behavior issues are often put down under medical too.
    We adopted a dog from an event as her no kill shelter was in a small city where there was no traffic for adoption. If this adoption event didn't work, she'd have been moved to a partner shelter with a lot of traffic that would have been considered, "high kill." So of course I got her before she was transfered. She was 6 or 7 so considered a senior dog. She lived to 15, dying March 1 2020 at 3 pm. I miss you everyday Daisy. If love could have saved you, you'd have lived forever.

    There's no such thing as an animal shelter that never euthanizes animals.
    "No Kill" just means that a shelter doesn't euthanize animals simply to reduce overcrowding.
    There's always going to be animals brought in that have to be put down because of medical or behavioral issues as well as the court mandated ones mentioned in the video.

    Any of those new little "experience" places slash "musuem" places that never know if they wanna be aimed at kids and families, people in their 20s, or influencers. Usually the people who run these smaller joints are trust fund babies way too over their head that want to make these $50 a person places the next Disney or something (while paying employees only slightly above min wage). The employees are treated like shit, and forced to smile all day, and because a lot of these places hire from outside hiring companies (making it extremely hard for any idea of a union to form) and there's no shortage of managers to remind you that the state you work in is an at will state whenever you're treated like shit by them or a customer, it's easy to get burnt out and sick of the job quickly, as well as deal with some pretty nasty conditions. This is, of course, while having to smile and deal with screaming children, their parents, and wanna be influencers. And sometimes..all three of those overlap.
    Most people are only there because it pays slightly better and is a bit more "fun" compared to food service or retail (two services that say nobody wants to work when right now no places are hiring), or searching everywhere for a job that will let you do office work despite lack of "experience", which yes, is a lot harder than you'd think.
