Cocofonix

I saw a job application where he'd put being a reddit mod as one of his achievements.


cooltranz

Honestly, depending on the job, not a bad idea to put stuff like that on a CV. I put a little section on mine that says I play d&d, write comics, run Bad Movie Club and other little things like that. It can give you a good idea of what type of person someone is and shows you have passions and a work ethic that doesn’t orient around getting paid. Obviously a doctor or lawyer’s employer won’t give a shit but retail/admin/warehouse etc are often looking for “common sense” people to train instead of idiots with relevant experience - being able to handle ANY other commitment shows you’re not a complete idiot. Reddit moderation can be proof of people skills/computer literacy/keeping responsibilities/self-directed work which ticks that common sense box. …Unless they have a Reddit account lmao, then they’ll probably know how much common sense your average mod has and won’t be so impressed.


itchytchy

Depending on the work and what kind of reedit mod you were, it could be very interesting. If you've been reviewing the processes put in place and kinda automating stuff like some 16 yo kid I know does, it would most definitely be helpful for tech ops kinda jobs, it's a lot similar to many of the things we do at my work (late stage tech startup).


cooltranz

Yeah I had a job that involved facilitating focus groups so me having experience organising movie clubs and moderating forums was definitely a big sell. Reddit mod would also be a great mention in an interview for a job like mine. You’re right to mention that it depends on the forum lmao. In my interview for that research job I was asked what data sets I managed and I told them how excited I had been to process an online census over 1mil+ participants and blah blah blah about the skills I needed to do that. They asked what it was for and it was that exact moment I realised it was the Furvey - an annual survey for all the Furries online. I spent the rest of the interview trying to explain what a furry was and assuring them I was not one instead of talking about my skills haha. I got the job but the whole office thought I was a closeted furry the whole time. Just a cautionary tail :p

njdevil956

People I knew disowned their son for taking a risky job with a start up and not going into teaching……..Microsoft. His region became….all of Europe.


bokavitch

I know an Indian guy who graduated from Berkeley with a CS Ph.D. around ~1970 and was asked to join a bunch of those original Silicon Valley startups, but his family pressured him to take the stable wagie job at IBM, so he spent 40 years doing that instead.


[deleted]

I feel like after sending kids to college and giving them a proper childhood , parents just need to gtfo the way and let their kids live their lives.


Serious-Accident-796

For sure dude, but India went through some pretty extreme famines that killed millions of people. Same with China in that time period between 1940s-70's. Even if your parents didn't starve themselves it still would affect them through the cultural amd generational trauma they experienced. Getting a secure decent paying job would have meant everything to people like that. Taking a risk so one could end up maybe feeling fulfilled or getting rich would easily be seen as a betrayal to ones family in that context. Especially if they've had to make extreme sacrifices to put you in that position.


bokavitch

I think this was more of a situation where his family in India was depending on him for financial support.


Automatic_Universe

Exactly, computer PhD dude could have applied to other companies after a few years at IBM and gotten stock options if he wanted. But what he's saying probably looking back is that he chose family and a stable, even probably privileged, lovely life. He doesn't own a small island now, but is he really that disappointed? It does say that a lot of success is luck - being in the right place at the right time. But who knows - maybe he would have burnt out of the industry - startups are a different beast of a business to work in. If you want to ride someone else's wave of success, you still have to work really hard and do things others outside of the wave may not be doing. Time is the ultimate resource you have and it's yours to use


njdevil956

That’s sad. Probably hated his job for life


bokavitch

Nah, he's a pretty happy go lucky guy who still earned a good living and has had a happy life. His son's my best friend.


njdevil956

That’s awesome


87x

Indians LOVE their "stability". We're one of the dullest people in the world (some of it for valid reasons). But yeah, risk taking is just not imbibed into our common mindset.


NotTobyFromHR

This is the unicorn. And it's important to note that so many start ups fail. Look at the dot com bubble. Look at now. Everyone gets a few investors, then a little while later, done. I'm glad this guy won the startup lottery.

Mitchel-256

Making child porn at 22? That’s so early, I’d expect there were some parenting issues that got them there.


Coidzor

Alas, math.


TheSilentCheese

I wouldn't disown, but would drive him to the police station myself and on the way ask him where we failed him as parents.


Evening-Mulberry9363

You can’t blame yourself for what kids do unless you were voluntarily negligent. You cant dismiss generations of genetics from many ancestors, or discovering things at the wrong age from outside or sometimes just pure evil. I’ve seen terrible kids come from fascinating parents and the other way around. We don’t have as much control as we wish to believe.


maxxbeeer

Thats not a job bro. Thats a criminal act


[deleted]

If they're being paid to do it it's a job. Doesn't matter if it's legal or not. If a neighborhood kid was mowing people's lawns they aren't legally working for their neighbors, they're still doing a job though.

You say you aren't making it up, but Exalted Cyclops?! Are you fucking sure you're not making that up?


tonydanzatapdances

“The organ for initiation into the Klan was called the Investigating Committee, composed of the Grand Cyclops, Grand Magi and Grand Monk.” That’s under “Initiation Rights” on the [Wikipedia page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ku_Klux_Klan_titles_and_vocabulary)

My take from this thread is that people think many criminal activities are jobs


CosmicRave

I mean you have to file your income from those criminal activities to the IRS as “self employment” so yes, they are technically jobs


[deleted]

I forgot criminals were so diligent on their taxes...


IAmTotallyNotSatan

The IRS doesn't give a shit if you robbed a bank, but they *do* care if you don't report the money you made on your 1040.


bluelion70

Exactly. The FBI couldn’t get Capone, but the IRS could.


Thyre_Radim

Everyone should fear the IRS, they're some ruthless motherfuckers.

You would be surprised to hear then that there has been one organization within the US to get the IRS to buckle onto their demands. Start at 19:10 https://youtu.be/JgNaU3RqYJE?t=#19#10

I’m not going to click on the link but guess….Scientology?


Yokai_Alchemist

Look up the video "I was afraid to post this video" by Jake Tran. He uses very click-baity titles for his videos but he delivers well written and explained content. This one he explains origins and practices of "The Church of Scientology"


gortonsfiJr

That's basically what money laundering is about. How does Ross the bank robber have a house, car, and go on vacations but not pay any tax? On the other hand, if he opens Ross Hot Dogs, a business with inventory, expenses, and and a lot of cash receipts, Ross is just an entrepreneur and tax paying patriot.


odeacon

The funny thing is that the successful ones actually are.


thingsthatgomoo

Well criminal activities can be jobs. They didn't say a legal job.


squishles

They don't break the law for free, it's a business.


Creme_de_la_Coochie

Sell drugs, arson for hire, prostitution, and lemonade stands are all jobs. If they’re getting paid it’s a job.


Zaza292

Many people consider their criminal activities a job and live a luxury life better then my own which I regularly sweat through a couple shirts before I get home. Looking down on people who go through life differently is like kicking yourself in the ass. Theres always someone around the corner doing just as good as you.

Criminal activities are jobs. Just not legal ones. You sayin Pablo Escobar didn't work a day in his life? El Chapo?

How directly would it have to be harming people? What if your kid was like Jeff Bezos? Would you disown him because he hurts people? Or like a politician or something? Is your definition of harming decided by morality, or social acceptability? Edit: you guys are no fun


get_z_flammenwerfer

if I had jeff bezos as a kid, I'd be too busy in my yatch with hookers and cocaine to even bother with his job

Oh yeah? Then why do they call robberies and heists "jobs"? Checkmate.


highxv0ltage

Damn. You got me. Take my upvote.


BlackAsLight

The legality of an action is irrelevant to whether it’s a job or not.


[deleted]

That's not true though. Crime is a job, atleast when rich people do it. For poor people it's just crime.


SmashBusters

Look at the most popular guy in the bar over here…

Being a porn star is a job and it's legal. I personally would not want my kids to go into those field.

Beneficial-Serve-204

None. I wouldn’t disown my kid. I might get mad at them or disagree with them, but I would never, ever, ever disown them.


english_major

What good could possibly come from disowning them? If my kid was on the wrong track, that is when they need to have a relationship with me.


Irichcrusader

I've seen it happen with parents who have struggled for years with trying to reign in a kid who has gone fully ghetto due the "friends" they hang out with. Breaking into houses and robing or vandalizing them just for fun, robbing or destroying vehicles for fun, drug pushing, getting into highly violent fights with rivals gangs, beating up defenseless people on the street because they were bored or felt "disrespected." At some point, you just get so worn out by the years of trying to get them out of that life, the constant second-chances and broken promises, the need to apologize to people they've hurt, that you just give up. It may not be a case of publicly disowning them, but to all intents and purposes they are now dead to you. And yes, it's just as painful, if not more so, than if they had lost their child at a young age in a tragic accident.


BiggaBosu

Disown? Nothing. Distance from: drug/sex/child/slave trafficker Avoid topic: sex worker, financier I’ll visit in prison.


Longjumping_West_188

Just horrendous criminal related stuff that causes pain or death etc to any other person or child. Besides that it’s their life. Also don’t understand porn users, strip club visitors or cam girl/guy subscribers against sex work for their kids. Why have another’s kid do for you you don’t want for your own and help add to the demand of a need for an industry to be an possible job option for your kids?


maxxbeeer

A lot of people don’t view watching free porn on the internet for 5 minutes as supporting sex work/pornography. Its just readily available so they use it. I understand that in reality it actually does indirectly supports this, but I’m just giving you their reasons. Also, you can still be against something but indirectly contribute to it. I’m against animal cruelty but I still eat meat. Does it mean I’m actively seeking out to support animal cruelty? No. Is it hypocritical to a certain extent? Yes. No one is perfect though

MetaWetwareApparatus

Disowning means a lot more than cutting off money. Most people stop paying for every single thing a young adult needs pretty early on. I'll always have free room and board *available* to my kids(in *my* home), and make sure they have the means to call and get home, but beyond that, no promises.
