I'm a game design student and half of our assignment this semester is writing about working in the creative media industry and I'm supposed to write about my dream job, I can't force myself to write that I want to work. Other than writing some quirky 'I dOn't WAnt A TradItoNaL 9-5 :P' I can't really think how to academically say, fuck labour while still doing the assignment. Like it wants a five year plan, mate I hope capitialisms crumbled by then idk what to tell you. I can half bullshit some indie dev stuff but I'm struggling to write an introduction that doesnt make me sound like a bootlicker, any subtle or not so subtle hints appreciated

This is my first paying job and I already hated the idea of working to death to make somebody else rich. Disclaimer: I live outside of the US.

We don't have any auditing background and is only paid about USD$7 for it. It's not even enough to refuel the car. This is not stated in their contract either. This is not legal, isn't it?

I currently work as a cook for a Pennsylvanian restaurant chain called Primanti Bros. So, anyway, we close the kitchen at 11pm on weekdays and 12am on weekends. I come in at 4pm each day and generally work for around 8 hours. During that time I do not take a break save for smoke breaks every few hours or so, business permitting; i.e. I would not take a break during the dinner rush from, say, 5-7pm, etc., and I don’t even clock out to eat or anything. Yesterday it was around 10pm, business was slowing down, and I hadn’t had a smoke in three hours. I let my coworkers know that I would be stepping away from the line. I proceeded to quickly use the restroom, refill my water, and step outside to smoke. When I came back there were a few orders on the screen and the manager totally…
