    I’m sorry, you count “selling furniture” or “making cheese” as normal jobs? Call me sheltered but I’ve gone over 30 years on this planet and never met anyone who’s done either lol.

      You’re sheltered. You’ve never been to a furniture store, or any department store with furniture? Nor been to a market with vendor reps, one being cheese?

      I mean, I thought I was sheltered, but I’ve been to Macy’s, consignment stores, and Goodwill. And just the other day I was at a holiday market where one of the stalls was a cheese company.

        I’ve actually worked in shops when I was younger, ones that sold furniture and cheese, which for someone as sheltered as me was shocking - took me about two days to recover!

        Jokes aside, I totally understand these jobs exist but what I meant was that the OP picked some weird jobs to support their backwards ass point.
