I work as a dueling piano player at Pete's and this was an extremely difficult job to train for. Fewer than 500 people in the world can do what I do effectively. Now that I know what I'm doing, the job is super easy and fun. Low stress, easy hours, and pays 3x more than what I would be willing to work for. But for the first two years of learning this gig I felt like I was going to throw up right before I got on stage.
A job like this takes infinitely more skill and dedication than any job in any finance-related field.
Hospital Phone Operator - I'd say 2 based on your description. You need to have basic computer and people skills. It's a fun job depending on what hours your shift typically is.
I had to youtube dueling piano. That ish looks difficult, especially if you're taking requests. I thought dueling means that you do piano battle with someone else and try to outplay the other dude.
Love Pete's. As a frequent customer (and even more frequent song requester), allow me to say you're welcome. But in all seriousness, I'm always in awe of how talented you all are.
I rate my job a 3. Not very hard, but we have gone through at least 6 people who didn't make it in my department. Hardest part is the hours. I work close to 70 hours a week.
So true. My skills are decent but only the superior players that know me will let me jump in. I have great respect for that job dude.
It's probably pretty easy to do my job poorly (0/5), but quite difficult to do it well (5/5). The problem is that there's no difference in pay either way and most people that are good at it just end up with more work and responsibility without any additional compensation. I don't know that there's a way around this, sadly, so many people take the easy route, which is quite unfortunate.
No but I play piano and can sometimes convince guys to let me sit in to promote my shows on the road, or just jam with piano players I know.
Good to see you have the arrogant part of being a doctor down. You are full of **** when you say "not many have the brain capacity" to be a doctor, but it does take a lot of dedication.
LOL way to overrate yourself. I used to work for the biggest EPC company on the planet and believe me, unless you're one of the honest to goodness "experts", you're not higher than a 3 or 4. 5/5 is reserved for the truly skilled and irreplacable: things like heart/brain surgeons, top pro athletes, navy seals, etc. The repetitive and comparatively low stress tasks associated with engineering don't even compare to jobs like that. Sorry.
