I got modernized out of being a parttime worker at the library, when they switched from barcodes to RFID and they didn't need someone to scan the books anymore.
Which was kinda sad, because while that was boring, helping people find stuff was great. It's been nearly 20 years and I still can't stand an unalphabetised bookshelf, or one where the spines don't line up.
Nowadays, I'm a safety consultant, and I get to fire clients. The most fun one was when they copied my signature on a plan that I specifically told them was illegal. I found out when I got a letter saying I committed environmental crimes for agreeing to said plan.
Ohhh it's an "at first" take? Thats kinda not how the meme works. I know the whole story, but that would normally have one person smiling, the other not.
Oh yeah, they absolutely didn't have a future, but they were super useful in the 1920s and before. They didn't see that much use and investment because they were crappy at the time.
They weren't slow though. The Navy used them for scouting, very effectively during the early 20th century because they were actually quite fast. The big problem is that they travel through air, so going forward into the wind is a lot harder for them than for ships.
The Hindenburg, for example, flew at 125 kilometers per hour, but random scouting zeppelins in ww1 would consider 100kph a normal speed.
It's more that the Japanese worked against the Germans. Like the Japanese worked against the Italians. Like the Japanese army worked against the Japanese navy..
So, when I was in college I made a specific sort of (very very niche) video or audio, for pay. That's maybe 15-20 years ago.
It was actually pretty fun, but I never did anything in person, which probably helps. I'm (or was) not nearly as good looking as the women here, but I met the highly niche requirements and got paid pretty well.
Better than my parttime job in the library (no, that's not the niche).
