Apparently the opposite of a purchasing manager is a slaughterer and meat packer.

I'm going to have to go with no on this one.

Roc I hate to break it to you but I also got model and our jobs have nothing to do with each other. Or at least the closest I could come up with to my job. My job wasn't even on there. I get that the failing New York Times is failing but im not sure they need to be buzzfeed

I work in government which has decent benefits but pays shit so I work as a wildlife and natural resources consultant on the side. Mostly I collect data needed for energy permitting.

That looks like a conflict of interest, but the government work I do is not related to the consulting I do. It's a delicate dance that I have been questioned about a lot. I tell the state "Hey, pay me and I won't have to do this other shit." But that ain't happening.

I suppose "trunk strength" is important if you're an elephant working at the circus.

Most government jobs pay worth shit. I hope they give in eventually , but since it's the government I doubt that will happen.

I put in my job, and it said the opposite job was physicist (which seems non-opposite because the number 1 skill for my job according to the thing was number facility, which is number 3 for physicists). Out of curiosity, I put in physicist to see if it's opposite would come back as my job. It came back as model.

So yeah, it works.
