I was in the US Navy after HS - job was fun, pay sucked
I sold cars after getting out of the Navy, very fun job, again pay sucked
I was an aviation electronics tech for a couple of places while in college, fun job, pay sucked
Now I am an avionics systems engineer designing aircraft navigation systems and cockpit displays, job is sort of fun, pay is decent but it could be better

I see a common theme in there.

My worst job was at a turkey processing plant. It was some boring, repetitive shit. Not gross where I worked (trimming almost fully processed breasts). But there was a job, no bs, called the semen sucker. And another one where the just killed turkeys came in hanging by the neck and a guy sitting in a rubber gown on a milk crate stuck a hose in the turkeys ass and gave it an enema to wash all the shit out. Which of course drained onto his lap. LOL

marina poop boat duty for the yachts. Quit that job a week in. I thought I was going to be a deck hand that helps boats dock and fills them with gas when they come in when I took the job, they lied.

A little.

I just remembered my worst job. I knew I had something worse than setting up targets.

I worked for a company that called the people in the phone book to verify the information was still correct (name, address, etc.).

I quit in 2 hours!

LMAO...they pay people to do that??

Wow

My wife was stuck with a project at a previous job where she had to call their customers (primarily Hong Kong natives) to ask them what gender they were. Nobody had collected the info originally, suddenly it was important, and no one could tell from the names.

I had a job once where we called woman between the ages of 25 and 35 to have them take a survey about what songs they like to listen to. All the people we called were in London and they were all way too busy to talk to us, so it was rather silly.

We did have a few fun calls....Mrs. Old was by far the best one to call. She was friggin hilarious. She once told me she didn't have a bed to sell me.
