Lower Tier Jobs

While I'm nostalgic for several of the jobs I did in high school and college, I remember hating them all and understanding why I was working hard in college.

Groundskeeper on a golf course might be decent.  Cab driver doesn't sound bad, but I know I could never tolerate driving for 10-12 hours a day.  In the old days, maybe bicycle messenger in NY.   Anything overly repetetive, anything menial I go insane.  Although farming is something I might enjoy (I'd just probably suck at it).

After long consideration, I think the winner is: gym teacher.

This would have been a perfect thread for sleeper to derail.

I miss him. He made me laugh.

He got mad....really mad lol

He gone.

No real jobs that I can think of, but I know this...

I left my last job that was stable, easy and i was surrounded by great people for a lot more money.....and it is an absolute shit show every day.  Looking back, these lower tier jobs are probably less money, but a happier life.

I just started working (summer job) in a wholesale warehouse.  Absolutely zero headaches when I leave the job.  Show up, walk about 20k steps, pick orders, go home.  Pay is shit ($10), but it keeps me off my ass.

don't you have a little farm? That should keep you off your ass. 

My wife decided to keep getting animals, so I stopped taking care of them.  Dick move, but I finally said "enough is enough."  I still do the heavy stuff, but I don't clean their shit, feed them, take them out, etc.  I no longer participate in the day-to-day.  We have:

• 2 horses
• 2 ponies (pasture 100% of time)
• 2 dogs
• 10 (TEN) fucking cats (no mice, though)
• 5 chickens
• 2 stupid fucking goats (market)
• 2 parakeets (inside)

The goats were the straw that broke the camels back.

It's out of our hands. He isn't banned, he just left.

Yeah, he got extremely butthurt and asked ironman to delete his account.  At first I thought he was 100% trolling (did a complete 180 on everything he stood for), but it became obvious he was another victim of Trump breaking somebody's brain. 

Bouncer in a bar. Free booze, backstage passes to major concerts and the scenery was usually pretty good

This brings the lulz.  Not b/c I look down on it... just picturing you doing it.  Just for fun?  Extra bucks?  You ever deliver to your work clientele? If so, do they fuck with you?

4 hours a week= $1000 in cash from january to late march.  I dont make anything, I dont clean anything, I dont answer phones.  All I do is drive.  Its the easiest money I have ever made.

Next summer I am going to get a job at Rose Music center in Huber Heights.......they have 31 shows this summer.  You get to see some cool stuff and get paid for it

Damn 

Always said if I came into a lot of money I would tell our local park I would donate XX amount per year on one condition.....

That I get to work daily on the baseball field. I wouldn't wan to get paid, but would want two park workers to be assigned to assisting me in working on that field.

In HS I worked at the park, doing baseball for kids and working on baseball diamonds and loved it!

Lower tier job I would also do.....guess lawn work for the neighborhood.   Bought a new house and one neighbor let their place go big time so  I go over there and mow it every couple of weeks because it looks like trash.   I am doing a lot of upgrades to the place I bought and want to make it look as great as possible to shame him into how bad he keeps his place!

Sorry to hear about the demise of your camels.
