I can add to this:
-server at a restaurant crappy bosses, crappy work environment, many awful interactions with customers, terrible pay, 0 benefits
-full time auto body painter - hard work, mixing chemicals all day can be extremely dangerous to lungs, pay was low but I enjoyed it
-sales @ verizon decent pay, hostile regional manager, constant push to improve sales and sell more data plans(few years ago), quite stressful in general as the 2008 crash destroyed our sales and few months later i was laid off
-installing siding lasted one day, turns out I hate heights and people that work at this company had little to no care about safety
-machine operator at a manufacturing company, one of the crappiest things I have done, brain numbing 8-4, awful on the body, after injury I was unable to lift heavy so went on disability for a while
-software dev stimulates my mind and I learn new stuff, pays the most, my work environment is decent and I have been remote for over a year, boss respects me and company is very flexible. Best job in my life.
- agumonkey 5y agoYeah I forgot how unsafe simple gigs are most of the time. Very sad realization. When I was delivering newspaper, a small detail came to my mind too.. I have no toilets. And at 6 in the morning chances of finding anything open are slim. First time in my life I had fantasies of offices with an actual bathroom. Happy that you found a great spot in dev.
