I don't know if the parent story is apocryphal (sure sounds like it), but having done that job (high school gig), I can testify that it's pretty great: flexible, easy, and you get paid, in cash, for every quantum of work. Plus it can just be really fun -- tons of great stories, and there were nights where I rolled away with hundreds of dollars in cash in my pocket. Easily one of the best jobs of my life. I like to say that my career satisfaction peaked early. It would actually be a pretty good gig if you're otherwise well-off and just looking for some socialization in your life.
