i work in fine dining establishments. right now i'm just a backwait at one upscale place. but i think i'll be getting a position as a lunchtime server at another place soon. i'll be balancing both jobs.
i actually like working service. i'm great at smiling. i enjoy working with food and wine. i enjoy learning about it as well. and i'm generally good with people.

It really is, unless you work in an enviroment where you are permitted to speak out against asshole customers.
I work at a club now, but I have about 10 years of fine-dining experience including banquet management. It's pretty glamorous, actually. I get to doll myself up and be extremely superficial on the weekends and then be my laid-back stoner self during the week. Sure, I deal with a lot of drunken fools and I see most of the 7 deadly sins acted out before my eyes every work night, but I also get to tell people off if they are being exceptionally lewd.
Bars ftw!

I'm a cook at a small restaurant. The pay is pretty good, and I really like all my coworkers (well, except for one, but I only see that dude 3 hours a week). Also, my chef is getting ready to up and leave after he's trained me on proper invoicing and such, so I'll probably get some full on kitchen management in before I leave.
I was working a $12/hour, 60-65 hour a week (plus 10 or so commuting) job working at a small corporate chain, but the working environment was so fucking miserable, along with all the employees, and the management so shitty, that I ended up walking out on them. I've never walked out on a job before, and don't plan to in the future, but I gotta say it was pretty sweet going from constantly being negatively criticized by management to getting a weeks worth of messages on my machine asking me to come back. Not the best career move, but I was going bonkers.

I'm a bartender. I love my job, hate my boss. Luckily he's not around most of the time, so my job is actually pretty sweet. Just totally sucks whenever he's around.
Hopefully soon I'll be working as a tree care specialist.

I have a job at an Italian pizzeria. Our oven burns wood and it takes about 90 seconds for a pizza to cook at 800 degrees. I've been at this one for a couple of months but I was at another location for 2 years prior to 2 years off from this place.
I get a free pizza every time I work.

I just wish I could get a few more hours. I bet I'll regret saying that once finals roll around though.

On the bright side you have free pizza all the time, so you get free food all the time, easier on expenses eh?

Yeah and I gotta be there in an hour. I work for a major graphics card/motherboard manufacturer in customer service/tech support and I basically just talk to gamers and pissed off people who's computers aren't working all day. It's a sweet ass company to work for so I'm content.

Exactly! Even when I'm not working I can usually get a free pizza. Sometimes two if I'm with somebody. It's really great. So if I run out of money I can just go get a free meal of the most delicious pizza that you've ever tasted.

I work at a grocery store. It's not great but it's not bad either, I get paid decent. And I get raises on schedule, I work for a union.
I don't get a ton of hours though, maybe 16-30 hrs a week. I'm going to start looking for another job after Christmas time, Because I figure I'll get a lot of work during Christmas, and I don't really want to tell them I'm unavailable.
I'm going back to school soon anyway though.

you just have to alter your perception a little
that pay is your pay, it helps you go out and have a great time at clubs and let's you be your own man on your time a whole lot easier, so in reality, whoring your self out serving customers is all to benefit you and you dont have to put on an act for the customer unless your some obnoxious twat or something... just be you and have twice the pay

I suppose you can say I work for myself on eBay. I have been doing it for the past few years now, I like how I can pretty much decide how much work I want to put in, of course the pay reflects that though.
I sell different stuff such as random things my friends want to sell, sometimes I find really good deals on craigslist where I can simply resell on ebay and make 30-40 dollars, and lately for the past few months I have had a sweet connect where this guy who owns a computer repair store sells me all his extra inventory for really cheap.
Textbook season is coming up to, lots of kids are desperate to sell their books and since bookstores pay them shit I can really cash in 
If I could do this for the rest of my life I think I would be pretty happy. Extremely laid back an I can do all work stoned as fuck (even though it seems to take twice as long).
However I am in the second half of a engineering college now so I guess ill see what a real job is like fairly soon.

there's numerous places around the US that do the same thing you are, selling on ebay for others, some have store fronts and stuff, you should consider turning it into a larger business, maybe bring in a few of your friends as employees
