All the jobs I've had were in the food service industry. I didn't really plan that out, I wasn't 5 years old and playing with the easy bake oven... My first job just happened to be in a kitchen. But somehow I grew to love being in a hot-ass restaraunt kitchen all day, feeding folks who don't know how to cook, but sure know how to eat. I have managed to stay out of fast food, and have enough know-how and experience, that I recently got offered a salaried manager position, which is like gold to my high-school-degree ass. Woohoo! A living wage, how great is America that I may finally be able to afford food, shelter, and health insurance all at once! p.s. this is a good thread, I often wonder what y'all do for a living.

Zoo help, porn store clerk (with booths, natch), network engineer, website design, technology company training dept., more retail than anyone should have to endure, retail store management, theatre counter help, pizza thrower, telemarketer, programmer, auditor, prep cook, grill cook, game machine repair and I volunteered at a homeless shelter for two years.
I'm pretty sure there is a ton of stuff I've forgotten. I'm forever having conversations with people and saying "oh yeah, I've done that [for a living]."

Welding is where it's at. Every welder I know makes very good money.

My first job was at a bowling alley and it sucked. After that I have done web design, data entry, clerical work, courier, then back to website design and data entry. I can type pretty well so it's relatively easy to find a job for 10-15 bucks an hour.

Yet another bowling alley denizen. I have yet to meet one of our brethren who liked his job.

Shortly after I quit that shitty job, three employees were shot and killed by some crazy intruder. One of the people killed had taken over my position. Lucky me.

Do you ever feel bad for people killed at shitty jobs? Like when some robber comes in and kills several fast food employees or something. All I can think is, "Those kids died for minimum wage."

Dishwasher at a ritzy restraunt - fucking sucked. Rediculous platters that stuck to the plate and a pedophile cook. I was 16 when I had this and quit after 2 weeks.
dogbone maker - not a bad job. Cow bones and whatnot got delivered from butchers and we would smoke. Really dirty, but excellent under the table pay
TARGET employee - 2nd best job ever. I got hired when the store first opened and worked there for three years. Basically I just wandered around the store, trying not to get nabbed by a team lead and given something to do.
gas station/unimart clerk - best job ever. Five minutes away from my house, a bar next door, my good friend works with me, the boss and manager are never around and don't care about anything anyways, and I get to smoke up on the job, often by some of the regulars from the bar. Best part of the job though - I get to see all the vile, disgusting creatures that walk the earth around here, and it encourages me to stay in college, get a good job, and not be a scumbag.

I don't exactly feel bad for them, just happy it wasn't me. I'd hate to be the one who died for chump change. What was your position at the bowling alley? I was the idiot cooking all of the bad fried food. The best thing about it was being able to make a huge meal for myself when no one was around, which was nice even though the food sucked.

I was the machine fixer. I have a description of the job in this thread (back a couple of pages I think).

That sounds bad. Remembering that shitty job makes me thankful I do half the work now, and make way more money.

First - Grocery Bagger at a place called "Bruno's Supermarket"
Second - Usher/Cashier/Bitch at Regal Cenimas
Third - Stocker & Meat Department Bitch at Target
All equally fun jobs. I met a lot of friends at each of them. However I'm jobless now and I'll stay that way through a good bit of my early college life. Its boring without a job, and look where you end up. Growing psychodellic mushrooms. Sheesh! The way the world turns, eh?

Currently unemployed... not the best resume.
