What's the best job you've ever had?

[SkiFree]

Alright, I got a little depressed reading about Farbin's crappy job (badump bump) along with everyone elses bad stories. Now what's the best job you've ever had.


My best job.
Out of highschool I didn't want to go to college yet and just wanted a job that would let me ski a lot. Lucked into a job at the then-new (and pre-bankrupt) Yellowstone Club in Montana. My job was to look after 20 cabins midway up the mountain. It meant a lot of hardwork (splitting wood, shoveling snow, etc), but the perks were awesome. got two hours of skiing everyday day, drove snowmobiles on the ski runs after hours, ate amazing food (cavier and kobe beef burgers anyone?), lots of wildlife (working on a house when a moose walked up behind me, grizzly killing an elk on the golfcourse, getting charged by a horny bull deer). And with all that I made enough money to fund my first year of college, was the best thing I could have ever done at that time.

Probably my current one. Decent pay, decent benefits and I can wear sneakers/jeans/polo to work. Put my headphones on and essentially ignore everyone all day.

This sounds a lot like my job. Except I can work my own hours, and I work with 3 friends and a really cool guy for a boss.

I would have to say my current job. I went to engineering school so I like that I am in an engineering field even if I went for mechanical and am now in civil. I design bridges and railroads and roadways. My grandfather was contractor way back when and built a lot of the bridges that ill be replacing. I make decent money in my opinion. I can wear jeans and sneakers to work everyday. I've got my own office right out of school. The guys I work with are all pretty cool, we have fun with office pranks and stuff. We all pretty much went to the same college so nobody works during ball games. I'm close to home and can live with my parents while I save and look for my first home. Things couldn't have worked out much better for me and it all happened because a little old lady that doesn't know me but knows my stepfather called my now boss and said he should take me under his wing and give me a job. And he did.

Straight out of high school I got a job in an MWD shop(Monitor While Drilling). I built and repaired electronics used for oilfield drilling. I worked with some of the greatest people ive ever met and they were fucking hilarious. So go to work, laugh, lurk r3v, build shit, had everything imaginable needed to wire my car during the build process, people trying to get our business always brought by donuts and burritos, and made 3500 a month. Thats a lot when your 18 and living in wy where its nice in cheap :)

Current job. It's completely chill, everything is 100% flexible, dress any way I want, any hours I want, good pay, all coworkers are awesome, make friendships with famous scientists all the time, perform a wide variety of tasks.

The best part is all the connections I've made so far. I have three amazing job opportunities waiting for me once I graduate. The hardest part will be choosing one.

Do what you really love and everything else falls in place.

Cheers

My current job. I run the warehouse for a BMX distribution company. Ridden BMX for the last 17 years so it's very fitting. Laid back, great bosses and people to work with as they've all been my friends since before my job. Pays decent for what it is, fully paid healthcare and lots of time off when I need it. I actually enjoy going to work usually. I also build wheels for some of the biggest names in BMX so it's always fun to see my work in magazines or web videos on line.

I have hopes of starting and running my own detail business in the coming years but for now I couldn't be happier at a job.
