What was your favorite job?

[negativecreep]

In college I worked special events for the basketball arena. We did the sound for basketball games and worked with the roadies to set up and take down stage/lighting/sound/set for the bands that played there. Saw some good concerts and got paid to do it. Metallica, Steve Miller Band, Prince and RHCP were some of the better ones I worked. The best part was after we'd load out the band it was usually 2-3 am and we'd party in the bowels of the arena until 5-6. We'd have drunken golf cart races in the concourse and play big games of home run derby with balls made of used gaff tape from the arena floor. We just had to be gone before the morning custodial crew showed up at 630. That was a blast.

That sounds like one heck of a fun job, If I had the chance to see those artists, I'd do it for free. Awesome story man I made sandwiches and delivered pizzas in college, lol.

I'm currently a programmer/dba which I love but my favorite was bartending. I was a bartender for 15 years before getting into IT. Worked in dives, dance clubs and strip clubs (male and female). It is a great job and you can make fantastic money.

Working in a bowling alley. PInchaser in the back during leagues, short order grill cook, snack & beverage bar, but mostly working the front counter. Drank free beer all night, and would run my own specials sometimes during open bowling, like 10 cents a game, or "red pin" bowling in which I would STAMP STAMP STAMP free games all over people's score sheets just because. Managers used to get so angry at me, couldn't understand why

Beer distributer/pop bottling plant in high school. The pop machine was stocked with beer and worked on dimes. After work everyone gathered and had a couple cold ones.

Oddly enough, my favorite job was one I worked back when I was 20, stupid, and financially and economically naive. I was a Domino's pizza delivery guy. Yep. I was that nut driving like a bat outta Hades in that small Chevrolet T-1000 (do they even make that car anymore?) with the huge freaking ugly not-very-aerodynamic sign strapped on top. It's nothing like driving all over town without a care in the world, delivering cardboard food that customers actually wanted and TIPPED for, kicking back between deliveries and stuffing myself with that same cardboard BUT free food. It was only a couple of months but I loved the heck out of that job. Good times...

Whats the craziest thing you ever had happen while delivering?

Programmer at a startup. Work any hours I want. Work from home whenever I want. Unlimited paid vacation. Everyone at my office has a similar personality (only 6 of us) and goes out drinking together. Only problem is none of us root for the same team. We have a Cowboys fan (me), Steelers fan, Bears fan, Commanders fan, Texans fan and Seahawks fan.

Haha, that's exactly what my next job will be, and will probably be the best job I've had. The startup scene, if you're actually with a good company, is glorious. Pay, benefits, work atmosphere, humor, it's great. Can't wait. I'll be developing full-stack apps around JS architecture, Node, React, etc. If I land this one job in particular, it'll be with one that also focuses on branding. Love it.

I'm still desperately clinging onto my late 20's, but I'd have to say my favorite job to date was a Landman. I got myself some fancy book learnin', and landed a good gig. Commuted to West TX every week by myself, which was fine with me since I was single, no kids, etc. Got paid way too much money. Did my thing, reviewed by Title Attorneys, boom a new project the next week. Then oil crashed and I knew hanging on to a cyclical business wasn't the best for my mental health.
