At uni best job I had was working at my student uni behind the bar - it was basically like being paid for going out
Although I did have a permanent hangover - at least it was free
So many of thousands of other awful jobs though - usually the mundane ones, like working in a coffee outlet were the worst - mind numbingly boring for minimum wage :rolleyes: . I had a job cleaning toilets at a communal retreat in france once - that was AWFUL (hundreds of people to a loo, which was basically a drain pipe cut in half - in 37 degree heat - nice!) but at least y'could laugh about it- or possibly we were just high on the fumes!
