Best is my current. Network Operations/Monitoring & Upper Level Tech Support. My job title is "Maintenance Administrator." Laxed atmosphere, good schedule (imo), decent pay, good benefits, awesome environment, etc etc

Worst was working in IS/GIS for the Parish Government. School job senior year. I worked there from 12-5 M-Th and my job was to draw out roads, ditches, etc into a cad program off of aerial photographs. Most monotonous shit ever.

Worst was cell phone sales for Verizon Wireless. The manager was a total bitch and I was forced to work in one of those cell booths at Walmart.

Best is my current job, Network/Infrastructure Admin for Vandenberg AFB. Great pay, 15 minutes from my house, awesome work environment, I get to learn all kinds of shit that I wouldn't normally get exposed to. They also pay for my schooling and certs and the top level tech pay caps at 120k a year. So there is plenty of opportunity to get paid bank in the long run.

Could you guys at least list what the jobs were, I mean current doesn't exactly describe a job.

worse - pharmacy student at a hospital. All I did was prepare iv's in a stockroom with not much interaction and no sunlight. I felt like a vampire. Good thing was that I did it for a year.

Best - current job at my own pharmacy. Own boss, good pay and I get off at 6pm everyday. Free food too.

Best - current. Medical Research.
Worst - Catering gig I did for 2 years in high school/college. Long ass hours (worked from 10am - 7am once), always got off way late (midnight - 3am was normal), crappy pay, on your feet the whole time, bosses were slavedrivers, some of the people we catered to were snobs/bitches/arrogant etc. Overall it wasn't that bad - a lot of my friends worked there, I got a lot of free food, stole a bunch of booze, hours were flexible, and sometimes I made nice tips -- but there were times I hated it.
