Best job - college professor
Funnest job - Houseboy at a sorority house - great perks!
Worst job - apprentice in a shipyard - cleaning out bilges and holding tanks (on-board septic tanks), shoveling dead fish out of the drydock.
Worst paying job - farm laborer - made $0.40 by noon one day picking raspberries.
Most unusual - forestry technician at West Point Military Academy - marking trees and unexploded munitions - something they definitely didn't go over in forestry school!

I would say my funnest job was working through high school and college for a hunting store... I will admit that I spent most of my paycheck there, but have some great experience, met some awesome people and had a blast!

My current job is the coolest/best job is my current job- I'm a Deputy with the U.S. Marshals Service... worst part is sitting in court with illegals or other mopes listening to them wine and their scum attourneys(public defenders) that aren't any better. Best part is working warrants and conducting raids... There is an Ernest Hemmingway saying that we have on some posters that you guys can relate too that is something like - "THERE IS NO HUNTING LIKE THE HUNTING OF MAN AND THOSE WHO HAVE HUNTED ARMED MEN LONG ENOUGH AND LIKE IT, NEVER CARE FOR ANYTHING ELSE THEREAFTER"

...I still like duck, dove and deer hunting so it's not completely true for me! :lol:

I have never heard that saying and never hunted an armed man thankfully, but for some reason, I have always thought that would be the case.

Worst job - Working at Marshal Durbin chicken processing plant my senior year in college. Bought my wife's engagement ring but it hated every minute. I spent the longest day I have ever worked at that plant. Report at 4:00 am on a Friday and went home at midnight on Saturday for a total of 44 hours straight.

Best job - Working at the bank for 20 years prior to my back giving out.

Coolest job - Working for my Dad on our farm growing up. Learned a lot more than just how to take care of the farm. Though running barbed wire fence in the Summer I could rate as a worst job.
