What has been your best job?

My best job has been in the YMCA here in San Juan directing groups of kids into teams in different sports and in the vacation periods we had many excursions that some of those I was responsible for them as I was one of the directors at that time 20 years ago.

I worked at the North Carolina State Fair and other Function like the New Years Festivities for durham...and got to dress up in a Simpson's Costume...as well as "King Of the Hill Costumes" for a local Fox station (fox50). I did Homer, Marge (b/c the head was too heavy for the girls), Bart....Hank Boomhauser, and Bobby. I got paid $25 and hr!! Hey its tv..they get paid good i guess? So with two weeks of fair of which i worked weekends and the new years/christmas parade I'd make $500-$1000!! Not bad for a 10th grader hehe. All i did was stand there and take pictures with people and shake hands hehehhehe!

Being a high voltage lineman was very rewarding after hurricane Hugo. My first paycheck was for 147 hours and the next week was 125. Besides the money, there was alawys a good feeling helping folks through the aftermath by clearing their driveways and yards of debris and trees. :38:

I suppose having been a St. Louis Metropolitan Poliuce Department patrolman has to have been the best job I ever loved; being there for people IN NEED, at the TIME they needed, and doing what had to be done ON THE SPOT...a "shock trooper", if you will (the courts, correction facilities and social workers get to clean up the mess later).

Granted, I liked the freedom of being a freelance artist/designer, the tedious joy of actually watching a student LEARN from me as a teacher, the dogged pursuit of lost aircraft/missing people after a disaster, and the strong purpose of war, make no mistake about them; but all in all, the happiest years I ever had came with a blue shirt, a .38 SPL "smokewagon" and a shield.

The job I have now is the best - four people in one office -
office manager, secretary, me (the nurse), and, the doc.
We're family. No back-biting, no rows - we get along!
Good pay.

*Pinch me, please! :P

It has to be the one right now, PLUS the perks are GREAT! I get to sleep with the boss :P :wink: Don't have to answer to nobody, don't have to punch a clock, get to spend ALL of my time outdoors WAYYYY out in the boonies, don't see a single soul around AND the pay is wonderful! We make enough in the season that when winter rolls around (or in this case, if winter ever QUITS) we don't have to work, we stash enough during the season to tide us over until the next spring :wink:

My best job is definitely the one I have now! :D Am part-time at a county-run copy center for people with disabilities and truly enjoy the work duties and the co-workers! :D The head manager is a born-again Christian and also have two Christian co-workers...so that is a real bonus! :)
