Don't ask me, I have a shitty job where I drink at work a lot.

What he said.

Hey thats better than a shitty job where you don't drink....

That sounds pretty F#&%*@! Awesome to me.

I seem to work when I want, doing a job I love, on a really cool island. I'm quitting and dont know why, I think its some form of mental retardation.

my job blows.

My job is...... well i don't actually have a job as such. I'm a student and i fix computers in my spare time.

im a bartender. i got the job because a monkey can do it. better than me prolly.

coolest job: rollercoaster tester

I went to grad. school for a kajillion years until the economy turned around and a great job fell into my lap.

Well, which one of my awesome jobs would you like to have a shot at?

Stay at home parent or pro wrestler? One of which swings from mind numbing boredom to intense stress and the other consists of me beating the holy fuck out of myself for little to no money.

I worked witht his company buliding wooden rollercoasters. That was the worst job I think I ever had. I remember I quit fired . You know, when the boss is about to fire you, and you sence that, so you stop him before he can get it out, and say I quit. They hate that. Anywho, that job suuuucccckkkkssss asssss. That week I quit I went and enrolled back in school. Now I have this other sorry job. My advice to you is start your own business!!!!!

Explain to me how mopping up the jizz booth at the Pleasure Palace is a "good job". So I have something to tell my folks.

I love my job, well, the job it self is kinda feh (to use the local parlance) but the perks are unbeliveable.

It feels good to see so many people unhappy with their jobs ... Of course I hate mine too

you know I did that too ... then the economy turned around again where i was living, I got laid off, moved to LA and now I'm a 'consultant'

Right now I am unemployed. But when I am in work, I clean pools. At least, I did last year, and will most likely do the same this year. It blows. I didn't even get hit on by housewives, or walk in on people sunbathing in the nude. And the actually work is pretty lame. On the upside, all of my tshirts and shorts are bleach stained because of it. . .

I just walked into the recruiters office and demanded that they make me a linguist.

There deffinately are people on this site with awesome jobs and I am deffinately jealous.

Mostly, if you enjoyed doing it, they wouldn't have to pay you for it. Y'know?

Thanks! Its all hard work and perciverence! That is the secret. I am currently employed as a Panhandler on the streets of L.A. Its a really creative job because sometimes I have to find cardboard to make a sign that says "Please help, syphilis really hurts. " And that can be quite the adventure let me tell you!

And sometimes I have to try and remember not to just go ahead ans piss my pants while I am asking for change for booze or dangerously laced smack, because a smelly bum is not at the forefront of the guest service train! I swear you never know what will happen next in this exciting carrer!

My advice to you would be to try really hard at something you love (like acting!) and put all your faith in some esoteric beleif system (like positive visulization or beleving in God!) and then let the years just go by until you start losing faith in your abilities and beleifs and then just go nuts one night (say on a tuseday, mabye the 28th of June 2001) drink an entire bottle of Libbys Gin and take about 25 advil. Miss work for the next week, loose your job, friends, family and house, and move onto the fast crazy life of the street!

Good luck! The life of a panhandler can be truly rewarding, especially if you consider staff infections a reward.

Watch out for those W-9 tax forms at the end of the year! And if you handle on my corner, I'll fucking kill you.

Best,

The president of my company personally contacted me and asked me to work for him.

OK, so I had worked there previously and quit to go to Japan as an exchange student, but I like the out-of-context version of the story.

To get into my industry in the first place, I learned relevent skills and then applied for jobs.

i'd like to change my answer. this would be the coolest job.
who could withstand my Effite Slaps of Justice?

Hmmmm.......Nope my job sucks ass.

I listen to dumb people complain all day at the call center I work at...not that cool.

I slept with all the right people.
