I love my job. It pays well, the hours are good, and I get to do what I love (play golf). I practiced like hell over the years to earn a spot as a golf instructor for junior golf camps at this really nice course, and it has definately payed off. $100/day for 7 hours. Golf instruction, putting competitions, and we even get to play 9 holes on the amazing course each day. Oh, and I get to golf there for free after work and on weekends...and the beer cart girls are fantastic! They still think I'm 20

My parents didn't make me...I don't have bills to pay, and it's not cause of bordem. I do it cause I like it, and it brings in the cash.

I used to work at Dunkin Donuts... that was the worst job, my parents wouldn't even let me sit on our furtinure until I took a shower the smell was so strong. Ick, I now HATE donuts, and the other staffers were horrid people... but I quit now that I'm moving away for college. I also worked a a Bed and Breakfast a the beach.. that was a great job.. we get minimum wage, but they provide room and board and free beach passes... and all we have to do is waitress breakfast and dinner

Work is good if you actually like your job. For the other 99% of people, yeah it does suck. Unless you get lots of money. I think utlimately, I want to start a business of my own...

I just started doing some odd jobs for relatives (weeding, cleaning out basements, etc.)...they pay well because they don't want to screw a relative so that's pretty great. I also recently did some work for the MS Society where I dropped pamphlets in stores and stuff, but I'm looking to get a steady job to earn money to buy a band and practice space with my rock band, that's basically why I'm working...

I hate my job. I work at full serve gas station. I pump gas when it's cold, I pump gas when it's snowing, I pump gas when it's raining, and I pump gas when it's blazing hot outside. Customers are stupid, they dont know what theyre talking about. I'd say, if you want to see some of the stupidest people in the world, come to my gas station. I get paid $7.15CDN per hour, not too bad, could be better though. Also our gas station always has the lowest prices so we're always busier (that AND we're like the only full serve left in town, and people are just too damn lazy to pump their own gas, ha, I'd like to see an old lady try and figure out to work the gas pumps, which, by the way, isn't hard at all, but that's obvious).

The point is... working at a full serve gas station really sucks.
