Best: drumming in my band. although I rarely ever got paid, I loved playing our music for people!
Working at the magic show. I was just supposed to help with some of the props but kept coming up with better ideas so, I was quickly made prop master and assistant stage manager. I got to do minor appearances on stage, too. I was also in charge of editing the music to fit the tricks in the show.
Running sound for acts like Todd Rundgren, Johnny Winter, Joydrop, Julian Lennon and running lights for Adrian Belew (I'd never run lights before but he said I did a great job.)
Working in the first printshop (the 2nd was boring as fuck and my boss was an asshole), they respected me and let me do things my way because they knew I could get them done faster and better and they entrusted me to take on important jobs by myself.
Working at the dinner theatre, it was a lot of fun, it was "important" work and I had to have the food ready in time to be served and I got to work closely with my girlfriend (or who I thought was my girlfriend).
And, working in the record store, although, I only did it every other Sunday for 5 hours.
Worst: The 2nd print shop because I often had to sit around for HOUIRS waiting for the next job we had to run!! At one point, I did absolutely nothing for 2 days in a row!! And, like I said, my boss was often a big asshole.
I kinda liked working at Cedar Point except that the big boss was an asshole and a few of the leads at the games were also assholes.
Working at the flower shop. It was only 2 days in Feb. but I was outside al day directing traffic in the parking lot.
There were a few other jobs I hated but I don't recall what they were.
one summer i built swimming pools. I worked with a bunch of fun guys, had a boss that was more interested in his girlfriends and drove around in a cool pickup truck. The money was good too.
The worst job was running a technical services department for a high tech company. I was in charge of abut 30 engineers. This place was really messed up. People would get fired and just disappear. Nobody would talk about it. i could not ask the engineers what the status was on any of their service calls. They would complain to my boss about it. I was not allowed to ask people to let me know of they are working from home. My boss would schedule a meeting with me and then not show up. I would sit in an empty conference room by myself for an hour.
We had a flood at the office and everyone was moved into one half of the building . I shared a cubicle with a technician that worked nights. When i came into work at 8AM I asked him what time he was going home. He complained to my boss about it.
They gave me a cellphone. I imagine they expected me to keep it glued to my head 24/7. That is not how I live my life. I put it on the charger as soon as i got home and did not look at it until the nextday.
After 7 weeks they fired me. They would not tell me why. They even admitted that i came to work every day on time and that I did everything that they asked me to do. I suppose I should have known when i foung out that the tech that was there the logest was only there a year and a half.
The best job I ever had was as an educational trainer, where I could directly impact lives by helping individuals grow academically and professionally. The fulfillment of witnessing their successes made it invaluable. The worst job was early in my career when I worked in a role with limited growth opportunities. However, it taught me the importance of aligning personal values with professional roles. Both experiences contributed to my understanding of what makes a fulfilling career.

Dish dishwashing as a 14 year-old didnāt last very long didnāt want it. Terrible worthless job. best job is working the Super Bowl on the sidelines great entertainment
None of my jobs were that good, but most of them weren't that bad either.
Let's say my best jobs were when I was working as an archivist, and when I was working in a museum.
My worst jobs were when I was working at the counter in Social Security, and when I was working in the Caritas warehouse.
I've hated all of my jobs.
