I’ve had a few different jobs, ranging from worst to best, and from hard to easy.

My Worst Jobs In Ranking of Worst to Best
1. Cashier – once at a clothes store, once for the Army in Stuttgart, Germany
2. Bagger at food store
3. Donut grease scraper (one of my first jobs, involved scraping all the grease out of a donut backery)
4. English Content Manager for a website
5. 711 Cashier/Stock (worked alone, but interesting customers)
6. Newspaper Delivery Guy (it was outdoors, couldn’t complain too much…
7. Groundsman for a Golf Course (a one day job)
8. Cafeteria Worker at my University (a fun job since it gave free food and lots of fellow friends)
9. Full time blogger (the best paid and the most relaxing)

By making my own top 9 list of jobs I’ve had over the years I can better judge what kind of work I actually like doing and it goes to show me that the more independent I can work, the happier I was at my job. Those jobs where someone is breathing down your neck, unless you have good co-workers, as with the instance of my cafeteria job, are usually not at all ideal.

Any job where you can be creative and work somewhat independently suits me best. Somewhere where I can utilize my skills daily, rather than being a being an corporate chimp, suite me best.

Any job where you find yourself repeating the same thing everyday with work that requires no new thinking, and something so easy a machine doing it is going to leave you unfulfilled and looking for something else.
