Best Job You Ever Had

Diabhal Beag · 28-05-2009 06:35PM #1

Next week for I have to make sure nobody cheats in the Leaving or Junior Cert tests by following the poor souls to the toilets and make tea for the supervisers. I could get between 200-350 euro for this for just 4 days work 9 hours a day.

What is the easiest job you ever got paid for?

Working as a surf intructor in a surf school.

it was brilliant, 10 until 6 Monday to Friday. Few beers on the beach afterwards.

Having fun with groups of kids in the morning, playing games and teaching them how to surf. Then in the afternoon, we'd have groups of adults in, which was always a laugh!

The pay was terrible but I didnt care. On the days when there was no surf we'd just bring the kids down to the beach and play rounders or soccer!

Who wouldnt love that job? Did it for two summers, still think it was the best job I ever had!

my sister-in-law is a dental nurse and was working for the dental hospital, when I was about 15, 20 odd dentists where taking exams and I was asked could they just look in my mouth (like a regular check up) anyways I got 15pounds per dentist!

- that is actually a picture of my teeth now:D

Used to hand out lucozade alert to people on the street when it had just been released so they could try it, was paid like 10e+ an hour, with travelling expenses if we were far away, I used to just get a free lift with the van driver and pocket the travelling expenses too. And you take about a fun job that was easy. We were paid for a 3/4 hour shift to go through our allocation of 3 drinks for the day and we used to be finished after an hour and a half max.

Working in toymaster was pretty fun too, never went too far being bored cos you could always occupy yourself, play a game, build up a dolls house, assemble a bike or something to pass the time.

It's not there anymore. They moved eventually when they couldn't afford the rent. They moved out near The Square in Tallaght, but eventually their tits went vertically inclined there too because they weren't getting enough business.

Oh well! Working there during the Halo 3 Beta was absolute heaven. I'd finish up my shift, rob some Skittles out of the stock room and sit there for hours with the rest of the people in the centre playing away until around 10 at night, provided everyone wasn't playing Guitar Hero II on the 4 giant plasma screens in the front of the shop.

swingking · 28-05-2009 08:01PM

used to play piano in a restaurant. I would get 150 euro for 3 hours work; 3 nights a week. It was the best job ever.

admiralofthefleet · 28-05-2009 08:03PM

€150 to taste a few sauces last year, took all of 10 minutes

CoachBoone · 28-05-2009 08:06PM

Unreal job, literally got to play ball for the whole day. Pay was meh but I dont think thats particularly important for a 22yr old enjoying his job.

I had a job in the great north woods

kelle · 28-05-2009 08:59PM

I spent 3 years training to do my job, and a few years doing on-the-job training. It was sh1t for a few years as there are so many legalities and I ended up in the soup a few times. But I now know it like the back of my hand and enjoy it immensely. Though I had to take a pay cut recently (yes, I'm one of those horrible public service workers!), i find the money ok - enough for the essentials in life.

You didn't say what your job is though?
