    Best: My current job as an electrical systems engineer for a US defense contractor. (who's now helping to pay for grad school!)

    Worst: Was an internship I had a few years back where I was pretty much just a coffee delivery boy/spell-check for the manufacturing engineers

    best. I'm currently a manager at a resturant and working my way up hoping to get a store of my own.

    I may transfer later.. Im a chef with Culinary School training, just waiting for the perfect job to open in a nice steak house. :)

    Worst job- barista. My boss was horrible.

    Best job (my summer job last year and this upcoming summer): fisheries research technician for Fisheries and Oceans Canada.. I do species-at-risk fish sampling. 5 days a week. 14 hours a day of hauling nets, trudging through marshes and identifying/photographing/measuring/fin clipping fish. Nothing is more exhilerating than catching a species that you've been trying to find for 2 weeks and countless sampling sites and net hauls for. Not to mention all of the other cool flora and fauna I get to see! I live out of a suitcase and bbq every night. It is AMAZING. This year I'm getting a raise and will be co-leading a crew :D

    best (so far): delivery driver for wingzone. i wouldnt really consider it a "great" job but i definitely had more fun there than any other job i've had. all the managers there were a little too cool. i got paid to drive around and listen to music all day and talk to people. money actually wasnt too bad. only bad thing was all the wear and tear it put on my car. left there and got a new job when i bought the truck i have now. wasn't about to be puttin all that wear n tear on a new car plus trucks arent exactly easy on gas. if i had an old beat up car to use for work, i wouldnt mind goin back to a delivery job while im still in school.

    worst: i took a summer landscaping job working for this guy that had his own business. it was just me and him. he was pretty cool, but he always had the riding lawnmower and i had the weed eater. laying sod was hell. i enjoy working outside, but we would work 6-6 in the dead of summer, sometimes 6 days a week, and i was WAY under paid. being young and naive, i didn't know how crappy he was paying me, but i later found out i was getting paid like $4-5 an hour less than most people around here doing the same job. lol oh well. you live and you learn.

    Best: current job as a graphic designer for a small promotional products and printing company. I'm in an office with only 1 other person who's only there about 1/2 the time. I get along with my coworker great. When times are slow, I can browse bp.net and pinterest to my heart's content and no one is looking over my shoulder. I get to wear jeans and flip flops to work everyday if weather permits.

    Worst: cashier for a car dealership with no ac and a boss that was constantly watching to see if I was keeping busy when there wasn't really enough work to stay busy.

    I'm with Judy, my best job(s) is right now, with The Reptile Report and ShipYourReptiles.

    Worst job, I don't know, I have worked at the used cd store, delivered pizza (including Domino's) and also worked at Subway. Those weren't great jobs, and they didn't pay well, but they weren't horrible. I certainly went through a few -hot meatball wrapped in a triangle slice of cheese and a dash of mayo and mustard- snacks at Subway. I wasn't the only one.

    I don't think meatball sub sales quite stacked up to meatballs ordered...
