What job is actually much *better* than it looks?

1. I work as a bartender, which people had told me I would hate because it's busy and I would have people constantly demanding things from me and complaining. I love it, I love finding new recipes, I love building drinks, shooting the shit with my customers, I love when it's busy and I'm working as fast as I can on the very edge of getting overwhelmed. I have not had a single "bad" day working this job, and I'm so upset that I didn't start doing it sooner.

2. This might only count for my country but; driving a garbage truck. Better paid than higher demanded educated jobs like; being a policeofficer, teacher or nurse. Also thankful in the way that you won't have excessive shifts. 20 hours a week for a great pay. However, you'll still be taking care of fishy, silly and vile garbage.

3. I love my job, I'm a personal assistent for a guy in a wheelchair. He is in his teens and all he really does is play videogames and wathing youtube. Today I've been scrolling reddit for 5 hours and helped him eat and go to the bathroom once. I can't complain

4. Security. I literally just sit alone for 8 hours and listen to podcasts while looking at cameras. Very nice.

5. Oilfield. You always think of the guys covered in oil running pipe, but that's just the drilling process, a large portion of the oilfield is work for 2 hours a day, watch Netflix the other ten. Bring home 80k a year. Places where there is alot of oil are usually pretty remote, so everyone working there has to travel for work, thus many schedules are work for a long time, then get a long time off. 15 days on 6 days off, two weeks on 1 week off. You can literally take a vacation any time of the year without using vacation days. I worked for a company for 5 years and never once put in a vacation day. Once you get used to having an entire week straight off every month, and two some months, a 9-5 with weekends off kinda sucks.

6. Garbage collector seems fun outside of the smell. You get to work outside, it's good exercise, and you get to hang on the outside of a moving vehicle. You probably find some cool stuff people throw away, too.

7. Working in the sewers. It's quiet, peaceful, and you get to hang-out with the Turtles.

8. I'm currently a bartender and I'm surprised at how much I actually enjoy it. The pay's pretty good, and the work is fast-paced and mentally engaging, which is what I need from a job. Sure, you have to deal with some shitty customers from time to time, but for every shitty customer, there are twice as many nice ones.

9. Graveyard shift, in a literal graveyard. It's peaceful.

10. As an introvert I loved working as a delivery man. You get to sit alone in your car for about 8h with just brief interactions with people.
