Worked for a summer at Audubon golf course with the greens keepers.
We started at 6 on the dot. It was hot as balls. It was right after the renovation so the superintendent had it absolutely pristine. Every morning we would go out and rake and level bunkers and it was a pain in the arse. If it rained I would spend the entire day in bunkers making them flush and level with a pie crust. I eventually worked my way up to rider cutting fairways and rough which was pretty cool but it was still hot as shite in New Orleans heat.
After that summer I never looked at golf courses the same and have mad respect for the people who maintain the conditions of a golf course.

What time would yall go to sleep working jobs like these?
I would get home, eat, and pass out by 7 30.

Worked as an anchor handler with Delmar Offshore for about 3 years. They will get it out of you. When they say in the pre-hire info that you will rarely get 8 hours of sleep they are serious.

Worked for a plumbing/hvac contractor one summer in high school. Guy had been in the business for 45 years and had a huge shop out back where his plumbers would deposit various scrap from each day's jobs. So over those 45 years he had tons of piles of brass, copper and iron built up for the scrapyard that first needed separation by hand on the vise using hacksaws, pliers and wrenches (whole faucet assemblies that were cut out, ac coils, etc.) busting up huge old cast iron fittings and removing the lead, and busting up hundreds of old toilets for the dumpster. Occasionally, he'd put me to work digging ditches on jobsites or threading pipe. I didn't gain any weight working in the heat, but was strong as hell come football season.

Landscaping.
I also had a summer job clearing right of way (which was back breaking)but that was nothing in comparison to landscaping.
No backhoe, so we were moving truckloads of sand, dirt, and mulch with shovels and wheelbarrows.
It was like punishment work in prison or the military. "Take this shovel and this wheelbarrow and move that mountain of sand from the truck on the street to the yard behind that house."
And you did it day after day.
I was in the best shape of my life.

Coca Cola vendor. Around 500-800 cases and 7-11 stops a day.
Between getting checked in by assholes, delivering in tight arse coolers and stocking shelves that said assholes refused to do themselves, there weren't enough time in the day
Had more than a few 70+ hr work weeks and we only worked 4 days a week.
