What was the job that was fun to work at? The amount you were getting paid, it could have been minimum wage, but it was simply fun.

I have three. One was bartending but it could get hectic and the fun went away. Another was being a life guard at Fantasea Water Park (now Blue Bayou).
But I would say the most fun job was being a bellhop at the Hilton on College. Easy work, kick back galore, driving flight crews back and forth, and just simply hanging in the lobby.
I don't think I actually did much work physically other than people's luggage.

Projectionist at AMC back in High School. Once I started the movies I dicked around until he next round. It was 1992-1994 and the theater was 8 screens. Free concessions, free movies, great wage for the time...$8.50/hr for a high school kid was awesome.

Working at a paintball field when I was a teen. Made $150 a weekend and also got to play for practically free. Had a blast going to work most days. Made lifelong friends out there. Got to see a lot of the country playing in tournaments. Still consider the owner of the place to be a mentor.

I was a front desk agent at a Hilton. All we did was shoot shite with the bellman and guests when things got slow or played around on the internet.

I would frequently disappear in the hotel and go hang out with the kitchen and housekeeping crew. Got paid a decent wage to do it too.

Law clerk at a major PI firm. Had my own office. Sat in there with the door locked and browsed the interwebs of the day. I could goof off half the time and still crank out all kinds of motions, memos, and briefs. I had ‘em trained to type up a memo, attach it to the file, and slide it under my door. If I wanted to leave, there was always something to do “at school.” Whatever it was, they liked what I did and hired me as an associate counsel straight out of law school. Good times though for a couple of years.

I worked on a cattle ranch for 5 years. Lived out there. That shite was fun as all hell.

I was a lead valet at night at Lauberge for 2 years. I was juiced up at the time and absolutely slayed the puss. I made a couple grand on game day weekends. It was pretty high energy and I was constantly interacting with all kinds of different folks. Did a ton of networking there, actually have my job now because of a dude i would talk to at night while he was waiting on his wife to get off the slot machines.

Eta: made 7.25 an hour at farm And tips at lauberge plus hourly was anywhere from 25 to 40 an hour

I worked at academy at the old Lafayette location When in college. It was a bunch a college aged kids and we did a lot of stupid shite. Made some really good friend and still talk to some this day.

Worked at motiva in Covenant one summer. Ended up working for a pre turnaround crew for turner. It ended up being a bunch of coonasses from Pierre part and we had fun. Went frogging several nights with one guy because his son refused to go. That dude could crush some Budweiser
