Best job? Sales Engineer, comissioned sales, traveling worldwide selling specialized industrial equipment for a well-respected company with a 80+% market share. Made a lot of money, traveled all over the world, no management responsibilities.
Worst job? Graveyard shift in a mattress factory making box spring frames. (summer job paying my way through college in the late 1970's) $3.65/hr plus piecework bonus, I was maxed out at $6.00/hr within 3 days. I quit after a week and went to work on a marine construction project as a laborer at $5.00/hr because I hated it so much.
What i wanted to do? Civil/Industrial Construction Management, Geological Engineering or Towel Boy at the Playboy Mansion.
What i ended up doing VP of Sales
