Current one.
Got it at the end of my freshman year of high school.
Medical transcription.
Boring as hell, but it's work at home, I make 2-3x as much as everybody else my age, and work whenever I want 🙂
Downside being, I don't get paid to come into work and slack :/
Paid by the job and not the hours.

$8 an hour is good pay?

I had a lot of internships throughout undergrad and between grad schools:
AT&T Microelectronics - 1 summer, programming for probe and test
AT&T/Lucent Microelectronics - 2 summer, programming for lithography
Motorola Semiconductor Products Sector - 1 summer, product development
Lucent Technologies - 1 summer, installing/qualifying steppers for lithography
Intel - 1 summer, process integration
I was resident coordinator at my university apartment complex for a couple of years, and I had a couple of grocery jobs.
Now, I'm a research scientist at a smaller lab doing semiconductor reseach.
BUT, the best job I ever had was during one of the summers that I was working at AT&T/Lucent in Orlando. I had a night job working the doors at a techno dance club/bar at Disney's Pleasure Island. It didn't pay much at all, and I slept like three or four hours a night before the day job started, but it was BY FAR the most awesome job ever.
The excuse, "I'm on vacation," allows people (women) to do just about anything.
I wish I had a second life/youth to completely waste while working at Disney.

Your mom.
Favorite job I had was delivery/clerk for a medical supplies retail store. The pay wasn't so hot, $10 an hour, but it's where I met my ex gf, who was a nymphomaniac - she worked there. When they needed a second delivery guy & asked if I knew anyone, I told a friend who they ended up hiring. The atmosphere was great, and the store itself never did much business, so not many annoying customers to deal with. Boss was youngish and really cool, wasn't the type to watch over your shoulder & make sure you were busy - which, considering how little business the store did, we never were. So if I was working in the store (about half the time) I'd just get it on all day with my gf in a back room. If I was delivering, my bud & I would hit up malls, watch movies, etc. in between deliveries. Like most stores that don't sell much though, they went out of business 🙁

i worked at a parking garage on campus.
that was an alright job. i sat in the booth, taking money.
some people were complete jerks, but you run into that with any job involving the general public.
i would do crossword puzzles, bring my guitar, listen to the radio, watch the ducks from the pond across the way procreate.

My current job is the best job I have ever had, corporate accounting.
The most fun job for me was working as inventory control in a warehouse. Stuff would go missing and I always blamed it on the manager who was just fired. The physical inventory often had very little in common with the listings in the computer. And our daily meetings were often like pulling teeth, there was so much animosity in that place. It was a total blast to work there. A big portion of my current friends circle originated from that job over six years ago.
