What was the EASIEST job you've ever had?

Oh reminds me - the delivery part of delivering pizza. Drive to location - give pizza, get $1-$5 tip. THe restaurant part (was a mom and pop) much harder - dishes, sweeping, swabbing, helping cunty teenybopper waitresses, etc.

Take surveys for the govmint for 15/hr plus 50c per mile driven. Always overtime available. I usually worked 50-60hrs a week. In a good week I'd net over $1200, that includes fuel expenditures. Usually about $900 though. Some people were raking in more than that due to the region they lived in. They'd spend 4hrs working and 10 driving. EVERY day. Best part was I was working with my best friend 70% of the time. Didn't even feel like work.

What a waste of money.

I want details. NOW

I want details. NOW

Would if I could. I signed a confidentiality agreement. Got the job thru a friend of a friend of a friend who got it from a staffing agency.

3rd shift security guard while in college. Do homework, have a couple of beers, put feet up and sleep till the morning guy wakes me up.

Easiest job ever - repairing electronics. You spent 50% of your time waiting for stuff to break and the repairs were more of a 'find what is broken and replace with new.' Cake.

Datacenter job, literally 15 minutes of work a day, pay was about 16 an hour, I miss it sometimes, and I really wish I had knocked out more Cisco certs while I had it instead of playing on the internet. They had about 2 racks worth of routers that were decommissioned.

This. I had a UNIX/Windows admin job at a 24/7 data center for a few months. I might have averaged 90 minutes worth of actual work during a 12 hour shift during the week, even less than that on weekends. Since they were 12 hour shifts, I got paid for 48 hours a week and got a three day weekend. The pay? $50 an hour, and as much overtime as I wanted.

The security guards don't seem to get to sleep through their shifts anymore. Instead, they make them do hourly rotations where they need to swipe their key card at specific checkpoints to prove that they made the rotation.

If I was a smart security guard, I'd cut a deal with the guy who had write access to the key card access records...

I was gonna say Taco Bell, while in high school, but I remember during a summer in college I worked cleaning on-campus apartments. Worked with my good friend and roommate, and we were the only guys there among about 8 girls... nice odds. Easy work, cool co-workers, it was great.

Sitting on my ass.

Literally was paid to do just that for a job. Sit on my ass and do nothing except what I wanted for 6 hours at a time.

Technically I was suppose to be watching the computer room at the college I went to as a work study. Which means I got there and made sure no one was trying to steal computers by being physically present in the room. I wasn't required to help anyone or do anything else except sit there in that room. Couldn't have ever had an easier job.

I did that job for awhile in college as well. Only difference is that I had to actually help users if they had questions in the computer lab I monitored, and had to test and re-image systems that had a corrupted OS installation.

That said, I probably spent less than half an hour doing real work on a 4 hour shift. Too bad it didn't pay well, or I would have stuck around in college for a Masters.

I worked as an auto detailer at a body shop for a summer once. The actual cleaning was easy, but most days I stood around doing nothing, because they really didn't need me there. We would get maybe 1 or 2 cars most days, and there was usually 2 or 3 of us there to do it. Half the time I was washing one of the boss's cars.

If you left us your car for the day it would get a lot of attention.

Worked for Xerox during the summers when I was in college about 30 years ago. Made about $8.00 an hour to keep the assembly line supplied with the parts they needed. Lots of overtime plus double time on Sat. and triple time on Sun. and holidays. Sundays and holidays were the best because the assembly lines wern't running so I would stock them up for the next day in a couple hours then goof off the rest of the day.

At ROSS their loss prevention people wear uniforms with bold "LOSS PREVENTION" on the backs. They just stand there by the entrance looking around.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have them in normal clothes roaming the store?

I think they're going more for the "if you know you're being watched, you probably won't steal anything" type of loss prevention. IMO it's more effective than having hidden cameras hoping you'll catch somebody.

Worked as a trading assistant on the Institutional Trading Desk here; great hours (6A-1P) and never any overtime, great pay at the time, good perks, and the work was dead easy, plus I learned a lot. Great times.
