back in college i worked at a local restaurant in the kitchen. i loved making my own food. crab imperial FTW 
it was privately owned. the owner was always messed up on coke so he would pass out upstairs or even leave. we had a run of the place. we'd get blazed out back allll night and drink like fishes after the kitchen closed. since a couple of us there were friends, including the bartender we'd stay till at least 4am some nights to get shitfaced for free 
.
oh and plenty of free 6er's for the road too

Best Salary: My current job, where I get paid to tell other people what to do with their money.
Most Entertaining: McDonalds at age 15. Learned the basics of business, and how stupid many people really are. Mcdonalds is like the kindergarten of businesses, in that no one inside the restaurant has an IQ above 89, and yet each franchise still makes millions. I learned a lot from that. I also sat inside the walk-in refrigerator eating cookie dough and pealing the game pieces off of cardboard cups.
Easiest job: Like one poster above, I also used to test video games for a living, during my first year of college. Easy job, lots of hours, lots of overtime, casual dress, completely dead end job, but hey, it was my first year of college.

^ we stole one of those blue light covers that are on the outside of buildings by the emergency phones.... somehow it just happen to screw into the light in our walk-in at the resturant where I worked.... so we left it there... the owners thought it was funny....
everyone is so uptight these days.... things need to be fun like they were in college.... maybe there are still fun jobs like that????

Best job I ever had was an internship at a law firm one summer about 6-7 years ago. Got to work on some interesting cases, had free snacks etc., and spent the large majority of the summer playing the lemonade stand game on the computer

I also enjoyed working at McDonald's in high school. Great job, worked with lots of my friends and had a blast every day. Sometimes it would get busy and we would hunker down and compete to see who could put out the most food. Otherwise it was all fun and games

Best job: F4C pilot in the AF. The most fun I've ever had in my life.
Next best job: Now. I own and run an environmental services firm. I solve people's environmental problems, learn something new every day, get to play in the dirt with big toys -- and get paid for it, and am doing something positive for Mother Earth.
