Best Job: Working at the California School For The Blind as an assistant. Helped kids learn music and computers during the week. On the weekends, we went to the waterslides, and I had to help them in. Overtime for going down waterslides FTW!!!

 

The best job I missed: My friend and I were offered to work as bouncers at a "party." My friend went I didn't. Found out it was a playboy party.

 

I've only had 1 job so far, and I'll say that it was far from being a good job. I worked at this Japanese restaurant for over 2 years, and there were so much drama going on, and the management sucks. The only positive thing about it was I met some new people, but that was it...

 

I would have to say when I was commercial fishing (hook & line for Snapper & Grouper) for a couple of years off the East Coast from Cape Hatteras, NC to Cape Canaveral, Florida. Didn't make the most money but I really enjoyed living out on the ocean for a week to ten days at a time, eventhough I was in some hellacious storms.

Job number would have been my job as a projectionist operating the old Simplex E-35 machines...got paid for each showing of a movie, not an hourly but a flat fee. Not bad job for a stoner at the time.

 

I love my job now! Well, Ive had 2 great jobs in my life. One was working at the airport as a ramp agent, then now I work at the shipping ports here in downtown Long Beach, CA dealing with import and exporting, great $!!!

 

I like my current job - I work for motor trend. I'm a video producer for the website. Basically I get to drive all the latest and greatest cars before they come out, shoot video of them, edit it, and throw it up on the website. Life is good

oh and I worked at the wild animal park in san diego after graduating high school - got to feed giraffes all day.

 

thats awesome to work for motor trend! what cars have u driven? Any bad ass Supras?

 

A few buddies and I all got hired to work at a new Marshalls store that was opening in our town. We basically opened and ran that place. We spent most of our time drinking at my dads the night before, and then spending 8 hours opening boxes of shoes, trying our best not to hurl on all the new merchandise. To this day, all the managers know all of us on a first name basis (this was about 4 years ago) and they give us jobs whenever we want.

 

Yup - it's fun! Haven't driven any badass supras - we mostly drive newer production cars. Things that I have driven lately:

Lexus LS600HL - talk about smooth and refined! Lots of cool gadgets to play with on the interior like massagers, rear seat recliners, etc.

Mazda MX-5 Hardtop - if only honda would make an s2000 with a top like this. Quite an amazing design. Folds down in only 12 seconds and doesn't take up and trunk room.

Porsche 997 GT3 - No words can describe how supremely awesome this car is.

Lotus Exige S - Like driving a go kart.

Mercedes ML63 - Scary fast SUV. Passing power on the freeway is mind-bending, but I can't really understand why anyone would want that much power in an SUV - get E63 wagon instead

BMW M5 - The V10 is to die for in that car. A few too many technical intricacies on the interior. The idrive is confusing and the SMGIII is sadly disappointing. But that engine makes up for everything

Mazdaspeed3 - Great bargain - so much power and in a very attractive package. The torque steer was a bit much though.

2008 Subaru WRX - Didn't get to drive it, but did a photoshoot with one. Not much of a fan of the 4 door but I thought the 5 door looked great. They're gonna sell a boat load of these. Can't wait for the STi

Mitsubishi EVO X prototype - Didn't get to drive this one either, but I love the style. Interior was top notch and the performance is gonna be outstanding.

2007 Ford Crown Vic Police Car - Man, that thing is fun. Just cruise down the freeway and EVERYONE gets out of your way. I loved playing with the lights and sirens...a boyhood fantasy come true

Bugatti Veyron - Sadly I didn't get to drive this one, but I got to go for a highspeed run on an empty airfield with Bugatti's official driver - an ex F1 driver. It's almost surreal how quiet and composed this car is. Off the line it barely squeeks its tires, but the power comes on like a tidal wave. A really big huge mindblowing tidal wave. The acceleration was so fierce I started feeling dizzy - same feeling you get when you go down hill on a very steep rollercoaster, but the sensation doesn't stop until you're going 200.

That's what I've been in recently that I can think of. Sorry for the long post - I think I rambled on a bit too much

 

Damn Jimbo I want your job! You should post more reviews of cars you drive.

My favorite job was working B52 Bomber crew training support when I was in the Air Force. I work with commercial pilot training now - great job but not as much fun.
