my coolest job (this summer) was/is sitting on my ass all day in front of the computer playing poker. I obviously haven't had many jobs in my life.

It was all I could afford.

i worked at a golf course when i was 14 - 21 summer months only -- winter and school


one of the years i was the night waterman, hours were from about 9pm to 6am --- and if it looked like rain i wouldnt have to go in, or if i thought it looked like rain

they were working on the sprinkler system -- so only one nine had automated sprinklers so my job was to set those up and manually change the front nine -- so every hour i had to switch the sprinklers which took me about 15 mins

i had full access to the club house, have a few beers cook some chicken strips, watch tv -- usually play a couple rounds on golden tee -----

---- the alarm company would call if the alarm wasnt set by 3am -- and i just had to answer and let them know i was working that night ---- one of the times i was sleeping at the bar on a stool ---- the phone rang and i hopped down and my legs had fallen asleep -- fell right on the ground

fun job --- free golf with cart to


cheers

I was the doorman at a bar during college in a major college town. You can get ass, and bribes being a doorman.

I then moved on to being a bartender. More ass less bribes.

Last summer I welded full time. I worked with some of the craziest meth heads. Atleast once a week something crazy happened.

The best was when one of the meth heads forgot to tie down the 500+ pound, $7000 welder in the back of the company truck, and we're cruising along Colfax in the middle of heavy Denver traffic, and BAM there she goes. Breaks the tailgate and goes tumbling across the lanes. Fun times.

Also these guys would usually come to work with hangovers, and to cure that they'd drink in the mornings. So if we were on our way to a jobsite we would drive through the liquor store and get a few beers to drink before work.

Behind that, 16-19...cooking BBQ. Lots of drinking on the job, and damn good pay for my age.

Camp counselor. Unforgettable white water canoeing and mountain climbing. Tons of fun and exercise. Building up kids' confidence during the day. Drinking, smoking, and getting laid by hot female counselors at night. Ok, not so much getting laid, but some.

It was either working as an environmental activist, (gettting paid to break laws and go to jail while doing something you believe in is pretty cool), or being paid to play golf.

If I could do one of those again right now, it would be the golf. Not sure I could handle the activist groupies anymore, but gawd they were great 20 yrs ago /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Damn ninja bumbers, but ok I'll bite.

It's a toss up between commercial fisherman and Marine Combat Correspondent.

Combat Correspondent is the best job in the Marines. You show up for the fun stuff, only do the actual fun stuff, and leave before the clean up begins. I got to do a lot of really cool stuff with a lot of different units. Plus a lot of unit commanders kiss your ass to get their name in the base paper.

Commercial fisherman - We'd go out for a week or so. Spend all day out in the sun drinking and fishing then eat like kings at night. At the end of the trip, we'd go sell the fish for cash, have a big roll in our pockets and spend the next 3 or 4 days spending the money partying, then back out again.

Good times.

After getting my degrees in Computer Engineering and Computer Science my first job was at a large computer hardware/software maker. They were just getting into the Unix workstation biz. Not PCs. High end Silicon Graphics and some early Sun systems. I got paid to play.

They wanted cool graphics stuff like solid modeling, virtual environments, and similar flashy things to display at various industry tradeshows to show people what the new technology could do. This was back in the mid-late 80s. Serious hardware graphics engines were just hitting the market. I got 2 $75,000 systems to work with at any given time. One for working at the company and one for home to simply play.

I would take hardcore math for modelling/ray tracing/whatever from the supercomputers (Cray mostly but the early connection machines as well) and crank the data through various libraries on the workstations with my graphics development. Did VR, Nuke simulation, weather simulation, real time 3D models (cars for Detroit and airplanes for Boing, Northrop, and Lockeed) ... Man that was fun. Getting paid to develop the coolest [censored] I could think of. Then showing it off and wowing people.

Well the early ones were room heaters and sucked lots of juice, I lived in an apartment with utilities covered by rent. But I'm sure I cost the landlord bucks on that. I also would have been able to expense stuff rather than take the hit myself. If it came to that.

I got to rip down a 200 foot barn with an excavator. Then I got to burn it. The burning took about two weeks, each night my friends would come out and be "fire spotters" for me while we had beers. They got paid $10/hour to stand around massive bonfires and drink, I got paid $5k + expenses for two weeks of "work."
