Default Re: What low paying job did you have before poker?(or still have)

This was well before (forbidden OOT word), but I think it qualifies as one of the worst.

I worked for the State of NM Parks and Recreations. It was a cool job, usually, just collecting money from people who wanted to be on the lake for the day or whatever.

Every tuesday (and occassionally thursday) though absolutely sucked.

Portajohn cleaning day. We had a huge old piece of junk "suck truck" we used to clean the portajohns. The smell. Aw man. I didn't know going in I'd be doing that, or I would have sought employment elsewhere. But for a 16 year old kid in 1990, $8 an hour was pretty good. An arguement could be made that $8/hr isn't enough pay for that job, but it taught me an important life lesson:

Cleaning portajohns is a horrible way to make money.

We also had an outbreak of the "mad shitter". UGH.
