Before the job I have now, I was a cleaner in a primary school. That was the worlds cushiest job.
It was paid for by the council, so whenever it was a hoilday, I wouldn't have to go in. Just paid a set amount every month. I was paid to do two hours of cleaning too, and I could get it done in an hour, so I ended playing with the kids things, or drawing on the chalkboard in the cleaners cupboard.

Now I work in a nightclub. On the face of it, it's pretty shitty. Having to deal with drunk people when you're on the bar or the floor is a pain in the ass, as well as picking up broken bottles, cleaning up vomit and occasionally unblocking a shitty toilet. I generally don't get home until 4 in the morning.
On the flip side, I work with the nicest people on the face of the earth. It's very much an 'all for one' atmosphere and we have a stupid amount of fun during and after work. Many a time when it's not busy, i've been involved in a dance off, or a hearty game of "balls" (a game in which you pretty much molest a co-worker, while shouting the name of what we've groped, i.e "balls!" "Boob!" "minge!"). I've also made friends with of lot of customers, which is a bonus, though i've not played 'balls' with any of them.
And there's an Alternative night on a monday, so it's not horrific music all week through.

I would definitely reccomend working in an pub/club. If anything, it makes you a whole lot more confident, and a hell of a lot more resilient to gross things.

I work as a paintball marshall, which I guess sounds cool. What it means is that I occasionally get shot while I herd around small kids who forget the rules every round. It's usually a really relaxed job though (except around the extremely high pressure air tanks), so the atomsphere makes it bareable. Plus I already knew half the staff when I started working there.

Story: myself and some friends went paintballing there recently and my friend said he was tempted to jump over the campfire we have. The manager said "go for it" so he ran full pelt and leaped over it. Unfortunately so did another of our friends, from a different direction. They collided mid-air and landed in the fire.

negative creep:
I work at a pub, which is cool because it is the pub I've been going to once a week (at the very least) since a few years. Basically it means that I get paid to get drunk (and all I drink while I'm working is free).
