My last job was working as a security guard at an indian casino.
The perks? I was absurdly overpaid considering my experience and what I was expected to do. Also, sometimes they let me sit and read when guarding certain posts. Mostly not, but sometimes. Oh, the coffee was free. Horrible, but free. Let's see... I got to carry a nifty 2-way and listen to people say stupid or funny things on it. I also got to wear a uniform that made my shoulders look ripped. And since I worked the graveyard shift, my bosses were always really laid back. As in, they didn't care. About anything. So that was cool. For a while, too, I got to work with some friends of mine, but they all left for better jobs. Also, there's the authority. It's mostly imaginary, but there's power in a uniform. When I told somebody to do something, especially an employee, they had to do it. Customers? Not so much.
If for some reason I could never go to college, I'd still be there. It was a living wage... those are hard to find without a degree.
Now I'm a student. It's not a job, which is the major perk. No more long nights of terrible coffee, trying to stay alert and pretending that I had some sort of authority. I almost miss it. Almost.
