Best gig you ever had

Curious to hear what some of you have experienced so far in your lifetime. 

Hey vet, hope you can stay dry.  Nothing will top the 1980's as far as I'm concerned.  Life was great.  Was 23 when I started working in a Teamster warehouse and it was the best gig I've had in my 61 years.  Money and benefits were outstanding and I was driving a new VW Scirocco and a new Yamaha 650.  Always had an 8-ball in one pocket and a Dime cash in the other.  With all my spending was still able to sack away a sh!tload of cash.  No way you can do that today, the Corporate Fukks™ have squeezed every dime out of the workers.  Sad thing is kids today in the working class have NO IDEA how bad they are getting fukked.

clearing out apts for a antique dealer and selling them on west 26st flea mkt ..like a boss 2-3 days a week ,1000s,1980s....and then bartending in a joint where i had free reign for a year.  ..early 90s.  dealing poker to blue class workers for a evening.     agree with goose on 8os and corp prix.100%.

Goose. Glad you were able to save some cash. Sounds like the 80s treated you well. Spent 15 years in the UAW. No idea where all the cash went. Then I met someone who taught me a little self control. Not a lot,but enough to start a 401 also back in the 80s and it did ok.

I was 18  she was mid thirties.

When I turned 16 in 2001, I got a job blowing up balloons at the local Party City from Sophomore year to April 2003 of my Senior year.  I worked with 2 of my good buddies earning baller loot! 

That’s right kids; $7.50 an hour!  That’s really good money because I didn’t have car expenses so most of it helped finance my booze and dro’ habit, hahaha.  Great time of my life and it was the easiest job I ever had.   I really loved high school.  Virtually no responsibility. 

Recently had a 3 week job rebuilding a water cooling tower paid 18 an hour 70 hour work week money was nice took home over a grand a week bought a nice ride for the girl friend Volvo s60 wish I could've done this for a couple of years. Up here non union carpenter is lucky to get 20 and a 40 hour week....

Me to Zeb-. I can relate. Early days.....couple a bucks in the tank,

From the age of 20-22 I was a bouncer at a popular bar for college students. So my job was to sit on a stool at the door looking at beutiful young ladies and IDs and met a ton of them that became booty calls. If I wasn't doing that I was throwing (escorting) people out and when need be getting physical and a cop was always there to have my back. Easy and fun gig, but I had to grow up and went back to college out of state.

In his youth he worked in a billiard club. It also had a bar in which some visitors drank too much. I had to see a lot of concerts, I had to be strong to stop it.

Into a great gig, housing a per day allowance and 14.56 an hour to construct a bridge with a brilliant team. 6 12 hours 72 time and a half after 40 and all expense paid package to the down east coast, for as they call , across the pond a working holiday .

Can someone translate for me please?

Booking bets for the local college in the late 90s. The kids had no clue what the hell they were doing and had an endless supply of cash from mommy and daddy
