RE: cool jobs now, but?
Ive done the hay thing off and on, Ive been a laborer for brick masons (my dad, as well as other outfits), Ive worked in an archery shop, Ive done wetland delineation (PITA in the summer with all the things that like to bite you and suck ur blood and poke u and stick u and sting u in the summer, winter was GREAT), but the WORST job Ive had was a fry cook in a local BBQ place. I HATED THAT WITH A PASSION!

I dont see what is so bad about stacking hay or general farm labor. I love doing it, but I grew up doing it. Heck, I even get paid $15 an hour helping out the neighbors too.

Working at a public lake in college. I would sit around and sell people passes to take the boats out on the water. I would also empty out the trash cans.........I would get so bored I would take out the axe and throw it at trees from various distances. I could throw an axe like Bravehart by the end of the summer!

I worked at a football helmet factory. My job was to melt a serial # inside the plastic helmets. All I did was open a box, remove the helmet, stamp it with a machine and box it back up. Did about 11-12 pallets a night. Nothing like the smell of melting plastic to remind me how much I hated that job.

Picking up the trash on a jobsite, in the summer. I would sit around all day in the heat just doing whatever the crew asked and when the end of the day came I had to go around and pick up all of the trash that was thrown on the ground, mostly shingles. Worked three months and got just enough money to buy a Browning BPS, but I was only 12.

RE: cool jobs now, but?
garbage truck wasn't so bad, except when we did chinatown.
landscaping was OK, except in my allergy season.
CAD operator was probably the worst, 50hrs a week under florescent lights staring at a computer screen is not my thing.
