LOL!

[Vermont Lt]

I just got to date the nieghbor’s daughter. Yes, she was “the farmer’s daughter.”

In hindsight, the money would have been better.

[ShadowDancer]

What a bunch of wusses. Mike Rowe for President!

LOL. I would vote for him in a minute.

“a tad warm”
For me, unloading bales of fiberglass in a metal quonset hut, Kansas in August. Very itchy, sweaty work.
Or hooking and bucking bales of hay in Wyoming: there was an occasional PO’d prairie rattler in the twine.
Peeling canvas filter covers from wire frames, for a gravel cleaning machine.
Jobs Mexicans wouldn’t do . . .

When did Hillary live in Alaska?

I was wondering that myself.

Illinois Sen. Barack Obama: Scooping ice cream at a Baskin-Robbins and eating too much of it.

Yikes! That's some people's best job!

Barry must have led a pretty sheltered life.

Still, the fact that in 45 years he didn't have time to come up with a better answer probably does illustrate that he probably hasn't been planning his campaign since kindergarten, like Hillary says about him.

What are some Freepers worst jobs?

Construction and/or startups of various small chemical plants for my dad over the years. In highschool I had to waterproof a two-foot wide absorber column from the inside with epoxy sealant outdoors during a typical Houston 100 degree summer. The fumes, well, you can guess.

Couple of years ago we were out in the boonies of Kentucky and Oklahoma starting up several small, solid adsorbent natural gas plants we'd built. Besides dealing with enough activated carbon dust to make me look like a miner, the customer on the Kentucky job overloaded the system sucking sump oil from the compressor throughout all the pipes. Given the remote location, the only way to flush out the system was to haul hundreds of buckets of water (which we mixed with paint thinner) by hand from a nearby stream, each time up a muddy 30-foot embankment about 70 degrees steep. In the OK job, I had to either chimney climb or lower myself headfirst on a ladder down inside a 12-foot high, 2-foot wide carbon vessel to install the bottom filters. No harnesses, of course, and as usual 100 degrees outside.

Fun stories to tell. (I always like to joke with my dad that I'm gonna rat him out to OSHA.:P) Nonetheless, the experience gained was great; I had more practical engineering knowledge that the rest of my classmates combined when I went back to school. I'm grateful for them. Oh, and Fred's answer was excellent.

Hehe, me too. The sewage he dealt with at that treatment plant is nothing compared to sewage coming out of the Capitol, though.

Illinois Sen. Barack Obama: Scooping ice cream at a Baskin-Robbins and eating too much of it.

I snorted at first when I read that, but now that I think about it, that's the perfect answer for the Oprah candidate.

Nobody knows the trouble he's seen.
Nobody knows, but Opraaaaaaah....

Hillary Clinton - “I was for fish-sliming before I was against it.”

[daylilly]

I believe it was ladies’ shoes he sold, they left something out there.

[daylilly]

I’ve had a lot of nasty jobs, worst was at a McDonalds on the days I had to take out the trash or dump the grease traps or walk through six inches of standing water to work...

A lot of freepers have really interesting job experiences, but I’ve got to vote for your experience.... Yours rates higher on the negative scale than even Romney’s.

[Argus]

According to The Washington Times, Hillary once told David Letterman her favorite summer job was sliming fish in Alaska.

And now she says it was the worst job she ever had. There's only one explanation:

IT'S THE ONLY JOB SHE EVER HAD.

What are some Freepers worst jobs?

Alaskan deep sea crab fisherman.

[cquiggy]

I can remember Hillarys appearance on Letterman. Best I remember about two days after the appearance it was discovered that she supplied the questions. Kind of like a CNN you tube debate.

[TheThirdRuffian]

Former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson: “. . . I can’t think of a job that I had that I wasn’t thankful for at the time.”

Classy answer.

[iowamark]

Arizona Sen. John McCain: "I've never really had a bad job."

It pays to be the admiral's son.

[cquiggy]

It was there in Alaska Where Hillary developed her love of fishy smelling things.

[Uncle Ivan]

What are some Freepers worst jobs?

Working at a seed plant during the summers in high school - running sweep augers in grain bins where the temp's literally 135. We could only stay in there twenty minutes at a time.

We also had to clean the soybean pits where there'd be a foot of maggots in the bottom, and you'd have to scoop them all out. Not to mention the smell in those was horrific. But like Fred, I was glad to have it and glad to be earning an honest paycheck.

What are some Freepers worst jobs?

I worked at a day care center for a year during college, in the afternoons after class. I had the 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 yr olds, and half of them were potty training at any given time. Oh Joy.
