Almost all of my jobs have been shitty. Ironically though, the lowest paying job I've had in the past 10 years was probably the best. I was a tour guide at a museum making $9/hr. Pay was awful, but being able to leisurely walk through the museum, educate people on little known facts etc was great.

Most of my jobs have been call centers of one kind of another. I worked in a call center for a charity, in house. The work sucked but I felt good bcuz charity. Mostly just taking new credit card info over the phone and some data entry. 60-70 calls a day but they were easy. Still sucked

Then I did cold calling for a tech company. Sucked but pay was okay.

But then I worked in Technical Support for a company that provides support for rural ISPs
This was just last year
