Being a father.
Worked at an Aluminium Foundry with my Dad and brother when they had a lot of work on.
The pay was great (coming home with £750 per week after tax) and the lads i worked with were absolutely mad but my god the work was hard and the hours long (12 hours a day working in hot conditions) but that pay packet made me smile.

That's low man, Just because Nix can't have kids you have to put the boot in
I wasnt aware of that so accept my apology.
I was just saying that I have had a variety of jobs from mechanic to teacher. But nothing in employment has change me as a person.
However having the job as a parent which I did do for full time as a house husband was far more rewarding and demanding than full time employment which is often easy come easy go.

Thanks for letting us all know.
Yeah, me too. Apart from getting pushed over a wall by a group of older kids it was amazing.
A local milkman always used to try and run me over with his milk float, I've no idea why but it made my round challenging and fun when he spotted me lol
Hardly a 'job' though is it?
Paper rounds were definitely the best for me. Early morning one (0630-0730) and an afternoon one straight after school. Smashing around on my BMX with the earphones in and not a care in the world. No tax. No NI. It was excellent!
You've obviously never had kids or spend a lot of time at households with kids. And by kids i mean less than 3 or 4 year old where they need constant care and attention.
Assistant Transport Manager for NHS. (I love the NHS style to appoint 'managers' wherever they can).
It was a breeze. Went in, revolutionised their systems. Turned 3 days of work into 3/4 of a day.
Spent the rest of the time spinning around on my seat.
Got paid a fortune for it.
