IMO, the two worst jobs are retail and the food industry.

As for my background, I'm 25 yrs old and I haven't finished college for obvious reasons. I don't have that much experience and I was hoping this retail company would help me put my foot through the door.

I actually love working in food service. It's a fun job, very hands on and always in motion. I make alright money (around $15 an hour) but the amount of hours you get can be horrible. Yesterday the manager was trying to send my friend home after 1 1/2 hours. Come on. Now retail I wouldn't work at and my brother is a manager at a Forever 21 and he loves it.

Any job where you deal with low class people or shitty working conditions is bad. My first job was in a sweat shop working around tanks of deadly chemicals used for metal plating. I got promoted to working in a closed room with a yellow light working with paints with deadly fumes. On top of that I had to work ungodly hours without a break making 4 bucks an hour and happy to get it.

Another job was out in the open - fresh air and sunshine! Except I had to deal with drunk assholes and I'd still have to be outside whether it was 100 degrees or 25 degrees.

If that's not motivation to get a college degree and get legalized I don't know what is.
