21 Jobs That Secretly Rule

‘Easiest, most fun job I’ve ever had’
21 Jobs That Secretly Rule

As a philosopher once said, “If it wasn’t work, they wouldn’t call it work. They’d call it super wonderful crazy fun time.” Sure, some people win the occupational lottery and get to play video games all day or sit around doing whatever they want until the briefest of obligations arises, but unless you happen to luck out, it’s all a slog.

You can luck out in ways you might have never imagined, though. Like, no one considers “janitor” or “receptionist” a dream job, but under the right circumstances, they can rival “ice cream taste tester.” Reddit proved that when user surferguy411 asked r/AskReddit, “What’s the best job you’ve ever had?”

Particular_Walrus_85 . 1y ago Tour guide at a brewery. Met so many cool people. Was paid to talk about beer, and to drink on the clock.

FiguringThingsOut- .  1y ago Preschool teacher. I got to teach little kids skills, play with them, and be creative and plan fun lessons. If it paid more I'd still be doing it but it's undervalued as a profession.
BagelCatSprinkles . 1y ago Worked at an animal shelter. Looked after cats. Cleaned the cages. Their litters. Changed out what needed to be changed out. I loved it. Sometimes messy but I was happy.
Wenger2112 . 1y ago Camera operator for live sports in the USA. Stressful but fun. Nice getting paid $500 a day to be on the sidelines or courtside.
 1y ago Fireman in a small town. Had free wifi, free food, pool table and dart board, only 1 fire happened in the 7 months I worked there.
MrLittle237. 1y ago I teach personal finance at a credit union. | get to help people understand money and don't have any pressure to sell anything. It's awesome
Technicolor_Reindeer . 1y ago Museum aid at the Smithsonian Natural History museum. Got to see the storage center where most of the collections are housed. Amazing stuff most of the public won't ever see.
Jimidasquid . 1y ago Definitely Roller Coaster operator at Cedar Point. Grinding cars full of humans to a halt on a dime became an art form. I found so much weed and stash on that ride during walkdowns it funded my entire drunken youth.
Silky_Smooth . 1y ago 12 years old. Worked at a Hawaiian shaved ice place in a summer town. Learned to talk to people (girls), be chill, learned a lot about reggae music. Mostly wish I could do that now as a job.
CloverLandscape . 1y ago My current work. I work as many hours I want as a landscaper in Norway. I make 60k a year (8 months of work) plus benefits and I have 4 months off in the winter where I spend my time in the Philippines.
Older_cyclist . 1 1y ago Manager of communications for regional airline. Flew to every airport we had service to install or upgrade computers. Maintained reservations center. Got to fly damn near free, first class whenever I traveled.
djhamilton . 1y ago Classical car restoration is the most fulfilling and satisfying job ever! You get to see a rusty old car transform into a beautiful purring machine, from start to finish. And the best part? No stress, no complications, and no strict deadlines!
ExPristina . 1y ago Tesco in store bakery. 4am-12pm shift. Baking (and tasting) doughnuts and pastries, radio on full blast, not a single customer or manager to interrupt you and the smell of fresh bread.
PostNutAffection . 1y ago Redfin I used to open doors and say This is the living room This is the kitchen and I was paid well. My best month was 13k and I was paid per showing they scheduled.
STROKER_FOR_C64 1y ago Work from home. Accounting. I no longer have to deal with office culture or transit. I can blast music, watch TV, listen to podcasts. So long as I get the work done, I could be covered in olive oil and jerking off to clown porn for all my boss cares.
Cr1m1nal_Int3nt . 1y: ago Anesthesia Technician in a Operating Room. I got to help helpless patients, advocate for them when they went under anesthesia, watch all kinds of surgeries, and got to bounce questions off people a hell of a lot smarter than me. It was a great stepping stone into the medical field when I was young and figuring out what I wanted to do. God I miss that job!
Beginning_Way9666 . 1y ago I used to do bottle service at a nightclub lounge off the strip in Vegas. This was right as things were opening up after covid. The amount of pent up people with money ready to have fun was amazing. I made so much fucking money and people were just so excited and happy to be out and having a good time, literally throwing cash around and getting hammered. Great music, great money, great vibes.
Few_Butterscotch_969 1y ago Working at the reception desk of a small childcare company. I loved getting to talk with the children and their parents and see all the different families that would come in every day. My favorite moment was watching this very small little boy with huge glasses wait eagerly by the doorway. A large, heavily tattooed and imposing man walked in the door, and the little guy's face absolutely lit up. The man picked up his son and twirled him around, beaming like he had just won the lottery. I think their family dynamic and custody arrangement was
 1y ago Custodial work for a textbook distributor. My one and only job was to empty waste baskets in the offices. It was an 8 hour shift, and I had gotten my routine down so well I could finish my work in 3 hours. I would sit in the CFO'S office and read, I would take naps in conference rooms, just generally fuck around for 5 hours. My supervisor resented my position, as she also supervised production, so as long as she never heard complaints, I was completely out of sight out of mind. Occasionally I would be seen
buckeyemountain e 1y ago I've said this before. When I was a teenager I worked at Kings Island (just north of Cincinnati,Ohio) I worked at a ride called White Water Canyon. There's a little shack out in the woods where it overlooks the ride and you can blast people with a water cannon. It was my favorite job, if I could do it for the rest of my life I would. I'd sit out there in a secluded booth with snacks and blasting people with water. What else could be better? I don't know, I don't think there is a
