1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Boring job that paid well. If I have money I can entertain myself perfectly well the 16 hours a weekday and 48 hour weekends. I never felt like I had to have a lot of ‘fun’ at work. I worked as a machine operator in a food factory for 20 years. It left me time to think and plan and daydream at work, and basically retire at 50. Stimulating? Cooking in restaurants was stimulating, low paying, and I largely hated it. I worked with juvenile delinquents for a couple years, and might have eventually become good at it if the facility had not closed. I wasn’t great at it because I was young and idealistic and had too much empathy for the kids. It was low paying, though!
