    Used to work on fishing boats out of Dutch Harbor, Ak before going getting into diving. Season started in November and ran through the winter. 8 hours on/4 hours off for 90 straight days on a contract.

    Definitely the best and the worst job i ever had.

          My worst - Probably back when I was 18 yrs old. My dad was a head hunter and put me to work with a company pulling Fiber Optic cable at the Texaco building in downtown Houston when it was completely gutted out. VERY unsafe atmosphere. I saw a welder fall 250 ft from an I-beam he was welding on. He didn't make it. Saw another guy fall off the top floor and onto the pavement below. If any of y'all know what building I'm talking about, you know that was a pretty good fall. 14 hr days 7 days a week for 3 months. All I did was run stairs all day pulling cable down the shoots. My dad broke me in pretty good fresh out of High School. lol

                          Worst: Hauling hay (square bales) during the summers as a teenager....especially when you are allergic to it! I had to wear long sleeve shirts everyday or my arms would break out. Couple that with the Texas heat...BRUTAL!!

                          Didn't take much of that to appreciate ANY other job!

                            My worst job was the first year of my current job, starting from scratch trying to build a business. My best job was my current job, 16 years later.

                                I guess I'm weird. For 3yrs I lived with my aunt and uncle during the summer. I thought hauling hay was great! At least until you grabbed a bail with a snake in it. We were throwing 90 pounders 3 high over the cab.
