What Was Your Worst Job?
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.
We’ve all had them. Jobs that made us cry. Jobs we dreamt about quitting with our middle fingers flying in the air. Jobs that made us wonder what on earth we were doing with our lives.
We asked our Twitter followers to share their worst jobs with us. The usual suspects were there — retail, fast food, door-to-door sales. And then there was the guy that worked at a commercial laundry where the boss described the job as “taking farts out of sheets.”
Below are some of our favorites. Tweet #WorstJob at us if you haven’t already commiserated with your fellow Tweeters.
