Does anybody else have a best, worst job you've ever had? A job that absolutely crushed you, but looking back you're like "man, that was a really valuable even though I wish it went differently" 😩😩😩 I was an aide while in the Army and worked 15 hour days for a year, but damn I fr got an education on people.

Management consulting for me. Work itself was meh, but learned a baseline set of skills of how to work and discovered where my limits were on working in a day / week / month

We’re you an aide in a deployed situation or on the home front? Either way, I’m sure it was intense & thank you for your service!

Grocery store can teach you a lot. I was the cart guy where I worked with a bunch of ex-cons, druggies, etc. Then got moved into the cashier role where you have to basically chat people up for 5 mins at a time to make your day go by. Both pretty crappy low paying jobs that taught me a lot about people.

I had to work full-time while in graduate school. Insanely exhausting. But: almost zero student loans :)

I worked as a waiter, great experience but I don’t think it’s sustainable long term

I was a Nextel store manager during the disastrous Sprint acquisition. That was ROUGH, but it taught me so much about finding solutions in difficult sitautions. And how to work with people, especially very angry people.
