One summer in college, I worked for a landscaping company. It was brutal – I was on the mulch team. Threw mulch for 60 hours a week in August – not ideal lol. My hands had gnarly blisters from handling the pitchfork

Probably landscaping it’s a hard job and your out in the summer heat blazing with no shade. At least in construction you have a bit of shade or can go in the basement at lunch etc. landscaping your just deadass right in the middle of the sun all day.

Unloading hay on a farm - with a work agency. Flaming killer it was. All for a poxy 90 quid a day. Seriously, im not built for hard labour - i got no meat on me lol.

Probably kitchen dishwasher for a big restaurant. Most dishes were quite big, (i’m short) so you’d carry them between cleaning them and putting them into the dishashwing machine and then take it to the kitchen for use.

Edit: this was my most calm job, I held it for a year and half after first diagnosed. In some ways I miss the simplicity of it and also how much shape it kept me in. unlike sales work or studies

Maybe most humiliating job was cleaning beach.

You are there at 4am,got plastic bags and without gloves clean beach from condoms and syringes… You stay at 45°C fully dressed and wait for lazy boss to add some new assignment.. At 4:30 pm you are free to go if boss says so.

Unloading 2-3 trucks a week for four years at Sears. Refrigerators, washers and dryers, tool chests, miter saws, gas grills, lawn mowers, water heaters, weight sets, furniture, stoves, and bicycles, were some of the heavier objects we unloaded.

Delivery agency for furniture and kitchen appliances like refrigerators etc.

Got to see some crazy stuff to when you get inside peoples home like that. I remember a couple of apartments that looked like they hadn’t been washed for years. The kitchen was revolting.

Job lasted 3 months before I moved on.
