shitty jobs

hey, so i'm looking for a shitty job that pays pretty decent...
and so far i could only think of jobs that are in the construction industry, like either cleanup or general labourer...
what other industries or places would offer a shitty job with good pay?

The food industry sucks. Overworked underpaid.
Whereas warehousing would be underworked overpaid. Do it for a couple months, get seniority, and you'll be calling shots instead of doing anything.

Warehouse jobs usualy are decent paying gigs but you start at the botom of the barrel and really got to put in the time to work your way up the ladder.

But once your up there and in a union....it gets very slack!

I worked in a plastic part production plant in Langley the summer of 2007. I was just going into Grade 10 at the time, and my mom hooked me up with a job that was $10.02 an hour STARTING. RIDICULOUS wages for someone my age at the time. The heat of the place sucked, but the work was pretty easy, if you have some heat/poking tolerance in your hands.

Now I make 2 bucks less working Crappy Tire's parts department, but I'm on the hunt to try to work at a garage on weekends.

WAS at Surrey/Whalley. But they never gave me a uniform, and I never committed. So I technically quit, and now I'm doing the latter from my last post in here.
