  5. I used to work in the sports book industry. First as a clerk in wagering, after a few years I was managing one of the largest horse rooms in the industry...

    Upside, good money for dong nearly nothing... working 15 minutes out of every hour, at the most, except maybe saturdays...



    Downside, it was boring most of the time... pretty much got paid to chat and browse the web... plus I had to deal with stupid compulsive gamblers who thought that we where fixing races at mayor tracks to take their $2 bet...

    Good: the day rate and social's of team working

    Bad: the lack of challenge after 20 years of "same problem just different company"
