What is the best and worst job you've ever had? I'm not asking about money, I'm talking about the actual work experience.
Without a doubt, my personal favorite was running a small bookstore up in the mountains, in a small resort town. I especially loved snowy winter days when hardly anybody came in the store. I didn't make much money, but I got to hang out all day and read stuff, drink coffee, and listen to music, while looking out the big windows at the snow coming down. That was in the days before the internet, and a bookstore was the very best place to learn all kinds of things about all kinds of subjects, in addition to reading entertaining fiction.
Second place goes to bartending at a golf club. It was the opposite of the bookstore; social rather than quiet and introspective. I didn't do that nearly as long as the bookstore job.
