Tell us about the horrible job you did before starting affiliate marketing (or while affiliate marketing). I thought of this post topic because I'm currently engaged in ebay selling after a long time away to move along stuff, and it's bringing back bad memories. Thank god for scuzzy rebills! :drinkup:

Were you a burger flipper, a prostitute, a toilet bowl scrubber? Do tell.

I would say my toughest penny came from working as a mystery shopper. :crying:
 


Civil Engineer in the Air Force: One time I was knee deep in shit (literally, that's not slang) while undergoing mortar fire... Plenty of other "fun" jobs during that time of my life.

I've had some other shitty jobs, I don't think I can top that one though.

I've had lots of shitty jobs. Granted, most of them were in high school.

Bailing hay was probably the worst. Standing on a rack in the middle of the summer picking up and stacking 60lb bails for 8-10hrs straight every day. Then, stacking that shit in a barn about 5 feet from a metal roof. Temperature had to be at least 110+ inside the barn on most days. Then throw in assloads of dust in the air to the point where you can't breathe or see. I did that for 3 entire summers.
 
full-time programmer and designer for a (failed) "super affiliate" for 1.5 years.

i think my worst job was working at panera bread when i was 16, which wasn't really that bad except when i had to wash dishes.
 
Server at Dennys during college. Need I say more?

EDIT: Actually the worst job I ever had was being a doorwoman at the dorm. I was supposed to only let in the people that lived there from 11am-5am. Trying to stay awake all night and then through classes sucked. But it was kinda cool cause I got to know everyone in the Dorm (mixed sex dorm) and people would come down at random times and keep me company, play cards or we would just have great conversations.
 
The summer after my 8th grade year I worked for Wendy's making sammiches. I quit that job after nine months.

After a bit, I went back, but labor laws had changed so I couldn't get a job again until I was 16. When that happened, I worked for Arby's ruining my complexion over the deep fryers and working the cash registers.

After a little over a year of that, I went to work at a Meijer bagging groceries and lassoing carts. I eventually was promoted to cashier.

Then I went off to college and got a summer internship doing technical support and training for a hospital. While at school I did desktop technical support for our Physics department for two years, and then got a job doing outsourced web hosting server support for another two and a halfish years.

I'm quitting this job in a month, and then I'm a grad student.
 
Hardee's (fast food, pretty much the same as Carl's Junior) for several years. Flinging burgers is a hell of way to make a buck.

Of course, that was high school age. The consulting job I have has had it's crappy moments - like 3 AM Sunday morning conference calls every week for months on end.
 
Customer Service / Tech Support jobs for... MCI, Worldcom, Fairfield, American Express, Chase, Bank One, Allsat (Dish Network / DirecTV), Pacific Bell, West, Sunrocket... and a handful of others.

One cool job I had for a while was the tour guide / jeep driver for Fantastic Caverns.
 
I was a professional "fluffer' on a porn set.

I did a really good job until one day last year, a new actor came in. He was small and had a dinky little Q-shaped cock. He kept on saying the dumbest fucking things.

One day, I finally had enough when he said "money hoes cars clothes" for the 99th time that day I just said "Ryan, I'm gone. Get hard by yourself", and I left.
 
my hardest job was working in Alaska. I worked for a sport fishing company up there, i worked about 120 to 130 hours a week. but my worst job ever was working for Bayliner, i worked in the lam dept, in other words i made the fiberglass deck side shell. that job blew balls.
 
Street hustler, Disneyland attractions host, film + tv extra, record label bitch, home depot drone.

I also once had a job going around from business to business and putting "push" and "pull" stickers on their doors. Luckily I was out and about on my own so I would just go home, get the appropriate business names and addresses of the area I was supposedly working and write them down on my clipboard and then sleep for the rest of my shift.

Edit: I still work seasonally for my family's lobster fishing biz, but I enjoy it and I insist on being paid in lobsters.
 
I once did Affiliate Marketing for a living.
