I have a "pathetic job", as a telecanvasser for a double glazing company. I'm only on £5 an hour, but commission is UNCAPPED meaning you could earn as much extra as you want if you work for it (£10 PP under 10, £20 PP over 10).
I get to chose every week how many hours I work, nothing is set in stone. I get 4 weeks holiday a year, but can take a day off whenever I need it.
Plus, I work in a room mostly full of FIT girls. Oooo yer.
Above all, I enjoy my job. I wouldn't work there if I didn't.
