I detassled corn one summer when I was 14. We didn't have a tractor. That's some hard fucking work right there.

Anyway, I know fast food restaraunts seem like they would be a bad place to work, but I've worked and Taco Bell and Wendy's and both rocked. You could go in stoned and no one cared unless you were on register, in which case you could go in stoned with a thing of visine.

We smoked pot there on a daily basis. Our 'cigarette' breaks consisted solely of walking to our cars and breaking out the one hitters. My manager would make me hit his flask all the time or make fun of me all day. ((He thought I hated drinking, just because I tell him I'd rather smoke pot. But man, free hard alcohol is free hard alcohol.))

It's really simple work too. And once you get into the groove of it, it's fast as hell. Plus, you get to laugh at customers who drive through alot. There were two buttons on the headset, A was for talking to the assholes and B was for talking to our buddies, as we learned on the first day of training. The assholes were the customers of course, and the buddies our fellow employees.

Yeah, the customers can be jerks, but that's the only downside of the job. ((besides low pay, but you're going to get the same pay pretty much whevever you work at 16.)) but if you don't let yourself get riled up the job is a blast. It's easy to not get riled up when you get to smoke throughout the day.
