Hey Pandas, What’s One Job You Did That You Are Not So Proud Of, For Some Extra Cash?
Sometimes we are in need of some money and decide to try to make some, however, we are not so proud of the work we did, tell us about that job and we will decide whose work was the funniest. One rule: Nothing indecent.

Not ashamed at all, however i have worked jobs most dont want to hear abt. I am a plumber by trade. I worked in a county morgue for a while. Besides fishing out feminine products and wet wipes from toilets the Dr's didnt understand that biomedical material doesnt fit down autopsy table drains. Bone, organs, tissue, you name it ive seen it and handled it.
Have done crime scene cleanup. That wasnt bad except the living families and friends. You would be surprised how many "loved" ones want to see the blood and gore.
3rd and final. Collected biohazard material in a hospital. Boxed it up and loaded a semi trailer for burning.
Obviously i have a strong stomach. Ive found if Im willing to do work most can not or will not deal with i can make money. And i have been able to tell someone "hey you missed a piece of skull over there."
Humor is needed. I take my work seriously no matter what. Everytime i work these jobs someone has just died in usually horrible ways and the family will never be the same. For better or worse is not my place to judge.

Private tutor for English to Korean Adults.
I am not trained to do this but am smart enough to come up with my own practice exercises based off a song from "The Sound of Music" and practicing English while looking in a mirror. Was paid $15 per hour, which for a college student in Illinois not wanting to work an official job, is decent money.

No such job. I'm proud of everything I did, as all jobs were honest, legal work.

The first time I was young and desperate, the second time I was just desperate. Advertisements, I made advertisements for clients in magazines and social media. Overconsumption and greed destroy us and it went against my principles and it made me unhappy, but without money there is no food and no roof. I'm going to hell for this, but I managed social media accounts for others for a while. Although most of them were artists or organizations, I'm not completely rotten, am I?

A bit of the opposite here, I did a job that many in society say I should be ashamed of, but I am completely unashamed about. When I was in university and for a couple of years after, I worked as a nude model. The first time I did it was for a friend who was a photography student needing a model who would pose nude for free. I really enjoyed doing that and found that I could make a decent amount of money doing it. I started off working as an artists model and photography model for art groups, art classes and camera clubs etc. I then got asked to do shoots for certain magazines and then websites. Most of the shoots I did were nude art but there were some shoots that were overtly pornographic. I don't regret or feel ashamed for doing it and I mostly enjoyed it as well as earning enough to be able to afford my own flat while studying and not have to take out huge loans to cover my tuition and expenses.

For a short while, I worked at a telemarketing company. They listed the job as "customer service representative". It was a legitimate business but swindled people and falsely advertised the job position. I stayed because we needed money and I didn't have a lot of work experience, which made it super hard to find a job. My interview skills sucked and resume was outdated, and I didn't know how to fix it.
I hardly tried to do my job. Pretty sure the lady who was saying there were strange people in front of her house she was afraid of was bullshitting me, but I just listened to her and treated it like I was a 911 operator. Every week I was told to go to the "disciplinarian meetings" for not reaching the theft.. I mean "sales" quota. These were unpaid meetings held after work. It ended up costing me $20 in late fees for the daycare. The manager would literally stand in everyone's way and block you from leaving. When I felt we were okay, I just stopped going to work. Didn't say I quit or anything. It was day 2 when they started calling me but I just ignored their calls. Felt pretty good. No regrets. They tried not giving me my T4 slip for taxes. Illegal. I reported them and they got in a bit of s**t from Canada Revenue Agency.
