We like to complain about work: jerk bosses, horrible coworkers, low pay. Yet statistics show that most people are quite happy with the jobs they have. In fact, a global survey has found in 2022 that eight in 10 people who work either for a company or for themselves enjoy the work they do. In the U.S., only half of workers say they're extremely or very satisfied with their job.
Based on job satisfaction and meaning, the most popular careers are in the agriculture, health, construction, and education sectors. At least that's what data shows. But what does the Internet have to say about this? One netizen wanted to find out, so they asked other Redditors: "What's the best job you've ever had?"
People shared all kinds of stories, from poorly paid but low-maintenance and stress-free jobs to some really wholesome, community-building positions in fast-food restaurants. And what about you, Pandas? What's the best job you've ever had? Let us know in the comments, and don't forget to upvote your favorite entries!

Beer cart at a golf course. Tips, everyone was happy to see you, nice weather. Easiest, most fun job I've ever had.
emmy_lou_harrisburg: I made $18k in 2001 in 3 months as a caddy cart girl. I... was able to pay my junior year of college tuition in cash.
"I would park under a tree, smoke a doobie, and read a magazine. Cash only and I did my own inventory. That job was the best.
