I've had a few odd jobs before 'settling' as a software developer but while I appreciate the experience and diversity and sometimes think back on the simplicity of at least one of them, I don't really consider them the best jobs. I did a paper round (6 days a week, took about an hour), manufacturing (most brain-turn-off job ever), scaffold building (heaviest job, also because it was the height of summer), DIY store floor work (great part time job to do alongside an education), vegetable packing, that kind of thing.
Nowadays I rebuild front-ends over and over again. We're doing form fields again.

I did scaffold building exactly one day. I knew why I had to absolutely start taking my opportunities more serious at the end of that day.
