Best job I had was working in a super smol community at a millwright's shop where I took care of p/u, cleaning/repairing, and delivering gear cases and oil coolers for locomotives (boss took care of the private manufacturing for CNC and locomotive stacks). I was the only employee and planned my own day ... utterly awesome.

Second best was cooking at a fly-in fishing camp. Love the wilderness and feeding people was fun. Dealing with the rich entitled American clients was rough sometimes tho :/ Sorry America.
