What's the worst job you've ever had?
I worked at a kennel, and there was one really traumatic event when a dog had a seizure. Every bodily fluid you can imagine was coming out of this dog. It was kicking me and scratching me. Then I had to clean it up. I quit at the end of that day.
Hayley Olson, St. Louis freshman
I worked in home demolition, tearing down shingles off the sides of houses and stuff.We had to stand underneath, so bugs and spiders would fall on you.
—Kanon Peterson, Kansas City, Mo., freshman
I sold beer at a NASCAR race in Kansas City to make some quick money.The menu was on a T-shirt right across my chest.
—Aly Rodee, Wichita senior
I nanned some really bratty kids for a summer. When I'd try to discipline the kids, the parents would just override it. One kid ate only grilled cheese sandwiches and fire-flavored Doritos. I worked in fast food for two years, but it wasn't as bad as that summer. Marie Rigs, Omaha cat
—Marie Biggs, Omaha sophomore
I was a landscape and had to be outside all day.I got a lot of bad sunburns.
—Kevin Lavene, Littleton, Colo., junior
I worked for an interior design company. I didn't have any design experience, and women would ask me questions and I never knew what to tell them. It was a higher-end company, too, so they were all middle-aged women who didn't do anything except decorate all day.
—Kristen Hagemen,The Woodlands,Texas,senior
I worked at a dry cleaners, and one time this guy brought in curtains that his cat had pooped all over. That same guy also left underwear with poop stains in them. I quit shortly after, for health reasons.
—Natale Collar, Kansas City, Mo., senior
I worked at a pizza place.It's just a lot of effort for a thankless job for too little pay.And one time a kid closed an oven on my arm.
