What other fake jobs are there out there? here's mine...
Question: What's your fake job? here's mine... First my statement, then my question.... STATEMENT: I've had 2 of what I like to call fake jobs. At one job as a debt collector. At another as a cook. Debt collector: definatly one of the easist/fake jobs in the world. I got paid to do nothing but sit in a cubicle and let an automated system call people, then when they answer I would tell them"either pay this bill, or recieve negative credit...end of story period, if they tried to dispute/claim bankruptsy, or anything that would not result in a payment, I just hang up on them and go the next person. then I clock out and go home. A job where there really is no real work....(well as a technicallity I lost this job because I left on a voicemail that my call was an emergency) so theres one fake job gone... cook: I'm a cook at a bar, as some few know...being a cook at a bar is a fake job, you get a fancy title that the club dj anounces as "and working hard in the back kitchen for you is chef (myname)....lets all raise our glasses and make some noise for him/her...but in reality were not chefs, were barely cooks, we can barely bake cookies without them burning. the only thing we can cook is whats on the menu. which we learned from a recipe book. not to mention because it's a bar theres only about 1 order per hour and each order takes 10 min at the most. and if it gets busy we help barback and get tipped out even more. So as I'm thinking about this, I'm watching the show on tv "factory" and in a scene for the season finale one guy says " you know we don't really do anywork, we go through the training, then we sit and do nothing, then when the boss comes we rush to pretend like were working.""then one guy says I know isn't it great," (then they high five) then I thought about the simpsons where homer does nothing and gets paid for it. Then I thought about my ex boss at the debt collection agency, when a caller asked to speak to a supervisor and when we told her/him, he/she said "thats what your hear to do," So he/she have a fake job too. Question: What's your fake job? What fake jobs are there out there that are hiring? Is there a list of fake jobs we can come up with or is already around? Is there a site for this? Are there forums for people who have jobs like this? (btw I also get to eat all the free food I want, and drink all the free beer I want too as a bar chef)

those are not fake jobs. you earn any money you make as a cook or a debt collector...sh*t...thats not exactly a party. being a computer lab consultant was awesome. in college i had this job...i just browsed the internet for 5 hours a day and changed the printer toner when needed. i just had to keep the lab from being trashed. i am about to move to korea to teach english. i hope it is more like a long vacation than a career move
