These days i’m wondering about that often.
Since i don’t have a degree in anything, i’m quite likeable to have low-schooled jobs.
In my own country i worked in a library for 2 years, that was probably the nicest work, interation with people, working with books, a bit of variation in physical and more mental work. But we had difficulties with the boss, quite negative, if we made a tiny mistake, she often managed to see it and to come and give out to us about it – never mentioning all the good work we did, and often barely spoke to us. I’ve seen quite a few people leaving and being unhappy because of her.

But i think that my nicest job is my current one. Now i’m living abroad and i’m working in a 2 star hotel. Funny place, many things not organised and it is still often a mystery to me, which person i should go to, to have the best chance to get anything ordered if i need new work material. I work as a cleaner, so not the most stimulating work.
But i’ve never encountered so much kindness and helpfulness in a job, from everybody there, the owners and the colleagues. The chefs always ask if i want to eat, if they have time to cook, the bosses arrange for somebody to help me if they see that i’m not too fast, instead of giving out. They have let me do new tasks that i didn’t do before and that i was always told from home that i wouldn’t be able to (waitressing), and which they are letting me know that i’m doing it good. Really amazing for me to be in that place. I feel this place is helping me to grow and to be a bit more relaxed and confident at work, to see myself as a normal person next to colleagues and superiors. I sometimes wish i was brave enough to tell them how happy i am to work there.
