Dead-End Shit Jobs: How Many Have You Had?

Dead-end jobs are a necessary evil. We all have bills and obligations to pay. Sometimes dead-end *shit* jobs are just the bandaid we need to pay the bills while our greater focus is put into our efforts on business growth.

So with that said, what Dead-End *Shit* jobs have you had? Do you currently have?
I was thinking back to all the crap jobs I've had and I am amazed I had the fortitude to endure it all.

My list:

This slowlane tip is the cousin of this thread (Big, Easy Money Saving Tip) . Applying this strategy can save you countless hours of heartache and money.

Anytime you have the urge to purchase a product or service that *seems* to good to be true, just drop the product/service into google and append the keyword "scam" , "complaint" or "rip-off" to your search query.

For example, thinking about buying "XXX Widget?" Search for "XXX Widget Scam" and see what comes up.

Use these search queries at Google:

• [Enter product/service] scam
• [Enter product/service] rip-off
• [Enter product/service] complaints
• [Enter product/service] problem
• [Enter product/service] reviews
  

I know the "slowlane" is tossed around here like a rotten potato but habits created in the slowlane can merge into a fastlane, or at least, a fastlane opportunity.

The slowlane is not all that evil, and its habits often transcend into the Fastlane.

One "slowlane" habit that I haven't kicked is the use of coupons under the assumption that it doesn't take any of my time to get them, or use them.

One strategy I use is pretty simple: When I anticipate an expenditure at any particular store, I hit the internet and type in "[enter store here] coupon". More often than not, a coupon is out there that I can use.
