    Easiest job I ever had was the most prestigious by far (a fake assistant professor). Hardest job was as a parent, for which I have never received a dime. Unpaid domestic labor in the US alone is worth about $10 trillion.

        I don’t have an advanced degree so I felt hardcore imposter syndrome for the six years I was there, really until the day I (extremely foolishly) told the administration I was quitting to move back to amerikkka, where I have been almost continuously unemployed since. The job was teaching ESL in an East Asian vassal of the USA, usually about fourteen hours a week (twelve in the classroom with students who were pleasant 99% of the time) with every weekend being at least three days. It was a part-time job for full-time pay, massive prestige, and no publications required, all brought to you by American imperialism.

            People would be visibly impressed when I told them what I did. All kinds of people. It’s never happened before or since.
