Finally, according to the U.S. News & World Report 1997 Career Guide, the best job in the United States, for the second year in a row, is Interactive Business System Analyst. However, last year's worst job, Assistant Crack Whore, has been replaced by a new worst job: Crack Whore Trainee.

From a study published in Jake Halpern's new book Fame Junkies, The Hidden Truths behind Americas Favorite Addiction.
He described a few anecdotes about how we value fame over anything else today. In a survey he conducted among teens he asked:
"Given the choice of becoming the President of Yale or Harvard, the CEO of a Fortune 500 Company, a Navy Seal, a U.S. Senator, or the personal assistant to a famous movie star or singer, which would you rather be?"
The majority, 43%, chose being the assistant. For the girls they chose being the personal assistant twice as much as the President of Harvard or Yale, three times as much as a U.S. Senator and four times as much as a CEO.

Provincial government is a pretty good place in my opinion.
If you like getting paid strictly by seniority, and not by productivity. I know that is not always the case, but that rule likely applies to 95% of civil servants outside of management.

In that case, I bet that if you want to make cash, a place like White Spot might be good because it's busy year round (no fall layoffs) and if you're good and fast you can turn over the tables enough to make some good coin.
If you don't look like a schlub, touristy places like Milestone's or Cactus Club might be best in the summer--just don't party away your wages. Hotel restaurants are good but if business is slow, tips would be limited. I think he trick is to find a place that's consistently busy, upscale and has turnover.
