My first job was counting vehicles and passengers, or stopping vehicles, asking the drivers where they come from and where they go to, etc. It was for an agency that helped planning infrastructure, of course.
Some jobs were really scary, like staying at night on the side of a highway bridge, which was rather narrow (i.e., no service lane). And my boss failed to inform the police - guess who came across checking whether I was suicidal). But we got well paid!
