The hardest job I ever had was the summer after my first year at university. I was a groundskeeper and building maintenance worker for a property holdings company. I spent eight hours a day sweating in the hot sun performing hard manual labour...for $6/hr (this was in 1998, for perspective).
All the jobs I've had since then have been of the white collar office worker variety. They're certainly more mentally challenging than the brainless groundskeeping work I did that summer, but I'm not exactly performing hard labour anymore.
