Serving. What a job it is. If you have ever had worked in a restaurant as a waiter or waitress, you come across people from all walks of life. I have a worked in restaurants since I was a freshman in college and loved it ever since. Not only is it a great way to make money but I have gotten to meet and connect with people from all across the world.
