Very humbling (also humiliating), but also immeasurably valuable: http://www.all-about-content.com/2008/07/direct-sales-lessons-for-seo.html Not the lowest-level job I’ve held, but the one that taught me the most, was doing direct sales.

These skills have helped me tremendously in my career. I'm now an Associate Publisher of a business journal.

Sure, it made me even *more* reliant on a calculator (as a journalism major at the time, numbers and I didn't play well), but it also gave me me a lot of patience. I swear, dealing with bank customers has to be one of the *worst* customer service experiences ever. After all, it's "their" money, so you can never get it to them fast enough or crisp enough (no joke!), and FORGET if you need to ask for ID. (Talk about seeing someone insulted!) Through it all, though, that job allowed me to hone my count-to-5-and-breath skills, which has definitely helped me in the fast-paced, corporate world. Oh, and I have always gone out of my way to be nice to bank tellers ever since! I worked at a local bank during college.
