Librarians V Farmers

LibrariansFarmers
Get to hang out with childrenGet to hang out with animals
Unlimited booksUnlimited eggs
Peace and quiet (supposedly)Lively animal sounds and smells
CleanFilthy
WarmMay have to deal with extreme weather conditions
Minimal work-related stressNumerous animal-related occupational hazards
Spend hours at a time stickering, stamping, covering books and spinelabellingSpend hours at a time mucking out filthy stables
Situated in the haven of any schoolSituated in the haven of a sprawling urban nightmare

Conclusion: all other jobs are dreadful.

(P.S. Learnt how to make a table on HTML! Disproportionately proud of this.)

Unlimited eggs + unlimited books = ideal.

Well at least you've got some passion and love for what you do. Emotions are a harsh mistress at times, though, so beware.
