Probably you want to go the opposite way: The kind of job you like would be classed as “entrepreneurial”.
Maybe you want “salaried” in there as a term for white collar who works for someone else.

There are no jobs that are beneath you.
There are only jobs that you don’t want to do.
Back in 1976 my dad had a stroke and died as I was finishing my junior year. Well there was no way in hell I was going to let three years of an accounting major go to waste. Mom helped but I needed to take responsibility for my own finances.
I went looking and found the best job in the world for a college student. I worked graveyard shift at a self serve gas station in North Sacramento for 2.25 an hour. Once the bar rush is done at 1:30 and my cleanup is done I had all night to study. I also worked odd jobs for 3.00 an hour on the weekends. I had to cut back on my units but I did graduate in December of 78.
All in all it was the best for me. My grades improved because I was studing more. I handle money better now and my girl friend who put up with all the cheap dates for a year and a half agreed to marry me six months after graduation.
Correction: Gradutated in December 1977.
By the time I got my undergraduate degree, I’d been a(n):
[ul]
[li]telemarketer[/li][li]janitor[/li][li]welder[/li][li]short order cook[/li][li]switchboard operator - IME much more difficult than telemarketer[/li][li]librarian[/li][li]art gallery attendant[/li][li]data analyst for some grad students[/li][li]protoype builder for a video game company[/li][li]electronic technician at a marine biology lab[/li][li]puppet, pauper, pirate, poet, pawn and king[/li][/ul]
I didn’t think any of the jobs were beneath me, though there are certainly a multitude of jobs I’d rather avoid. Working during school probably contributed to my being a below-average student, but I did not “choose” to work while in college. Rather, I chose to go to college.
