[quote=Anonymous]I was a daycare worker in college.  It was difficult, dirty work that didn't pay much but I loved the kids and thankfully had a lot of energy because I was in my late teens/ early 20s and didn't have my own kids or family to deal with when I went home at the end of every shift.  Also, because the daycare was in a college town, probably 95% of the staff consisted of students either certifying to teach or at least majoring in child psych or something similar, so the kids were being cared for by people who were actually interested in working with children down the line.  I worked in another daycare one summer that wasn't in a college town and the difference in the educational level, etc of the staff was pretty striking.  I also nannied for a very wealthy family later on and that was a whole different ball of wax but definitely not thankless in terms of compensation, although you couldn't support a family on it.

Either way, if you're looking for a job that will absolutely bolster your immune system for the next five years or so, that's an excellent choice.  I was sick constantly my first three months on the job (pink eye, stomach viruses, respiratory crud, you name it), but then I didn't catch so much as a cold the entire time I worked as a teacher after graduation.
