>A lot of people seem to be OK with dull, boring jobs,

I'm a little shocked to see this sentiment, and even more to see support for for it from other commentators.

Has anyone here actually worked jobs like this?

I've had several factory, dull, boring jobs where you repeat the same task 2-10 times per minute, and none of the people I worked with enjoyed it. It's hell.Time slows to a crawl. You can repeat a task a hundred times and only 20 minutes go by.

Attempts were always made to rotate people though different tasks throughout the day. The vast majority would leave to go to a non-repetitious job if possible.
