Toll booth, in a heart beat. Low pressure, stress, don't have to talk to people, just hand out change all day. I would be blasting with my i tunes, jam out of work, go exercise, not have to think about work due tomorrow, or people to call, or my co-worker, who I can't stand. Or the brown nose B* who thinks that she is all that, my bosses secretary. Sign me up today.
My dad worked a toll booth for 20ish years. He didn't make 100k/yr. It was more like 55k. It's a gross job. Plus there's the fact that you sit there all day/night inhaling car fumes. No thanks.

People would spit at him. They would give changed wrapped up in gum. All kinds of nasty stuff. Imagine how nasty people are, let your imagination go, and you won't be too far off. Also, he'd work 12-15 hr shifts to get the pay. If people think sucking up carbon monoxide all day, every day, year after year, is worth the money, eh, that's their business.
OTOH, he did have to know someone to get the job. He lacked skills and drive to make a better life for himself. Toll collectors should be a thing of the past. They really aren't necessary for the most part.

Did he develop some kind of sickness from sucking up carbon monoxide every hour for years?
Tollbooth only if I get $100K. It's probably very hard to achieve the level of success as an architect to be worth $100K/year, so I'd rather not think that hard.
