Whatever you do don't get a job litter-picking at a racecourse.
It was by far the worst job I've ever had. Even loading industrial rubbish onto a conveyor belt was better than that.

I once worked as a cleaner
for a day. I thought I should have an experience of manual work before I started university

It's about a hundred times worse when you're constantly getting hassled and having things thrown at you by drunk idiots who think they're comedians.

that sounds awful
I thought my experience was bad enough, being stuck cleaning holiday homes with a woman who talked for four hours about Big Brother

I was a cleaner for two months over the summer season
and chambermaiding with the odd surprise, like gigantic spiders in holiday cottages and people sneaking in dogs, or wetting the beds. Would not do that job again unless I was provided with thicker gloves and more money.

I'm not sure i'm hardy enough for outdoor work
I am a bit of a pansy like that.
