Toll Collector

Average pay: $45,000
The worst part of being a toll collector isn’t the environment (the ever-present smell of exhaust, the deafening traffic noise, exposure to bad weather through those open windows) or the hours (eight-hour shifts that either start early or in the morning or go until late at night), or even the threat of a tollbooth holdup. It’s the sheer boredom of being trapped in a two-and-a-half-foot-wide booth for hours at a time, with only a radio (and the occasional highway flasher) for amusement. The pay is good, though—toll collectors are union workers—with solid benefits and overtime that can double take-home salaries for some workers.

No offense, but basically what you've said is that this job is terrible because it's like working in a gas station except that you get to sit down, listen to the radio and get paid 4 times as much to do less actual work.
Oh, plus benefits and overtime.
I must be missing something.
