Nordlys doesn't get a lot of English colloqualisms because it is not her first language. You're English, you have no excuse. Now go get a real job. 😉
I've had a quick look for some but frankly those that I could do I would find completely tedious and to put it bluntly, below me.

The summer daycamp organizer job paid peanuts so I hated it. Plus a retarded kid pissed on my back once which was not cool.
The clerk job was tedious but I worked with nice people so it wasn't bad.
The baking job was the best but I could only do the good stuff in the summer on the night shift. The rest of the year I bagged stuff, decorated cakes and worked the counter.
The job at the cemetary sucked, mainly because of my boss otherwise it would have been perfect - outdoors, good exercise with a bit of labour.

If real = good, I'd say being a guinea-pig for a medical drug, assuming it's done by a trustworthy company and you have checked what risks the procedure involves and find them acceptable, is a more real job than working at a fast food restaurant.
Real and good have the same meaning in this context.
Not trying to act smart...

Retail seems to be the best job around here, problem being that you need experience to start anywhere, indeed it's like 4 months experience in a similar place, well, I have no work experience (well strictly speaking two weeks but that is not enough); so I can't get started in that.
A friend of mine has been trying to get a job for some time, somewhat more vehemently than myself, without much look, in fact very few of my friends seem to have jobs, and to be honest I don't really need a job, I could easily go without, but I want to do something productive with my time.
It's going to be a long summer...
