Explanation:
1. A job is a dead end when there is no possibility of promotion. Unless the applicant really wants to stay at the same level for the rest of his life, he will need to find another job to grow professionally.
2. A job is glamorous when it makes us think that the professional is living a good life. Being around rich and famous people is often seen a glamorous.
3. If you are constantly tested, then you have a challenging job. You will probably receive rewards, but you will need to prove yourself.
4. A repetitive job requires you to do the same thing over and over again.
5. If you're not only working but also helping people, your job is certainly worthwhile. Your time is being employed in a beautiful and useful manner.
6. Firefighters have an extremely stressful job. They can often get exhausted after working long hours in bad conditions.
7. A job is varied when it is not repetitive. That is, it does not require you to do only the one same thing, but rather you have to be flexible and adaptable to do many different things.
8. Finally, jobs that demand certain degrees and training are high-skilled jobs. If you do not possess the skills necessary to perform, you are not even considered for hiring.

Now, he would have to hurry to make new cupcakes before the bake sale started.
