What jobs have you had?

When I graduated from high school I took a course at the local hospital for nurse’s aid. I then got a job in a home for mentally challenged people. So, let me give an account of all my jobs.

  1. Bethesda Lutheran Home
  2. Hospital
  3. Navy
  4. Offset Press Operator
  5. Post Office
  6. Fast Food – Mall Court
  7. Baskin Robins
  8. Fast Food Chain
  9. Bakery in a Grocery Store
  10. Customer Service Representative – Call Center
  11. Retired
  12. Author

Some people work their entire lives in one job, I had ten before I retired. My aunt worked at the same food service shop her entire life until she went into assisted living. Me, I worked low income jobs, faced unemployment a few times and am finishing my life on welfare. It’s not where I hoped to end my life, and I still hope my books will catch on before I die. I don’t want to be one of those outstanding authors only recognized after they die.

My favorite job of all those I mentioned was my military service. My longest job was as a CSR. Supposedly I was good at it, though in recognition of what a great CSR I was, they fired me. That’s what happens when you help customers.

I went to school for Nurse’s Aid, Offset Press Operator, and got an Associate Degree in Architecture – no work in the field.

What kind of work did you do? Let me know in the comments. Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.
