odd jobs

[manekineko]

What are some jobs that you've had over the years? Were any of them strange or unusual? I'd like to know what kind of work you're willing to do for money. My jobs (and work locations) have been all over the map since I had my first babysitting job at age twelve.

In no particular order:
human resources
teaching assistant (for special ed.)
tutor
reader for the blind
bus driver
driving instructor
administrative assistant
store manager
campaign assistant for a non-profit organization
financial services (401k)
retail
figure model (for art classes)
taxi driver
light industrial assembly and quality control
waitress
customer service rep (telephone sales)
balloon arranging and delivery

I've only had 3 jobs; none of them were unusual but, of those 3, the neatest one was my first. I pumped gas at Montgomery Wards right out of high school (1975) for 2 years & I loved it.

The people I worked with (including 2 women) were fantastic. I mad
