[Student Driver]

Hamsters ate my last try at this... lemme try again.

Aside to the OP-- my mom was a Bally's Aladdin's Castle/Bally's Great Escape employee from 1984 to 1990 or so. I was often pressed into service, cleaning Skee-Ball machines. Good times!

These are paid positions, as opposed to "mom's making me do this" positions.

[thetruthisoutthere]

I started working when I was 15.

First Job - Sales advisor in a clothes shop (Oct 2001 - October 2005)

Second Job - Worked in ASDA (REALLY REALLY hated that job!- October 2005 - April 2006)

Third and current job - Car Rental Operator April 2006 - Present. This job was only intended to be a taste of management as a placement for my degree. Needless to say the prospect of leaving the craphole of Asda led me away!

Some of you folks have had some really cool jobs!

[Max Torque]

Let's see, from start to current, something like:

• swallow shooter
• bean rider (same summer)
• grocery sacker
• movie theater ticket taker
• movie theater concessions
• movie theater box office
• summer university lab assistant
• undergraduate assistant at LANL
• part-time Macintosh repair tech
• full-time general computer/network repair tech
• self-employed attorney
• assistant county attorney

I'm sure I'm overlooking a couple. I've occasionally done some freelance computer repairs for cash. And I've done some odd stuff unpaid, like volleyball line judge and running the chains for high school football. But that's the meat up there.

[dwc1970]

Since 1988, this is my resume, in a nutshell...

• Burger King. Worked there for an embarrassingly too long of time, left when I was an assistant manager.
• Construction general laborer- Job I took out of desperation to get out of previous job. I worked there for two days.
• Office Max, electronics sales associate, three years.
• Tech support stint that lasted about two months before returning to...
• Office Max, where I worked for another two years as supervisor for the electronics department.
• Printer testing technician for HP (contract employee). Worked there for four years before I was laid off.
• Same as above, but worked for a different contractor. I was fired after seven months due to some asshole who had it in for me and got me fired over a misunderstanding that I could not successfully dispute.
• Call center, booking travel for cardholders redeeming points. Been here for over two years now.

[Fretful Porpentine]

Babysitter
Office temp
Bagel bakery worker
Coffee shop manager
Tutor at an EXTREMELY screwed up summer camp / cram school
Temp for a legal document processing center
Toy store clerk

Tutor for a university summer program
Substitute teacher
AP exam grader
Freelance writer (sort of, made a whopping $1,600 that way. 1,700 if you count payment in STA Travel vouchers)
Visiting assistant professor
Adjunct instructor

I guess I've had a more interesting working life than I thought. (My next job will be tenure-track assistant professor, and will, I hope, be the last for quite some time.)

[Silver Tyger]

Cashier at a small boutique. Hated it. Worked there for about a year.
Miscellaneous work for a wholesale rep, mostly packing boxes for the webstores and scanning catalogues. I think I was there almost a year.
Temp work, mostly data entry
Graphic Design for where I am now. I was there about two months.
Temp work (a few weeks)
Data entry for medical billing
Graphic work for a custom book-binding place (that sucked and the bosses sucked. Don't get me started). I was there three weeks. I repeat, don't get me started. It was stupid enough that it doesn't go on my resume. Well, that and it was so astoundingly short.
Graphic design. I'm going on my third year.

I may have forgotten a few or gotten stuff out of order.

[Zsofia]

Data entry at my dad's company
Real estate secretary
Campus job as music professor's assistant
Suncoast retail worker
Graduate assistant in a business library

Accountant - large theater auditorium (B-way, symphony, concerts)
Accountant - food retailer
Accountant - waste management service aka"the dump"
Accountant - office furniture & supply company
Business & Finance Director - non-profit history museum

Looks pretty boring, all in all. Too damn corporate.

[Chronos]

1993-1994 (summers): Electrician's assistant
1995-1998 (summers): Ride operator at a kiddie amusement park
1995-1999 (school year): Various food service, mostly short-order cook

LabelCraft
Dairy Queen
Phil's Deli
Clark Gas Station
Chaloupka's Deli
Massara's Supermarket - Deli
Johns Deli
GCC / Mede America / Healtheon / Healtheon WebMD / WebMD / Emdeon

And bean riding is something I'm pretty sure is still done: you get a tractor and outfit the front with a special rig consisting of, one, a big tank of Round-Up weed killer, and two, a long horizontal arm with four seats and a spray gun for each seat. You get four people (usually kids) to sit on the seats, and drive up and down the rows of beans. When the kids see a weed, they blast it. I got four bucks an hour for that one, which is good money when you're 12.

Dropping out of college meant I was actually working less than whilst going to school.
1991-1994: US Air Force, aircraft armament systems technician
High School (1987-1991): Worked in a pizza joint, had a paper route, washed dishes at a restaurant, worked for 2 summers at a local ranch shoveling sheep shit, and summer after I graduated worked for my grandparents landscaping their newly built house.

Ice Cream Cake Decorator - Had a lot of fun for a while, good high school job. Free ice cream rocked!

College:

'Associate' - Bath and Body works sales. Bad work environment and they tried to make me work while I was scheduled for finals.

Assistant - Asian antique store. Couldn't look customers in the face, and he had makeup in the back room if one of us forgot to wear some. Spent three weeks listening to the same opera CD and addressing envelopes. Oh, and he hated letting us get lunch; he would nap in his office and ignore us instead of letting us eat. The fridge had food so old the mold connected boxes to each other. His wares were gorgeous though!

Data Entry - Billed as an internship with occasional overtime, but just data entry around 60-70 hours a week. Paid really well, if I hadn't been heavily misled as to the position I probably would've enjoyed making all the money.

Library Assistant - Current job. Law library at a law school, really easy work. Check in/out material, open and close library, shift/shelve books. I can study while on the desk, and the hours are very flexible to work around my school schedule.
