How many jobs have you had total?
 
I have had a total of 6, but is working on my 7th hopefully by next week :D

I know people who have had 6-7 differnt jobs in one month.

Lady Pi Phi 06-01-2004 02:07 PM

I've had 6 jobs including part time and summer work.

I've had 2 real full time jobs. Although one of them was only for a month because I was laid off.

33girl 06-01-2004 02:11 PM

Counting summer jobs, I've had 7 so far.

If I didn't hate interviewing and job searching even more than staying in a job that I'm not thrilled with I would have probably had more.

Gina1201 06-01-2004 02:26 PM

I've had four jobs, five if you count orientation at Old Navy.

Ginger 06-01-2004 03:22 PM

I've worked at an apple orchard, McDonald's, Ponderosa (2 different ones), I waitressed at a hotel restaurant, worked in the movies, and worked in a pizza parlour. These were college jobs. Oh, I was also a RA in college. After college, I began my "career" jobs: I worked in a residential treatment program for emotionally disturbed children, then for 2 weeks I worked in a day treatment program for MR/DD but quit because the commute was too far, then I have been working in my current agency since 1999, however in multiple programs. I also worked for 2 years at another mental health agency in Manhattan.

***I have excluded the 5-6 different temp jobs I've had since finishing school in 2001 as well.

DeltaSigStan 06-04-2004 11:53 AM

Hollywood Video (1 yr, 3 months) - Outlasted 3 managers and probably 25 employees. Would have been given supervisor duties except that I was under 18. Eventually got tired of all the stupid things people did with videos and dealing with stupid members, so I quit.

Subway - Worked there for a week...quit to start my present job.

San Diego City School District (2 yrs, 8 months) - Custodian at two elementary schools. Yeah, I was a frickin janitor, but it paid 12 bucks an hour, times 30 hours a week equaled some serious bank. Budget cuts ended in all the college custodians getting laid off.

SDSU Bookstore (seasonal) - I've never seen politicking this bad at a job. It was seasonal, but the best employees would get kept on. I knew that computer and all the skills like the back of my hand. But I guess since I didn't want to gel with the other workers there (they all had stuck up attitudes), they didn't keep me on.

SDSU Annual Fund - Student assistant - Current job and love it.

DeltaSigStan 06-04-2004 01:23 PM

OMG there was this one 4th grader who looked so hot that I......NO OF COURSE NOT YOU PEDO IT WAS K-8

Oh wait, WTF am I thinking. At the first school, the 8th grade french teacher and the counselour were just outta college and hot as fizzy.

The second school had a couple MILF teachers too

It amazes me though how much faster kids are growing up. I remember the teachers always talked about this 7th grade girl who passed for 21 (I swear). She had at LEAST C cups, was taller than most of the staff, and had a fake ID that WORKED at the Indian Casinos and TJ (Well, that's not saying much)
