My first job was at 18. I was the security dispatcher for a theme park. It was pretty awesome, but the commute was at least a half hour without traffic--not really worth the $8/hr. It taught me a lot about multi-tasking, using a "professional phone voice," and I met a lot of great people. However, I was going through so much personally that I couldn't really appreciate it fully.

After that, I worked a multitude of jobs including a Barnes and Noble employee (3.5 years, 3 locations), a summer camp counselor, a restaurant hostess, a youth ministry intern at church, an assistant dog groomer, and a "professional" babysitter (complete with website and steady clients). Mind you, I always had 2-4 jobs at a time so I can't even begin to sort them out for you. When I wasn't working (haha, whenever that was), I also volunteered as an Assistant Pet Therapist and a photographer for the humane society.

I'm such an overachiever.

My 1st job was at a hostpital. I used to push patients around in wheelchairs. I also delivered medication to the proper stations. I liked it, though it was a lot of walking. I was 17 when I started working there. I worked there for two summers. I left because I couldn't and still can't stand the sight of blood. I saw that quite a few times. Then when I got to college I worked as a grill cook. I hated that job, but I learned how to cook really well because of it. I hated it, but at least I can say I got something out of it. During the summer while I was in college, I worked as a graphic designer at my dad's printing and graphics company. I did that for 4 summers.
