I started working when I was 14.

11 jobs total: 9 p/t (including summer) 2 f/t (though one was only for three weeks, right before my current job). They include:

* waitress (on four separate occasions)
* bartender
* detassler
* retail (two separate occassions)
* Assistant in a University communications office
* Publications at an Extension office
* Production Assistant (current job)

Waitressing was my p/t job of choice and my fallback if we ever run into a tight spot.

In order:

3. YMCA - lifeguard & swim instructor at 2 different locations (Pittsford, NY and DeLand, FL). I worked at the one in FL the 4.5 yrs I was in school. (pt/ft)

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.

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)
