I started working at 11 in a grocery store as a bag boy and part-time in the butcher shop. That was in 1951. I had already put my work history down earlier starting with the Navy. I worked for 52 years continuous without a break other than vacations and sick leave.

I am a stay at home mom and I make jewelry and sell it online :)

previous jobs? I've had many based on where I lived.

My BEST job ever otehr than mom...

I did singing telegrams :D

I also worked at petsmart, was a busser at a bar, burger king, tim hortons, winners, office administrator, collection agent, tech support agent, photo lab employee... which was REALLY neat actually. and some others :) OH and worked in a bead store

singing telegrams is by FAR the most unique and intersting.

my most rewarding is being a stay at home mom wouldn't change it for ANYTHING. also the bead shop job taught me to make jewelry which I am making a very decent living at while being a stay at home mom.

My favorite job, by far, is being Hannah's Daddy. :D

Before that (during high school) I worked at a historic farm.

WOW!! Everyone it seems has alot of interesting unique jobs. Alot of your guys jobs require quite a bit of brain power. Waitressing doesn't seem to require alot. Ha!
