I volunteer at the animal shelter and love it. I have for almost 4 years. I worked there for a year and a half but didn't get the permanent position because I don't have my driver's license.

But I may be getting to work there paid (I don't care about the money the animals are my priority!!! ) so we'll see how that goes.

In 2006 - I was a bell ringer for the holidays for the Salvatian army never again. and before that I worked at Burger King when I was 16-17. I hated that job. I do better with animals.

[Genny]

I've only had 1 job-Chickfila-and I'm still workin there

[Twisterdog]

I own a boarding kennel and grooming shop.

Before that, my other real, grown-up job was a financial analyst for NCR/AT&T.

In college I was an accounting intern at Caterpillar, and worked in the deli/movie rentals of a small grocery store.

In high school I worked at a daycare center for a summer (hated it!), at a movie theater for a year (loved it!), and also worked at McDonald's, Baskin Robins and as a carhop.

Soon we might be moving, and I won't have a job, for the first time ever since I was thirteen years old. How strange and scary!
