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.

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

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.

[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!
