What jobs have you held?

[phorsenuf]

I thought it might be fun (maybe more to some than others) to see what various jobs we've had over the years.

Over the last 30 years here's jobs I have had (no particular order)

Ice cream scooper
Retail in hobby shop
Bank Teller x 2
Bank branch manager (different bank than above)
Typist
Secretary
Telephone catalog operator (loved that job!)
Data Entry
Waitress (many times)
Real estate agent
Fiber optic documentation clerk
worked in office-various stuff
Worked in a bowling alley
Owned and operated with hubby a greenhouse nursery business
Currently a lunch lady and travel agent

Probably missed a few. I tried to be a stay home mom as much as possible so some of those are 2nd or 3rd shift jobs I took to supplement our income.

So...how about you?

ETA: I swear my mind somedays. I forgot I was in the Army. I really need to get my meds straightened out.
I wasn't in long. I had an accident and chose to leave instead of having surgery and being recycled.

I've been in broadcasting since 1980. I worked in Publicity for a Publishing company right out of college for a year first.

In between I worked at an elderly independent living center after my parents died... because I HAD to take care of someone...BEST job I ever had.

And worked in marketing for Sam's Club... YUK... WORSE job I ever had.

In broadcasting I worked primarily in radio, then to cable then to Network TV. I like TV MUCH more than radio, plan to stay here.
