slo’s FRIDAY 9/8 poll - Your Jobs/Work/Employment

[slo]

TGIF Friends!

Since you’ve been 16years old, what’s the maximum amount of paid jobs you’ve held at one time?

*I will do volunteer jobs another time



For Me…..The maximum amount of paid jobs I’ve had at once is 2, and that’s been 4 different times throughout the years. I currently work 2 jobs - MTWF I manage a Chiropractor’s office and Thursday & once in a while a weekend day I work at the baseball/softball facility my DD20 has always trained at (it’s home away from home - we’ve spent many many days and hours there since she was 11yrs old). My DD20 has worked here four years, and when she went to college last year the owner asked me if I’d help him out, and I said yes. So when my DD is at school I work and when she’s home on break I stay home - it’s a good system. The extra money is great and I get to see many people I wouldn’t see anymore if I didn’t work there - I really enjoy it. Last night was my first night back since May - my DD20 worked all summer. Me returning is what inspired this poll.

EDIT: I misread this question. I've never held more than 1 job at a time!

 

[Kitty 34]

Two.

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Three - one full - one kind of full to part - one side job
As a kid I count babysitting as one even thou I had several clients sometimes all same night and a part time job
Young adult I had two and school plus any side work I could get

 

[EACarlson]

I count it as four currently, but others may count it differently. I currently hold two W-2 jobs, my day job in the trucking industry and as a softball umpire for my local school district. I am also an independent contractor softball umpire that gets to travel around the country. In addition to that I'm a youth hockey referee.

 

[TCRAIG]

When I was in college, I had 3 part time jobs during the school year…I typed the school newsletter, work in the quad’s cafeteria, and worked for the state as a tutor in an inner city high school…summers I would waitress…

 

[Wood Nymph]

There may have been a few times when I did some accounting work for someone outside of my full-time job. But 99.9% of the time it was only one job.

 

[DisneyHardin]

2 is the most I've had at once. I'm a teacher and I worked Saturdays for a while at a Consignment shop. Now, I sell clothes online as a side gig.

 

[Dan Murphy]

I'm recalling only one at a time.

End of another week. Thanks, again, Sandy, for a great week of your always fun, enlightening @slo polls. We learn a lot about our friends here.

Hey Slo, when you get to the volunteer poll, where does being a parent fit in?

 

[SC Minnie]

Right now I have 3 paid and 1 volunteer.

The volunteer is a executive board member of a conference which I'm now president and is like a job.

I have my full time 'pays the bills job', part time at a craft store, and a side gig that resulted from my hobby

 

[soccerdad72]

2 currently, although the second one is just a side thing. I ref soccer games, usually two to three nights a week.

 

[Skywalker3]

Only 1 job at a time. Did work, go to college full time, and raise a kid at the same time for several years. but only ever had 1 job at a time. Sometimes I'll do overtime for my current job, and often even that is too much. 1 is enough.

 

[ronandannette]

Never more than one.

 

[SM1992]

1 Job at a time. Worked for the same company for 48 years, now retired and work a couple of days a week at the local golf course.

 

[disneychrista]

If being a parent doesn’t count as being a job then the most I’ve had is two

 

[bobbiwoz]

Two… one full time, one part time.

Now I am retired.

 

[fla4fun]

Mostly one at a time, but I did do a temporary data entry job once alongside my regular job. My sister’s company was moving from a manual customer database to computerized, and I got paid by the individual record to type them all in. It was a nice bit of extra money and I could do it on my own time. But my work schedule didn’t really allow for a traditional second job.

 

[LoveDaisy]

When I was in graduate school I had a bunch of part time jobs.

I tutored the football team, taught a how to survive college 101 class, worked the reference desk in the library, bartended, and during the holidays worked at a gourmet food store making gift baskets. Depending on the time of year I may have been working all or some of them while a full time student.

One summer when I was in college, I had three jobs one summer. I worked in a grocery store, and a frozen yogurt shop, then had a very active babysitting schedule. I ended up working 50-60 hours per week between them... but I didn't do it long-term. It was just for the summer.
