How many jobs have you been through in your life so far?

I've had many jobs. Too many to count. LOL One of the reasons why I had so many was the pay. When I was younger I would quit a job if I didn't like it and have another by the end of the day. If most jobs pay the same you might as well try a few out to see if you like them. Usually I am bored with a job within 2 weeks. I was assistant manager of a retail store. The 1st day I took notes on everything. The 2nd day the manager was like "Where are your notes?" I said "I don't need them." I didn't. This scared a lot of the supervisors that I have had. THey think I am going to take their job. When they don't realize that I could care less about mine let alone theirs. LOL Businesses do not want to pay very much so if I am not going to make any more I am going to do something that I like. I wanted to do something that I enjoyed and no one was going to pay me what I am worth. So I started my own company. I haven't worked for anyone for 5 years and do not plan on ever working for someone else again unless I want the job.

I always had crazy jobs. And they were just that, a job not a career. I've never had to work since I married since my husband does well and has a business. I raised 3 kids and that kept me busy enough. I've had several part time jobs over the years and most were no brainers. I worked at a bowling alley for awhile, dry cleaners, doctor's office and now at a sporting complex, golf and ice skating. I generally left because I was needed at home or the pay was not good. A good raise wasn't in the bosses vocabulary which forced me to leave a couple of the jobs. Wasn't going to work for zip.

I have never been fired, I have often worked two jobs at a time. Primary job, wife and mom.Waitress, clerical employee at a council Boy Scouts of America clerical assistant. I have owned a home daycare, driven school bus, worked as school custodian. I have been a paraeducator, residential support staff, nursing home personal care attendant, nursing home housekeeping, certified nursing assistant, certified Medication aid, social services designee, activities assistant. I have worked at Wal Mart, in receiving, in a department, as a cashier. I have worked in fast food. I have worked as contract labor as a merchandiser and as a product demonstrater. I think that covers almost everything. I still could stand to change jobs, I get bored easily.

I tend to stick to jobs that I like and even those that I don't so much. My first job was with dunkin donuts and I worked there all thru high school...hated every minute of it. When I graduated, I went to work for an insurance company where I stayed for 12 years. I then did alot of odd jobs and ended up working at a convenience store where I've been for "'''gulp''''''14 years.

Ive had six jobs, and they've all been pretty dismal. I was a lifeguard once at a Six Flags, which was entertaining, but exhausting. I've never been fired, and my employers are always surprised when I quit. I'm a good worker, but I get tired of having the same job after only a few months.

I have 2 jobs in my life. First i'm work at restaurant near my house. At that time i'm waiting my exam school result to futher study. I'm there only 3 month. After that i futher study for Diploma. After finished my Diploma, i've got offer as secretary. Now i work almost 3years. I thinks this is better for me because nowaday, fresh graduated really hard to find a jobs. I really happy with my work now.

Since I was in college, I've had 7 jobs. I've been working for 14 years already and most of those times are spent in the travel industry. I've had spent 8 years for a single company though, but I have to quit for my newborn baby. Now I'm back to work, still in the same industry but another company.

I am 39 and have been through about 4 different postings although it's mainly been two of my professions: journalism and IT blended with computer graphics. I started off as a journalist rising up to the level of editor of a privately run tabloid, now defunct. Then I moved on into computer graphics and later IT. So, between 1993 and the present, I have only changed about 4 jobs! :)

I have had a total of 40 jobs in my life, so far. Sounds like alot , but really they were all pretty good. I was at one for over 17years. it was the best with benifits. This freelance thing that I am doing now is becomming the pits.

I got seven different jobs before I finally decided to stop working and settle down. But right now I am manning my own business. Just good enough for me to have other fields.

Ive been working since I was 14. I have had too many jobs to count. Off the top of my head I would say 10-15 Mostly my family comes first and if the job/hours dont go along with what I need-I'll move on. Right now I have a decent job. Lets me off when nessarry and understands family life.

I am 31 and I have had 2 jobs. I got really lucky and got hired by a very good company that pays well and have been there 10 years. I am on a family leave now for 6 months because I had a baby. I read an article recently that most people will change jobs 5-6 times throughout their working years.

five jobs. :P I don't think I've been through too many, perhaps because I have not found the type of job I've been looking for. well, actually current one is the closest to the type, however, the company's policy and the salary are not so much promising for the future (grinning). LOL. I'm still looking for another better job out there. :P and thanks goodness, so far I never got fired, I am the one that resigned first. :P

So far, I only been through two jobs in my life. My first job lasted 10 months. I didn't like how the way the team is managed so I left for its rival company. Up until now, I am still working in the same company and I never felt it was the wrong thing to do. I am promoted now as a member of our IT team.

it is my second job. I have a total experience of 3.5 years. i was with my first company for 1.5 years.Now also I think I should change company as well as I am not happy here.

I have been through several but never really counted them. I changed jobs due to making more money, being drove nuts in the workplace or moving to a new location. I also worked several because some wer full time and some were part time second jobs also. Here are some of the places I have worked at. Squire Boone Caverns--3 years---left to make more money. Beach Mold and Tool-3 months--left there to take cre of my step-dad because he had a brainstem hemorage and a stroke that left him paralyized. Silvercrest Child Development Center-3 years---left there due to being drove nuts in the workplace and we moved away. Jasper Engines and Transmissions--3 years--- left there due to being drove nuts in the workplace. Walmart-part-time in the snack bar as an second job. Green Valley nursing home- worked there part-time to make more money as a second job. "Hotel" part-time as a second job H&R Block - part-time as a second job Carefree Food Mart- Full time for a replacement job Blue river Services-- full time Housekeeping- full time Babysitting-- full time Working Online--- full time Those are just some that I can think of right now. I have always worked somehow to make money but I mainly earn from home now.

4 ,,,,,,,,,,, plus all the babysitting, LOL !!

I had four different types of jobs that are totally unrelated... but i never got fired... i resigned in most of them... and had one until the end of the contract but i opted not to renew... and now... i was suppose to be laid off... but my boss changed her mind... there are a lot of better jobs out there with better pay... but none of them would give me the freedon that i am enjoying right now... life flexible hours... and use of the internet...

At present, I'm with a financial institution for the third time. But on summer vacations during my college days, I already tried working as a student assistant in the school I've been where I studied during high school. If this counts, then so far, I had four jobs including my present employment. Anyway, I worked for five years as an assistant account officer in a savings bank. I would have stayed there longer if it not for the unstable condition of the bank then. To cut a long story short, we had an early retirement program or retrenchment (in other terms). We were offerred two months of pay per year of service. With this incident, I began to think of our situation and my career. After careful thought, I decided to look for a vacancy & apply for a job with the local government. I was civil service eligible already at that time; but it was still hard to get a job with them because I was aiming for a position in the regional government office and regional bureau of internal revenue. While doing so, I engaged myself in a small scale business using the money I received from my previous job. After almost half a year of trying to no avail, I finally decided to apply again in a private company. I got a job in a savings bank again. But this time, I only stayed there for a year. Not for pure discontentment; but mainly because during my stay in my second job, I got married and my husband and I decided that I resign from work and have a time off so that we could have our first baby. After almost a year of waiting and trying, our resources were dwindling. I suggested to my husband that I return to work again which he, in return, conformed to it. And so, I'm here in my third job already.

I couldn't tell you. I don't even want to try to count. I think that I have been through way too many! Quite honestly I think there are 2 reasons for this. First is that people are starting to work younger and youner, just to have money and are just doing whatever...This is suppose to (in theory) help your work ethic but in my experience you just are mature enough yet and move from job to job whenever you are bored, unhappy, or don't get your way. For me, I changed jobs twice because I left a job for medical reasons and it wasnt there for me to return to when I was ready to return. Also because I kindof know what I want to "do" and haven't been able to do it yet so the jobs I get are just to get by not something that I loved or even liked.
