How Many Different Jobs Have You Worked At?

I'm 23 but I've had quite a number of odd jobs because I'd work summers here and there. Most of them were temporary. I am now stable with my current job but I do hope for advancement later on. I would probably change jobs after I'd achieve what I hope to in my current but that's down the road, maybe a few years from now.

i've worked at many places; tie factory hospital laundrette supermarket(twice) hotel specsavers local shop sandwich delivery driver taxi driver taxi receptionist when i go back to work when i'm better i want to work in childrens social care

I am retired now and all the work I do is enjoy mylotting.he he

hi louc, i have worked different jobs like this besides that we have run several stores and businesses cloth shop Fertiliser shop medical shop Oil mill fancy store/departmental stores travel agencies ticketing and handling agents for yayudoot airlines run different couriers present TV showroom and flower/cake delivery service

I have done three different jobs:sales, receptionist,office worker.And sometimes I do the parttime job as a tutor.

After my high school, some friends called me up to work in a club playing guitar. That was 33 years ago and now I am 51. Since then, I was a musician till today . I have never work different jobs before in my life but someday in future, I would like to switch to a different job beside a musician.

Several small jobs here and there, but the only real serious job I've ever had is the job I'm current doing. I've had the job for a little more than 3 years.

My first job was at an insurance company and I liked it. Plus I was working at a lawyer's office part time. I was there for about 4 or 5 years. I started going to college and I wanted a job where I could make my own hours and get paid a little bit more so I started cleaning houses. Then one year my friend and I worked at Walmart part time (I was still cleaning houses and going to college) during the Christmas season and they asked me to stay but I hated it so I told them no after the Christmas season I was done. Then I got a nanny job for a race car driver and stopped cleaning houses and I gave all my houses to my aunt and she cleaned them. Then my mom started dating the guy I was nannying for and they ended up getting together and getting engaged so she took care of the kids and I didn't have to. Then I got married and wanted to stay at home so I started taking care of kids in my home and plus had my own child during that time. I did that for about 6 years until the kids were about ready to go to school and then I started working at a doctor's office with my brother's girlfriend. That didn't work out. I missed my son plus I just couldn't work with my brother's girlfriend. I found out the true her when I went to work with her. So I quit and now am back staying at home with my son. I clean a few houses a month but that's all I do. I do some computer work too so between cleaning houses and the computer work I make some extra money to bring into our household.

I don't think you are unusual at all! I am only 21 and my list seems huge to me already!!! I got my first job at a water park and i will be returning for my 7th and final summer this year. Then I went to Garden Ridge, the Petsmart. When I came to college I started out working at a food place on campus, then a secretary, and no I work in the computer lab. At the age of 21 I have already have had 6 jobs, and I will have a diploma that doesnt have a job to go into...so who knows how many i will have in the future. :)

Wow, you have definitely had your fair share of jobs. I'm probably going to take the path that you have - a mixture of jobs that seem unrelated (no offense, that's not how I'm trying to put it). I think it's cool that you get such a variety and have such a well-rounded amount of experience. Which was your favorite, can I ask? I would really like to work in a bar, as a bartender sometime. Is that a hard job to get? (Random question here, sorry). I know that it's rare to find people who change jobs and job fields so often as you seemed to have. But I personally think it's cool. A lot of people keep the same job for their whole lives - for example, my dad is an auto mechanic and has been at the same company for 20 years. And same with my mom - she's worked at a data entry company for about 20-25 years now, too. I mean I guess it's nice to have that kind of job security, but at the same time.. I think I would get a little restless while working in the same exact position, wouldn't you? I would want to experience new things. And be challenged. I'm only 19 so I don't really have a huge work history quite yet. My first job was (is) at a dry cleaners, and I started as a senior in high school. Now I'm a sophmore in college. I've worked here about 2 1/2 years now. Otherwise, I've had 2 seasonal jobs. One was typing (entering data) for my mom's company - as extra help while they were busier. And I just got another seasonal job at Macy's in "merchandising". So what I do is go around and do mark-downs, set up sales, move around merchandise, and put out new merchandise. It's really interesting because it's something new.

Hi Lou, there's no such things as jobs for life really anymore and you've certainly had plenty, but it sounds as if the nursing is the one you want to pursue. Are the wages really that bad that you can't survive well on that. It seems ludicrous when the jobs are there and you have the training. Is there nothing like the American style where you can take on agency work which gives you the same place to work as the normal place you work (well I saw that on ER a few times). What about the private hospitals. It would seem if you can get into the field you want then experience should count. As for me I always had summer jobs in school hols and university hols, then worked in management and then in finance. Work out here is very erratic and most people survive on less than minimum wages, but I organise what I can to produce a good income for little work as am really tied with my son being school age. This year though everything has dried up with the economy here and its just a case of fingers crossed that it recovers so I can get active in it again.

Are you sure you want my list? lol. I'm turning 45 in a couple of weeks and I've got quite the list. Here goes: Typical childhood jobs: babysitting, mowing lawns, hauling hay, washing cars, etc. Fast food: McDonald's, Wendy's I was a dish washer at a retirement home. I was a "roadie" for a band. That means I helped set up and break down for shows. I operated a little sound recording studio for tourists in Branson, MO where you could pick a song to sing with a sound track and I recorded it. Radio announcer, news anchor & reporter, traffic reporter TV production assistant House cleaner (for a service) Long distance operator, conference call coordinator, video conference call coordinator and customer service rep (Sprint) Worked at a bakery as a packer Worked at a deli as a sandwich maker, phone order delivery, event catering Store manager at Blockbuster video I've worked as a seamstress making casual clothes I've given piano lessons and taught English My last job was as a theatre director in NYC Now I'm semi-retired and do things like this! lol. I'm sure I'm forgetting some but I've had a great time in life at all of these jobs! Of course, my parents were none too happy that I didn't find a "stable career". LOL!

I had 3 part-time jobs when I was in college, 5 full-time jobs after I left the university. So far all my full-time jobs were related to the career I chose and took me 2-5 years before I transfer to each job. But now, I'm unemployed..still trying to get a new job. I'm looking also for work at home programs. For those who have different jobs like you or change job so often, well I guess the advantages are you became flexible and obtained different work experiences already. It happens and all of us I guess are aiming for a stable job that we'll do until we decide to retire.

wow...you are really working hard to achieve what you want and i admire you for that.Dont lose hope.....keep chasing your dream.

I'm a student in the school,so I only have part-time jobs.being a family teacher is my first job,and I was a sale promotion person for TV. compared to you, my experience is poor!

Wow, after reading the your original post and all of the response, I must be one of a very few. I have only held 2 jobs in my life. The first was a summer job when I was in high school as a day care worker. The second is with a company I have been with since 1993 in the agriculture field. I have held many positions with my current company including retail sales, wholesale, purchasing and most recently in aquaculture. Some of the jobs that everyone listed sound fun and I will have to keep them in mind in the event that I ever have to change jobs.
