I couldn't even begin to count the number of jobs I have had over my life. Of course, some of them were temporary or short term in nature. However, if you count as a job just something you have done to earn money, it would have to be at least 30 or 40. Jobs where I was a regular employee and earned benefits and so forth, much less..maybe 8 or 10. What about you? Have you had many jobs, or just a few?

Yes, some people do end up as long term employees. The longest job I had only lasted 7 years, it was a very good one, and I should not have quit.

@snowy22315 I worked at the local newspaper for 7 years but they sold the business to owners who didn't treat us well so I quit to go to the job that lasted 18 years.

Not that many. I was self employed from age 13 till I was old enough to actually work, mostly I have always been my own boss.

I agree with you on how you are treated. Life is too short to put up with abuse. Generally, I haven't had problems with that..but I have had a few nasty co workers.

Wow, sounds like some good luck there! It seems alot of people meet at the workplace. I got a date from one once, but I heard through the grapevine, he was actually engaged to a girl in another city... Anyway, he was a bad kisser..lol.

@snowy22315 You surely lost nothing interesting. My husband was very strict as a "boss"

Yeah, if I sat down and tried to count them all, I am sure I would be well into double digits.
