What jobs have you held through out life.

Well my first job was a photographer for a small studio. I did that for about 6 months, then left because it wasnt what I wanted to do.

I got hired for the Geek Squad at a local Best Buy as an in-store tech. They paid for my MCSE and a few other IT certifications. I eventually got promoted to a Special Agent (the guys who drive the bugs) and started making $20/hr. The pay was decent for my age, but the hours were shitty, and I had to work weekends. I loved my job, but I needed something more steady.

I decided that a degree might help me, so I tried taking some classes at the community college for a semester. I couldnt stand being in a classroom again. It seemed like I knew more than almost every damn teacher. I wanted to be out working again.

I got hired on at Kaiser Permanente as an IT Business Consultant. I spent a year there learning the corporate enviroment and getting more certifications. The hours were long, but the pay was decent. I didnt really like the job, but it was really helping my resume. After working several 90 hour weeks, I decided that it was time for me to move on.

At the end of last year I took a job as a Sr. Systems Engineer/Account Executive for an IBM reseller. We sell servers/storage/services to large corporations. I get a decent salary, but I also get commissions on any hardware/services I sell. This job is really turning out to be a dream for me. I work about 15 minutes from home, and sometimes I can even work out of my house. Its a small company, so I have the freedom to do alot of things I like. I can spend half of my day making cold calls, but then I can go in the back and fuck around with a million dollars in hardware for a few hours.

I will make over six figures this year if things keep going this well.

i have it no other way mate:S5: :S5: :S5:

I've had so many jobs I don't know where to start.

1. First job I had was unloading trucks at Wal-Mart when I was 16. It was an awesome crew that made the work actually fun. All young kids and we'd go out to Subway at lunch, then smoke a fat ass bowl on the way back. We had an hour for lunch so we had the time.

2. I then worked at a Pork slaughtering plant. There I worked on the kill floor, removing the eyes, and skin from the face of the pig. It was good money back then, but now you couldn't pay me enough to do that. I moved around the plant a number of times, but stabbing the severed pig head on the spike was by far the worst. It was like something out of a hooror movie. It was fucked up man.

3. I then worked a grocery store in the produce section cutting lettuce and crap. It sucked and only lasted a few weeks.

4. I then worked as a security guard at the pork slaughtering house I once worked at. That lasted 2 nights, both 12hr shifts. One of the most boring jobs i ever worked. I just sat there, staring at a computer screen in this little shack. 12hrs felt like days.

5. I then worked as a motel porter. I got fired because this fat ass rig pig got in my face because I brought him the wrong salad dressing. :rolleyes: He told me off, spitting in my face, so I told him off as well. The next day I got a written warning, then a few days later, I come into work, and they fire me. I hated my boss as she was a HUGE bitch. I left my sweater there for like 2 days once, and I see her one day walking out with it on. I stop her and say, "I think you're wearing my sweater" in front of some rig pigs. She said, "thanks for embarrasing me by the way. When things are in that room for a week, I take them to the lost and found." I then told her I didn't know the lost and found was on her body and at her home, and that my sweater was there for only 2 days, so yeah...I got fired for more than 1 reason I guess. :p

6. I worked as a janitor at the college. It was a big college and way too quiet.

7. I then worked at an RV production plant in the wood mill. This prick job almost cut my finger off with the tale saw and I lost it on him. They laid my off from that job.

8. I then worked as an order picker for a distribustion warehouse. I didn't get along with a co-worker as he was into Hitler and always spit racial slurs about immigrants. I immigrated from Hooland, so you can where we would clash.

9. I then as a chef at a bar and grill. That was a wicked job as all we did was get stoned and munch out an badass food, but it was too stressful and was taking a toll on me. That job put me off kitchen work for the rest of my life.

10. I then worked in a rock yard as a yard person. I helped people load and unload landscaping products by hand or using this tractor lift. I also used a bucket loader to load people up witj various gravels. It was a good job and a great workout, but it was only seasonal.

And right now I am just doing snow removal with this little tractor thing. It's only for the winter, but in the spring, I'm going back to college to enter the Trades.

There have been a few other jobs inbetween that I'm sure i forgot, but who cares. :p
