What jobs have you held through out life.

I'm a 1L. I'd really like to become a public defender but I'm not sure how that will pan out. Those positions are highly coveted despite the low pay and long hours. !

My attorney spent 10 years as a public defender in NYC. I respect that a lot. He's a really down to earth and dedicated guy.

Hey, how do you like being a Data Analyst? This September I'm hoping to go to RCC in Toronto to get both a Diploma and Degree in "Bachelor of Technology: Computer Information Systems" and I've heard that education can lead to a job as a data analyst.

Is it like the guys on Office Space who hate their job? Is it challenging? Rewarding (doubt it but worth a shot haha)? Good money? Does this job limit your creativity? Is there much freedom involved?

Thanks

at 14, did pretty much everything but deliver at a chinese restaurant($5.25/hr)

then pushed carts at a grocery store(Giant, pushed carts there twice) - $5.50/hr

worked as a stocker for NAPA for a few months, got fired cause my boss heard me say i wanted to quit($7.25/hr)

a few days after graduating high school, worked for my dad's landscaping company during the summer($8/hr)

went back to pushing carts($6/hr)

stopped going to school last fall(05), went back to landscaping from june-dec($10/hr)

went abck to the same store i always worked at, did HBC inside($6.60/hr)

been working at a different grocery store now for 7 months, stock shelves($9/hr)

i like my current job. got screwed over getting hours cause they hired a lot of people, but a few quit so they are coming to me. so ill be working enough while going to school. my plan is to just kinda stick around there and work my way up, hopefully becoming a manager.
