What job(s) have you held?

17 years ago

And for how long? They say that the days of having a job for life have come & gone. I'm one of the lucky ones; 40 years last month with what is at present known as Verizon Communications. Actually I prefer Bell of Pennsylvania; when I was hired that's what we were. In all that time I've changed from working on electromechanical switching equipment in dirty, dimly lit aisles in a telephone building (never worked outside; never been down a manhole. I couldn't climb a pole to save my life, and that has nothing to do with the state of my knees) to what I do today, sitting in front of a computer terminal in an office. A big part of my job involves fixing others mistakes. You'd think I have the greatest job security with that responsibility given the anount of errors we make (LOTS!). Aand that doesn't even count Verizon Wireless - a different subsidiary.

I also delivered pizza for over 10 years to earn extra money. I quit when that job got too dangerous.

So - what have you / do you do to put bread on the table?

I got my first job when I was 14 working at Dairy Queen. My parents had a Dodge Coronet they bought new in 1968 when I was 2. When I was 10, they parked it next to the garage and there it sat for 4 years. I was on the swing set, looking at the car, thinking I would need a car pretty soon. This was in 1980. I strolled over to my dad who was working in the yard, and started peppering him with questions. Will it run? What needs to be fixed? How much will it cost? After he answered, I told him I was going to get a job, and then we could fix it. He laughed and said ok. I went and begged for a job. I got it and saved every dime I made. By the end of summer, I had 10 $100 bills. I took it to my dad and asked if we could start working on the car. We did. It was ready to go in a year. To this day, I have never been without a job, sometimes two. And, yes, we still have the Dodge and it is still beautiful. And, yes, many kids today don't know the value of hard work or the value of money. Too many parents hand them whatever they want, whenever they want. Too many are spoiled and lazy. I made my daughters get their own jobs to pay for the things they wanted. Hard work never hurt anyone.

Most jobs I left because I was moving on, leaving home for college or married and relocating. But one in college I quit just b/c I hated it. I worked at McDonalds' for 3 months, the morning shift. All my classes that semester ended up later in the day, 1:00 pm was the earliest. So I would go in (walked about 12 blocks) at 5am and work til noon, go home shower and then to classes. Those were long days! It was OSU in Columbus, Ohio. I never felt hated in my life until I met that supervisor. I never understood why, but I felt the whole time that she really just hated me at first sight. I had no training, she just put me on a register. I think she wanted me to fail and would give me tasks that seemed made for that purpose. But I figured it out (it's not rocket science) and she said "Oh, I was told you worked at McD's before." Nope, read my application! But, a cash register is a cash register. I thought I'd just need to prove myself to her, but the better I did the job the more she seemed to hate me. Then after 2 weeks she asked me to cover a birthday party for her. I said whatever, I like kids, I think I can handle that. She told me to "make up some games," so I did. She failed to tell me the party was for a physically disabled child and that all the other child guests were also physically disabled. My games required on-the-spot modifications. I was an education major, I could handle that. I made sure the kids had fun. The mother of the child was very pleased and tipped me $20 (a lot of money to a college student)! When the supervisor asked with a smirk how it went, naive me, I told her how well it went. She told me to turn the $20 in and told me I wouldn't be doing any more parties. I was very upset over that situation, she knew the child was disabled and just didn't want to work with different kids. Even though she didn't want to do it, she didn't want me to do it well and like it. I felt like she tried again to set me up for failure, it didn't work, and after that she was really pissed at me. Every time I asked for a weekend off to go home, it was denied ("home" was 2 hours away). I worked every weekend for 3 months. When I asked for Thanksgiving weekend off and it was denied, I quit. I cried when I told my dad, he instilled such a work ethic into me I felt like I let him down to quit a job. I knew it was hard for them to put me through college, and a job was part of my end of the deal. I had already put in applications elsewhere, so I did find another one almost immediately which I kept for 3 years until I graduated from college, married and moved away. It was fun and I was treated very well.

Does anyone have painted white cabinets that have held up?
Q

With regard to Thermofoil option: Yikes! I have yet to see a high quality option. The product is basically a sheet of plastic, printed to look either like wood or a high gloss lacquer. The MDF or particle board door is shaped and then a heater is applied to shape the sheet of plastic over the top and around the sides of the face. It is cooled and cut off along the back edge. Any cabinet next to an oven or dishwasher, will have issues. Period. Over time the sides tend to delaminate and you will get lifting and loose looking edges. Eventually they rip. Trying to match one, if something breaks a door is very difficult and expensive. If your cabinet line offers a free touch up kit- that is wonderful! Just imagine that when your counter top is being installed, they accidentally bump a door face. This is not a warning of an inferior finish- it is a thoughtful manufacturer.

When I sold my apartment people assumed we had staged it, but we didn't really change a thing except we probably kept the desk and mail more neat. Ida, I think that people are really losing their sense of the mind's eye and their ability to visualize and imagine despite being otherwise intelligent. Most people don't need that skill anymore and as knowledge gets more specialized, this just get shoved to the back. We also don't need to be able to spell correctly, or write grammatically in many fields anymore. Obviously one sees a lot of misspellings and and poor grammar in these forums. Or at the very least poor proofing, which still sort of proves it's not important. How many times have you read posts by people who misspell, have poor grammar, and don't seem very culturally literate who are building a 6000 square foot house with all the bells and whistles and no mortgage. It seems to happen enough. Obviously they are good at something. But being "educated" or well rounded is of less and less importance.

They say the average baby boomer will have eight *careers* in his life. That's not eight jobs, but eight different careers.

1) mowed grass/babysat - age 11 and up
2) worked at department stores at age 14 (special permit required to work at that age)
3) delivered auto parts for an auto parts store (17 & 18)
4) several odd jobs at little radio stations (weather, news, etc) ages 17 and 18.
5) payroll clerk (when computers were coming into vogue, about 1979). I was 19-years-old and the only one who knew how to run the huge tape-fed computer. Worked at RC Cola and a convalescent home.
6) Realtor (ages 21 to 24)
7) Landlord and property manager (ages 24 and up)
8) Stay at home Mom for a few blissful years
9) worked with my husband in his business (appliance repair) age 31 - 43.
1. freelance writer
2. Newspaper reporter
3. Staff editor
4. Freelance editor
5. product blurb writer (three long years)
6. architectural historian, author, lecturer and preservationist (currently)
7. finishing up new book and hope to start lecturing and traveling again (on a limited scale)
And I'm only 49 years old! No telling what'll be next.

As a teen, I babysat. Then moved up to working in a linen store through college. Taught senior high school a couple of years in an inner city school, quit that when it became too dangerous. Subbed for a year in assorted local schools. Taught another 5 years or so in a jr-sr. high school. Then got the best job of my life--raising my dd fulltime. Since then, I've taught childrens cooking and craft classes in our town summer school, worked in a bakery, run my own cottage industry designing, creating and selling hand-smocked children's dresses, probably the second best 'job' (and best money-maker, bar none) I've been involved in is recipe contesting. Currently, my 'job' is getting the new house set up--decorated, organized, needed repairs made, etc.

Since I devote myself fully to my family, my hobbies, etc, I do consider them 'jobs' because that's how I approach them--whether or not there's a regular paycheck involved.

Babysitter from 11 to about 16.

Drink girl at Arctic Circle for about a month when I was 15. I also had the job of cleaning the bathrooms which I hated.

Busgirl at the Nugget casino/restaurant for about a year 15/16.

Waitress for about 3 weeks at a Country Kitchen restaurant. I was a horrible waitress because I was so shy. Age 17, I think.

Worked with my mom for a few years after that at an onion dehydration plant. It was seasonal so we normally didn't work through the Winter. One of the most miserable/monotonous jobs I've ever had. The commute was an hour one way too. Which tells you how great the job prospects were in my little town.

So, I joined the Air Force because it finally dawned on me that I wasn't going anywhere in the little town I was living in. Was in the Air Force for 7 years before I stupidly left to follow my now ex to AZ.

Worked as an administrative assistant for an employer who retrained groups of people laid off from their jobs in downtown Phoenix. Did very little data entry and tons of copying. Boring, boring, boring.

So, I went to work for Target in Glendale, which was a lot closer to my home. And was pregnant at the time. Didn't stay too long because the ex decided he wanted out of the Air Force and wanted to move back to KY, where he was from. During this time, I also attempted to sell Avon.

Was a SAHM for about for a couple years after that, working a bunch of gardens around the house. Left to move to NV in hopes that the ex would find a better paying job. I also worked as an assistant again for a third party administrator in worker's comp in Reno. That lasted about a year and a half before we decided after the ex started fooling around on me to move back to KY. After we moved back, I decided to try market gardening, did a little bit of that and made some crafts to sell at a local craft shop. Didn't sell much, though. I also tried selling Tupperware.

Before we moved up here, I decided to go back to school to become a nurse so I started taking my prerequisites. Worked for 6 weeks as a SNT during one summer while I was taking 2 classes. Had to quit when a hernia flared up.
Been a nurse for 5 years now. First few months at on a oncology floor in Louisville. Now I work a little closer to home in Lexington on a med-surg floor. I'm now looking for something less mentally stressful in the same hospital system.
