I've had a few retail jobs slamming a cashier.  My most notable job was as a medic in the Army Reserves (One Tour in Iraq during OIF III 2004-05).  Right now I'm a writer for a gun magazine, mens gifts website, and a bachelor magazine.  =-P

I have had several jobs.  My favorite was being an administrative assistant.  I was also working as a caregiver parttime. When my employer closed our department, I became a caregiver full time.  So these are all the jobs I have had.

Soldier, groom, stable hand,  roofer, apprentice carpenter, construction worker, programmer, fire and water damage cleanup specialist, trauma scene cleaner, clerk at a convenience store, logger, commercial fisherman, worked tobacco, picked fields, ran drugs, and many other things.
There are only 10 types of people in the world:  those who understand binary, and those who don't.

Too many to count, but 95% have been in the medical field, starting as  a nurse aide when I was in high school.  I went on to become a nurse and study business in college.  Most of my career has been behind a desk managing medical practices although I've done nursing as well, particularly in nursing homes.  If I could afford it, I would work for free in a nursing home because so many patients absolutely never have any visitors.  They love to see a smiling face walk in the room.  I recommend volunteering for everyone!

I have had a lot as well, but only in a few industries--in high school I worked at various fast food restaurants. For 13 years I stocked drywall (8 of which I drove the boom truck and operated the articulating boom). For less than a year I drove a water tanker in the oil fields of North Dakota. For about the last year I have worked in refuse disposal--I was hired as a garbage man (job I've wanted since I was 5 years old), but being at the bottom of the list, i was laid off from the hauling company after only 6 months--but they gave me a job in the shop as a welder(repairing damage to dumpsters)--they pay is not as good, but two guys are retiring from the hauling company next year so I should be back hauling garbage by next summer!

Wow, I didn't realize how many jobs I have had until I thought about it. But I guess some of the jobs were very short lived.

1 Food Service
2 Painting
3 Selling Knives (didn't make any money)
4 Collecting Donations door to door (didn't make any money)
5 Take orders over the phone
6 Calling donors
7, 8 Caregiving (2 different companies)

Currently I have 3 jobs part-time:
9 Executive Assistant
10 Direct Support Professional
11 Home Care Worker
