Different jobs..

[playoutside]

• yardwork/weeder: can't imagine anyone paid me for this, I worked so slowly
• babysitter: started this for neighbors when I was 9 -- don't think anyone would allow this today -- I was done with babysitting when most kids were just starting
• Lifeguard/watersafety & swim instructor -- did this for 6 summers at a private lake, more fun than most jobs since
• Clothing retail sales/cashier
• Office worker at university fund raising office -- work/study gig
• Research analyst for vehicle routing software startup
• Information manager at industrial automation consulting firm
• Sr. Systems engineer/consultant designing and installing networks -- best job for me, traveled the world, learned stuff everyday, worked insane hours, totally fun for 7 years
• IT Manager for a mobile healthcare service provider
• IT Director for several financial services companies -- some great experiences, some grueling which made me pretty burnt out from dealing with layoffs, cost savings and outsourcing for too many years
• IT Management Consultant -- being self employed for the last few years has worked well in that it allows me skiing/playing time as I need/want it while still earning a decent living.

Don't know about that, it's kind of like a doctor being a mortician.

 

[BushMogulMaster]

Not quite in chronological order, with several positions overlapping:

Lawn mowing, Professional musician (classical organ, jazz piano), PC support (started my own business at age 15), Systems and Network Administrator (also 15), web developer, contractor's helper (helped the old man build a couple of log cabins and do some roofing during his break from the ski biz), snowmaker, facilities tech, marketing assistant, lift operator, landscaper/gardener, groomer, and... of course... Founder and Director of Mogulskiing.net!

All of this, and I'm not even old enough to legally enjoy a glass of scotch with my Montecristo! I need to relax a little more, and quit working so damn much! :wink:

A Slitter is a machine that you feed large sheets of corrugated cardboard into and it rips them down to the proper width. The Catcher has to stand there and stop the smaller sheets from flying out too far, then stack them on a pallet.

Yeah, had to get a Plant into OSHA compliance.

That was my job in the cardboard plant. I lasted officially one day on that job. I could not move the next I was so sore. I was literally buried under cardboard. The machine kept going faster and faster, there was no way I could keep up. It must have looked really funny to the other workers.

Did it for an entire Summer. It was a tough one, I was 16 and about 112 lbs soaking wet.

Also spent "set-up" time stripping the excess off of stacks of die-press boxes. That was fun.

My family has owned a box company for almost 60 years, worked there on and off until I was out of college.
