In reply to the discussion: What have you done to earn money in your life? Here's my list. [View all]Tobin S.
(10,420 posts)19. I have worked at a lot of places, but only in a few lines of work.
Food service from 1987 (I was fifteen when I started working) until 1990
Printer from 1990 to 1995
Machine operator from 1995 to 1996
Commercial truck driver from 1996 to present
I have had probably a total of about 20 jobs in my life with over half of them being in trucking. I've been with my present employer for about 4.5 years and seem unable to escape them despite going back to school and earning my bachelor's degree.
