Paper route - That lasted about 15 min!
I babysat ONCE and hated it!
Then, I went to college and no job until I graduated. First job as an RN in med-surg unit. Went back for more college. Got a job in ICU which I liked. Then, went on to anesthesia school for MSN. Worked 6 months as a new grad, then moved. Spent 8 yrs as an anesthetist in rural hospital. Then, formed my own group and now subcontract my services.

one job in last 10 years (I graduated college a little more than 10 years ago). I work for a software company on it's fourth name change (one interview, one job, one building, but 4 different companies).

While in college, I was on 7 year plan (the same plan which suggests my senior year was the best 4 years of my life). In those 7 years, I think I had 4 jobs which gave me some of the experience I use today.

Those 4 jobs were all "3 month" co-op assignments

spent 15 months at one
spent 3 months at another
spent 12 months at another
spent 6 months at last one (which landed the job I have now).

HS- I had probably 4-5 jobs, plus odd things for cash (reffing soccer games was quite profitable).

Part-time jobs during my teens Babysitter, Daycare Center, Cashier and Customer service at a grocery store. I worked at Orange Julius for 1 night and hated it.

I have only had 2 full time jobs after high school, but held many positions at one...I know this place inside and out!!!

Assembler/furnace operator for future FIL's competing electronics company for 2 months, then got laid off. (Industry was slow in 1995)

Called back to first company, worked as Inspector, QA inspector, Production Control/shipping, Engineering Technician (while in college) then promoted to Process Engineer when I got my degree. Now, in addition to my engineering duties, I am also the 2nd Shift Supervisor.
