That sounds cool. I like the idea of working a bunch and getting it over with and then having a ton of free time off.

15-17 years old: Parking lot of a racing circuit - was good because I could watch the races for free but I was under the sun for many hours. Only weekends
Summer before college: Mcdonald's, hated it.
Second year/second semester at college: International Call centre operator - Best job I ever had, since I speak Italian, Spanish and Greek fluently as well as some French they couldn't fire me (difficult to find a single person speak so many languages) so I could work at my own pace and not give a fuck.
Internship: Field Force support for Renault/Nissan parts marketing dept - A lot of database and excel work but by the end of the year I had everything automated so I spent most of the day online. Pay was ok but I had a lot of expenses since I lived alone, so didn't really get to enjoy the money I earnt.
After college: Black Berret/Tank driver (Compulsory military service.... I'm not American as you can see). A whole year wasted, only slept, kept guard and carried out maintainance to the vehicles, no money, lost my GF, lost contact with a lot of my friends. While I was there I didn't really notice my changing but when I finished I was full of phobias and deperession. I had almost lost my ability to live outside a military base. Now tryiing to get past all this shit that I picked up in there
Imports manager for a furniture manufacturer - HUUUUUGE responsibility for little pay. Quit after 3 months.
Freelance Web/Graphics designer - Still on going
Currently: Receptionist for a hotel at Paros Island/Greece. Working Holidays in the Greek islands so I could sort my head out.

I was an assembly line worker at a plant that puts together miscellaneous shit. This place hired ANYONE, so my fellow co workers were either retarded, drunk, or needing a fix of meth. It the most boring job in existance.
Computer assistant, fuckin' a, free progs and occasionally a LAN party.

15 - tour guide at ruby falls lookout mountain, tn. could have made great money in tips if i actually gave a shit about my job. boss dicked me over on hours and i was too inexperienced to notice. usually made around $100 a week for very minimal work which I immediately spent on weed. worked for a summer then went to the beach with my friend for a week and never went back.
16-Blimpie subs, minimum wage, great co-workers, in the heart of the ghetto so I met some interesting characters. worked for a summer then left.
17-kitchen worker. made salads, cleaned floors, got stuff for the cooks, excellent job. five hours a day from 4:30 pm to 9:30 for minimum wage but I didn't care. i could come in hung over as balls and none of the cooks gave a shit as long as I could somewhat accomplish tasks. I was the only white guy in a kitchen full of very large black men, all of which had served lengthy jail sentences for one thing or another, got to listen to rick james all day.
18-waiter in the same restaurant, incredible job, extremely easy. hung out with the cooks and crazy old women all day. same hours as before, good pay, soul slowly started to decay had to quit after six months.
after that was construction, best job to date. very hard but great pay under the table ($10 an hour) very laid back crew was working for a friends dad doing unskilled labor basically digging ditches and knocking down walls with sledge hammers. the only job I had every worked where I actually saved money, enough infarct to sustain my lifestyle for my first semester of college.
now I'm in school, being a broke ass college kid.

Newspaper delivery (was ok, used to blaze on the way then sit in the near by ditch and rebeliously smoke haha)
Hotel Gift Shop attendant - very few hours, but I used to score free ciggarettes, and other cheap junk)
Baby Sitting - not for me! The two boys would just fight over the computer and want to watch Pokimon all the time
Black's Photography - got the job through co-op in HS, loved the job, HATED the cunt of a boss (and 2 weeks after I quit, so did she, BITCH. haha)
Y.A. Canada - a mail in rebate centre (first full time job) easy but horribly boring
Walmart (Photo Lab Technician) - currently working there, I love the concept of the job, but people that go to walmart expect to get free shit all the time, its bull shit.

Overnight stocking/Target - Quit after one day
Overnight cashiering/stocking - Quit after a few months
For overnight jobs, both paid no more than $8.
Cashiering - 7 months. Pay was terrible.
Bus boy at a diner, not a large food chain - Terrible job, but alright boss and co-workers.
Now I work as a server. I don't know why I take jobs like this when I hate people. I'm going to apply at a hotel soon to avoid people.

Is it a co-incidence that nearly everyone here does either manual work, something that they consider easy money or nothing at all?
I don't see many high-flying business people here. Maybe they are all on the DMT sites.

1) Arbies- shitty boss 2)Dairy Queen-awesome, all the free food I wanted 3)toppers pizza-awesome, all the free pizza I wanted, plus no boss 4)Mc D's-not to bad
The funny thing is, I had all these jobs through high school, and they were all on the same street, all a 2 minute walk with in each other. Which was pretty close to my house.
Now I am a computer guy, learning how to code in Java and getting paid decent for it! It's my dad's buddies company. www.forexmaster.com is our website.

paperboy - from the time I was 10 til I was 14.
Gas Station - full service (old school type)... from the time I was 14 til I was 16.
Autobody Repair apprentice - from the time I was 16 til I was 20.
Boeing - Payroll computer operator. 1 year. Quit because my female boss was sexually harassing me...no shit!~
U. S. Navy - Seal...6 years active duty and 10 years in the Reserve.
Was offered jobs by the Secret Service, CIA, US Marshall, DEA, FBI... after getting out of the Military. I had no desire to work for any of those fuckers!~ 
Worked as a body guard for 1 year...it was ok.
Went to a tech school and learned home heating, boiler repair and water heater repair.
Was a home heating repair man for 2 years...it was soso.
Was offered a job with a new Seattle Boiler Company that was just getting started... accepted the job...was the 3rd person hired. The Company grew over the years and I was promoted several times. I worked there for 11 years...love it!~ Company wents belly up...the owner was screwing the US Navy on change orders on ship repairs. Fucker screwed himself and about 60 employees...right out of business. 
Was offered a job with the CIA again... turned them down.
I was a Garbage man for 14 months...good pay, hard work. Broke my hand on the job...stoping a large tote can from hitting a car. Wasn't allowed to return to work after my hand healed... I sued the company!~ Recieved a large settlement.

About 6 months after my injury...My mother became terminal with Cancer. So I took care of her...and allowed her to die at home rather than in a Nursing Home. Her last words were..."Your a good son...I was lucky to have you". I was depressed for 3 years after her death...and didn't do anything. I was left a large Trust Fund and the family house...so I didn't have to work. I sold my own home that I had lived in before taking care of my mother... and lived off that for many years so that I wouldn't deplete my Trust Fund.
I had a heart attack 3 years ago... and I have been working on getting in better health ever since. The past 3 months have been wonderful...I really feel much better now. I have lost about 30 pounds in the last few months. I have about 15 to 20 more pounds to go.
I plan on going back to work at the end of this month... I was offered a management position at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. So I will be able to use all my Military time towards Retirement and Vacation time.

and the pay is pretty damn good!~
