About a month ago, sn0wangel posted a list of all the jobs she’s ever had. I’ve been meaning to make my own list, which isn’t particularly impressive or lengthy, but fun nonetheless. In more-or-less chronological order:
- Paper boy
- Office cleaner
- Dishwasher (twice, actually)
- Tube honing technician watcher (see the end of this entry for more details)
- Graduating class videographer (lame, but profitable)
- Tutor
- Busboy
- Sporting goods warehouse worker
- Recycling program implementer
- Theatrical properties shop manager
- Admin assistant at a rec centre
- Editor of arts and culture magazine
- Technical writer
- Marketing writer
- Theatre reviewer
- Columnist (a few times)
- Manager of technical documentation department
- Comment writer for video games
- General manager of a theatre company
- Technology evangelist (I kid you not)
- Entrepeneur
I guess it was kind of lengthy. And I may have missed a few.
I’ve got a Welsh friend who I used to work with. One day we listed all of her jobs on the white board. It was an incredible list, and (if I recall correctly) included both ‘marijuana farmer’ and ‘oyster picker’.
