Well my 1st 7 jobs took me up to college freshman year, then I was
8. Greeter in the dorm cafe
9. Assistant to the Associate Provost (restarted campus honor societies)
10. Summer law clerk/assistant
11. Librarian at Center for Sociology of Women’s Studies
12. Typist for fellow students
13. Bar review representative–signing students up for course (got paid a stipend and got a free course in CA and HI)
14. Research assistant for law prof
@HImom, one of my mom’s main typing clients was a lawyer who ran the bar review course in Austin for many years. I proofed a lot of the material those students studied! It almost made me decide to become a lawyer, but I decided on engineering, instead.

Engineering is a fascinating field. Sadly, I don’t have the strength in math or physics to go that direction but am glad S does and is enjoying his field. He loves that he plays with wearable tech and drones as part of his job. The law background has been useful in advocating with policy makers, insurers and others.
I guess I had a lot of jobs along the way and enjoyed most of them. Being a special ed hearing officer and traffic court judge were both interesting, as is running a nonprofit. Learned different things from each job, espcilly what I liked and disliked, strengths and weaknesses.
Job I was worst at was clerk typist at age 14. We had multiple carbon papers and different colored papers. When you made an erro, you had to use the matching correction fluid for EACH paper–blue, green, yellow, goldenrod, white, etc. it was torture. I was generally only able to complete ONE set of docs with corrections per day. Of course, I got minimum wage.

Didn’t even get to list the one that makes my S cringe … house cleaner! Turns out one of the houses I cleaned was a classmate’s (sorry dude, but it’s legitimate work & I made good money). 
I did that from time to time to make extra money when I was working part time in jobs #6 and #7.
Yes! D’s first job, this summer, has been as a YMCA camp counselor. It pays really well, but she has been sick for weeks. She said all the counselors have a cold. She’s learned a lot, though, and the staff is treated very well. And I got a free Y membership (at a different facility) because she’s working for the organization. Kind of nice to get a perk because of my kid.
