I only lasted about 6 weeks (all the same issues you had right down to my mom getting tired of driving me around :P) and I think that's as long as the paper route lasted in my town. Everyone could just walk to the store within about 5 minutes. It was silly.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by my blog! Yours is awesome so I will follow you. :)Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02408521023378422011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4417234281196367399.post-43336113975366932832012-04-10T05:04:18.938-07:002012-04-10T05:04:18.938-07:00I've been working as an accountant for 8 years...I've been working as an accountant for 8 years now. I have a BA in Theatre and MA in Creative Writing. Sometimes, often, the job and the experience don't have a thing to do with each other. And given the state of the world these days, I can't switch jobs because no one will hire an accountant without an account degree. Them's the breaks, you know? Thanks for coming by the other day. After this story, I know I'll be back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4417234281196367399.post-58092302233957795042012-04-09T20:50:38.568-07:002012-04-09T20:50:38.568-07:00I started working at nine as a "mother's ...I started working at nine as a "mother's helper" for a hairdresser who worked out of her home. I cleaned the house, took care of her three children, and any other tasks she came up for me to do. I would do this every afternoon after school from four until six-thirty and all day Saturday. My pay? Fifty cents a week. Yeah, life was good. Still, I gained a work ethic that has never failed me in the many years since.Scribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03582697031387484105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4417234281196367399.post-82984355077889556562012-04-09T20:44:49.095-07:002012-04-09T20:44:49.095-07:00I think those early jobs are great teaching experi...I think those early jobs are great teaching experiences. I worked at a Dude Ranch when I was 17, slept in a beer truck which had been fixed up for sleeping quarters, and never worked so hard in my life. Instead of riding off into the sunset with the cute ranch hands, on my only day off, I slept and slept.loverofwordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763349886822924646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4417234281196367399.post-1628214260396716092012-04-09T15:15:41.381-07:002012-04-09T15:15:41.381-07:00I love it when i start laughing out loud so rory y...I love it when i start laughing out loud so rory yells out from the office "what??" and i can red your post out loud through nose wheezing "you had to provide your own gum bands" BAHAGAGAHAAAADoublClikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07925597472873449312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4417234281196367399.post-87050244874631947252012-04-09T13:03:36.911-07:002012-04-09T13:03:36.911-07:00I started working when I was 12.

Since then I have been a design assistant for a bridal accessory designer, a retail mgr, an ops and hr mgr, and a mother (which is by far the hardest job ever.)<br /><br />Now, as you know I work for the post office, and can honestly say I will stay because I now make so much money I can't afford to quit. But someday, if the stars align just right, I'd like to go back to school and become a midwife.Julihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10097214923216967086noreply@blogger.com
