I worked at Jamba Juice for years! :) 

And then interned at the YWCA Transitional Housing Program
 
And now I work at a telecommunications company in Bolivia... and no, it has nothing in the world to do with my degree (housing/social work), but they needed "an American."

Babysitter.  Busser/hostess (At a German place where I had to wear a German dress).  Worked in a flower shop.  Check-out girl at a grocery store.  Gymnastics instructor.  Daycare.  Substitute teacher.  Nanny. 


The only "job" I've ever had is being in the Marine Corps, but I've done several different things within the Marines.
 
-Recruit (trust me, it was a job for for 13 long weeks)
-Marine Postal Clerk (only for a year until a training slot for the MOS I wanted opened up)
-Field Radio Operator (I did that for 4 years)
-Marine Marksmanship Instructor on MCRD Parris Island, and then later reassigned to MCRD San Diego when my husband and I got married and he was assigned to San Diego as a Drill Instructor.
-Currently I'm in the Marine Corps Reserve, but on maternity leave. When I go back to the active reserve next month I'll be a Radio Chief.
 
And then of course there's my never-ending job as a mother to 6 kids ages 7 and under. That one is the best one ever.

This won't come out right on my phone but: Babysitter Cashier Dancer/ teacher/choreographer/school owner *nanny * gluten free baker * postpartum doula Want to be: Organic veggie/co-op owner Doula/lactation consultant and midwife maybe Big time baker/store owner Single stay at home mama

I forgot that I worked front desk and kitchen in a hotel for almost two months, worked in the nursing dept in college and was also a dance teachers assitant and backup dancer. I think that's been it.

Fast food worker at Taco Gringo.  Lasted there about 1 month, had to clean bathrooms after all the drunks came through disgusting!
 
Fast food again at a greasy burger joint.
 
Waitress at a pizza parlor
 
Maintenance worker for a HUD housing addition.  Tore out cabinets, painted and helped install shower kits.  Paid well.
 
Assistant in the men's athletic department at college.  Always something to look at ;)
 
Assistant softball coach 
 
Retail clothing sales
 
Fitness Instructor
 
Paralegal
 
Mom, wife and domestic goddess is my current position and definitely the most enjoyable!

Oh gosh.

Grocery checker (first job and it was at a mom and pop grocery store and all my friends worked there. Totally rocked.)

Tons of different retail jobs ranging from Bealls to different cell phone places

Cingular Store Manager

Waitress
Cocktail Waitress
Bartender

Daycare Teacher
Personal Nanny (that was cah-razy! I'll have to tell that story sometime.)

Radio Shack
Restaurant Assistant Manager

I had a few jobs that didn't last very long. I was a cocktail waitress in a strip club for three days.
And for four terrible days I worked at a convenient store.

Currently I am a stay at home mom and, of course, that means I'm also a cook, maid, referee, teacher, coach, personal shopper, driver and many other things. The pay sucks and the hours are long but, I guess the benefits are pretty darn good.



So for all of you that have been a bartender...did you love it? I seriously think it is the coolest job ever!! I would LOVE to be a bartender...
