Guess I have always been paid to fight, one way or the other. lol I did cut lawns when I was young, so maybe that's 3 jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Culvercreek hunt club Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Had several jobs in School from a Boy Scout Camp Counselor, working on a Dairy Farm, Factory assembly work to selling hickory Farms. My professional career stated as a Construction Surveyor and worked my way up to Foreman and Superintendent for a couple large General Construction firms. (only worked for two companies over the last 28 years) I have run the estimation department in one of them for 4 years, bidding a billion dollars of work a year. I have been a project manager and now am in charge of all the company, also with HR responsibilities. And I do pretty fair on some side home renovation work.

jjb4900 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I've often wondered about what type of retirement plans the folks who bounce from job to job their entire lives have in place.....pension, 401k, just rely on Social Security or just work until they die?.........I don't expect anyone to answer because it's none of my business, but just something I've thought about....and really something everyone should think about early on in life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 lets see here Early teens I ran an am and pm paper routes, mowed 3 or 4 neighbors lawns and assisted the upholstery shop in the neighborhood. Mid teens - all of that as well as spent a summer sealing driveways(that sucked). Late teens- 20's I pumped gas, worked at McDonald's, was a pizza maker, ran the desk at a Howard Johnsons, worked at a bowling alley and learned to repair Brunswick equipment, tended bar and a machine operator. Always had two jobs plus a couple years of college. The Machine Operator job turned into a Lead then a Crew Chief then a Regional Manager to Operations Manager which I do now. I manage over 30 manufacturing facilities in the eastern half of the country. I work from home in my t-shirt, shorts and bare feet 90% of the time. This allows me to walk out the back door and hunt before and after work most of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doewhacker Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Did laboring for a framing crew then switched to restaurants during college as I went for Culinary arts. Worked a few of those places while moving up through the ranks (quickly). About ten years ago I started with my current company managing food service and house keeping and now I run the show for a smallish sized hospital doing the same. Never a dull moment and constantly busy and I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doewhacker Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Actually you might be surprised, we are set to go to an on demand room service system in a few weeks and our retail cafe is damn good. It ain't your old hospital food any more. Plus I have a chef that does all that, I don't work in the kitchen at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
