Hey, I'm not Trump!  

 

I ran games booths at Fantasy Island for like 2 weeks.  I couldn't stand taking money from little kids.

Tree farm laborer would have been #8 on my list.  Backbreaking work, that.

Absolutely. Being covered in sap and running away from bees made for an interesting summer. I liked that job despite all that though. It was nice being outside.

I really enjoyed my three summers as a garbage man for the same reason.

I've actually only had 8 jobs, although my current job (Software Engineer) has been with 3 different companies including my college internship. I've only had one job I truly hated (Whiting roll-up door), although some of them I'd probably have hated a lot more if I was still doing them now. My current job is the best I've had (luckily) but I really look back on the 2 years I spent at Schoellkopf fondly. Sadly it didn't pay enough to cover my expenses so I had to give it up for full time at Timmy Ho's when I turned 16. I knew some guys who worked there for years though.

 

1. Took coats for parties at a Knights of Columbus

2. Counselor at Camp Schoellkopf

3. Tim Hortons

4. PC Repair

5. Summer Work crew at Whiting Rollup Door (this job makes me appreciate pretty much every other job I've ever had)

6. Temp Worker/Data Entry

7. Web Development
