SwampD Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Why do I always feel like these thing are just mining for security question answers? "The name of your first dog and the street you grew up on is a your stripper name",… yeah, right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 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.

SabresBaltimore Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
