At what age did you start working and how many jobs have you had since that time? Did you ever have a period where you did not work and what was that like?

My first job: aged 16: Ponderosa (local chain steak house) started as the drink girl ("iced tea? Lemonade?" we were told to push those two as were cheapest)

Burger Chef (not to be confused with Burger King)-lasted 1 1/2 months

IHOP-five years as a waitress--made great bux--usually 60.00 per Sat./Sun. mornings. Partied like a madwoman with co-workers. Also worked as a puller/line judge for Skeet Club

Hospital--student X-ray tech, then as real X-ray tech in a clinic. then in a bigger clinic tech. THEN-got RN degree and....

RN cardiac unit
RN occupational health (GM and a steel mill)
RN for Coca-Cola
RN for State Hospital
RN for hospital-psych/home health care RN
now--part time RN for university and full time Uni student.

I have worked since the age of 16-sometimes 2 jobs-and haven't had a break despite 2 pregnancies (worked the very day both sons were born) and divorce and suicide attempts--day after I had my stomach pumped I was at a job interview--and I got the job. amazing what a person can do if motivated.
