Wow. I've had a few.
Recreational staff (lifeguard/umpire) at a HUGE church camp for 2 summers where temps reach 115 in the summer, and there are no shorts allowed on the volleyball court. (But it was still fun!) But after 5 weeks each summer, I didn't feel bad telling the other staff that I'd missed yet another Bible study because I was spending a little time in The Word. (Little did they know that this was the nickname I'd given my bunk in the staff cabin!!!)
Floor sales in a clothing store where all the young girls were instructed to walk the floors helping the customers, while the old bitty just stood there "goal-tending" the register (in a primarily commissioned job).
So between these high-school gigs and my most recent life, there have been oodles of "OMG, I-can't-believe-I-went-to-college-for-this kind of roles", but in hindsight, I learned from them all.
Then, finally - I'm not even sure how to say this - but the worst job had to be cleaning the crotches of thrift store pants that we were selling on ebay. Armani and Zanella were always the worst. Where are these guys wearing these? and what are they doing? PLEASE don't answer that!!!! But trust me, this was the worst.
Everything I've ever done, in my vast experience of workaday world has taught and prepared me for where I am today. Even the crotch-rot cleaning taught me about myself that I am willing to do just about anything, no matter how disgusting, to contribute to my family's financial freedom.
In fact, I think I may start another thread some day about the serendipitous lessons I've learned from jobs along the way.
Whatever it takes, I'm there for my family and my future!!!! :icon_super:
