Wow, I can't believe I read all 17 pages!
My first job was fabric store clerk (anyone remember Monique Fabrics?)
then home party demonstrator for Tri-Chem fabric paints,
then window treatment specialist in a home decorating store
followed by a stint of volunteering as a high school dance/drill team advisor - that was the most challenging :)
Then I got a "real job" as a certified pharmacy techician, first in a home infusion pharmacy, now at a major retail chain.
Only 6 more years to retirement (I hope!!)

My first jobs during high school were waitressing, working on a line in a manufacturing environment and then office work. After finishing secretarial school, entered the job market in my chosen profession and retired two years ago finishing my career as an executive assistant.

QuiltingVagabond, you brought back some good memories! My daughter was on her high school drill team and a community dance team called the Laserettes (Showcase Competitions) several years ago. I was a team mom. Lots of work goes into drill/dance teams. My hat is off to you as a team advisor!
