I took any work I could handle, so after HS I ran a blue print machine, after marriage, there were 5 kids, and farm work. I had to learn how to drive a big tractor so I could bail hay, chop straw & corn, pick ripe corn & tend to animals. After all 5 kids were in school, I did house cleaning in town, not my thing, so I worked in a flower shop, as a replanter of seedlings part of the time (seasonal) I loved it, but I needed a better job with benifits. First I worked PT in two cheese plants and then took a job in retail.I really liked all my jobs, but retired when our benifits were all taken away. Now I have the best job, I take care of grand kids, I have a barn full of nonprofit pets-Goat- horses-rabbits- chickens etc. I have a large garden and can veggies for the married kids.P.S. we have 4 great-grand kids. I was very lucky, Didn`t need much sleep! How many jobs that does that make?
