Sleepy Hollow

Paper route (fifth to eighth grade)

Stock/cashier in a lumber store (sophomore year)

"Swamping" cherries (summer job)

Worked at a pizza restaurant, college cafe and museum cafe for the same owner, wherever I was needed to get my 40 hours a week (junior year until I was 22)

Also in there I worked little jobs (babysitting, helping with inventory for different companies, doing filing in an office), but they were just small things.

I've had the same employer for the last 15+ years, first going through the apprenticeship, then as an electrician, now in another position (a job and schedule I love, hope it stays great for 20 more years!)

So I've only worked for for five companies, but held a few different positions within those. Hope things go well and I can retire where I am, but if I get antsy and want to explore a new location, I have the option to transfer as an electrician or my current position.

Don't know if caring for two young sibllings while Mom worked in my father's business. Also later, worked in that business office myself. Was not "paid" but did learn a lot about working for the public and about responsibility. Then after college worked in the teaching profession for 34 years. I worked in a vo-tech school, then a high school. Went back to college for more certification and worked in jr. high and elementary schools until retirement. After retirement, taught a couple of basic sewing classes at a fabric store.Lots of volunteering here and there -- church, community, and a national historic site. Oh, and did I mention there was family -- DH and three children.
