Worked as a shitkicker in a steel fabrications job for a couple years after highschool (21 now) until I was accepted into uni and started making cash online. So glad it is only a memory now, 6 days a week, up at 4:30 in the morning home at around 6:30 at night. Good money, good workout and picked up some useful skills, but that job sucked.

made elevator lighting.. yeah it suuucked!

bused and waited tables, tree service and construction in college.....

Mr. Romance

bus boy, dishwasher, zellers employee, loblaws cashier

thats about it :)

I am too burned out from last night to list them all . . . but I have worn many, many hats

I was a landscaper, a cook, a baker, and an apprentice pressman

Army for 11 years, pressman for 2.

I was a block Mason for 20 years and a part time photographer. I was finally able to quit masonry 4 years ago and do photography full time. Now I'm living the dream thanks to tthe internet :thumbsup

I only had three longterm (6 mos+) jobs before this.. I did roofing for a couple weeks. I worked at the very first ISP to open up in my town, and a pc store repairing computers.. But I was on my own when I was 19, no regular jobs since then.

I have been jack the lad doing every thing but the final result was working from home on the net

I've never had an offline job I've always done webmastering...

However, I did once work at UPS for 1 afternoon.

front desk dood at a hotel

My top 3 shitty jobs:
- I was a mover for United Van Lines in Phoenix during the summer :thumbsup
- I was food server at Olive Garden in Vegas
- I worked for a Jewish funeral home in South Beach Miami - GRAVEYARD SHIFT (no i'm not joking)


Next ask for the coolest gigs we've had :winkwink:

Dishwasher when I was 16 for about 6 months, that's the extent of my offline work. I'm one lucky sob

Worked on fishing boats
fishing docks
crab boats (off the washington coast so none of that scary alaskin shit )
bus boy
cashier
ice cream scooper

Pizza maker, dishwasher/busboy, lots of PC board inspecting, manufacturing and quality control (2 different companies with those), commercial photolab work from splicing to developing to printing to inspecting. Then I got heavy into PC's and taught myself programming etc. At the time there was no "commercial internet" so to speak, so I had to work again, so worked in electronic retail sales up through management over the next 10 yrs. (missing the birth and growth of the 'net as we know it)

Then adult sales kicked in and that was that.

i used to build in-ground pools.

I worked at a carwash during the summer before college and I worked at Chuck E. Cheese for 2 days when I was 16. I quit when they wanted me to wear the giant mouse suit.

I guess you could say I still am a "bust boy" since I'm around boobies lots of the time.

My first real job was great (paperboy and lawnmower boy don't count) - I worked at a pinball parlor (anybody remember pinball?), and I was the closer, so I would let all my buddies in after hours and we would crank up the tunes, burn some doobies, and play free pinball. That was a great gig while it lasted...

The only other menial labor job I had was at a Baskin Robbins Ice Cream shop. 31 flavors my ass...when you are up to your elbows in sticky ice cream day after day, it all smells and tastes the same.

i've had almost all those jobs, summer or afterschool gigs - actually enjoyed a few of them - and a few were brutal and it reminds me what a large % of the population actually has to deal with - and when somebody is a lazy ass and flakes on me in this industry it pisses me off.
