What jobs have you had?

I got my first job at age sixteen, and since then I have had many different ones. I started out working for minimum wage at an odd furniture store, then worked at a car wash during my second year of college, then a few restaurants, a pyramid scheme marketing place, and possibly a few other short, obscure jobs during my gap year between colleges.

Then I did receptionist and shuttle driving work for an automotive shop, where I met my now husband. Then during my last year and a half of college, I worked at a frozen yogurt shop.

Although most of these jobs were minuscule and only to get me by until I finished my degrees, I’m thankful for the experience I gained, for the people I met, and for the satisfaction I felt as a teen and young adult to be earning my own money and working hard to achieve my goals.

I’m excited to see what I do next and I can’t wait for the day when I get to do what I love for a living,
