Only half the age of Scirocco and John, but my contributions so far: Started working part time from around 12/13yo. Leaflet Distributor Car Washer Office assistant (x2) Set Builder (Film/TV/Adverts) (Worked on Lord Of War and Stormin Ernest (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0129908/) Extra for film sets (Lord Of War, they never used the shot of me, but i did get to meet N Cage) Cashier Waiter Dish Jockey / Chef's Assistant (was just used to prepare meat/veggies, I still manage to burn water) Ran a Boerewors Stand (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boerewors) (I loved doing this job) Bar backer Barman Bar floor manager Cocktail Barman Sales Rep (soul crushing job) Professional Layabout (Good times... good times ) Typist for a publishing company
Just remembered *shivers* these aswell: Cleaner at a night club in London (I always thought mens toilets were bad, bu OMG the women's toiolets make it look spotless!) Sewage worker (drove around in the sewage tankers emptying blocked waste pipes) Sewagee working is actually a nice job if you can get passed the smell
I've done a quite few odd bits that were less than a month of work but these are the jobs that have lasted for at least 3+ months: Farmer Office Assistant (current job) IT Support & Tutor (current side-job) Insurance Broker Software Programmer Voice Actor (just doing a few bits on my local radio station, such as playing characters in radio soaps) Classical/Jazz Pianist (this one has been the highlight of my life so far, did it for 5 months at the age of 19). Pastry Chef / Kitchen Porter Youth Worker Community Events Organiser Telesales Representative Warehouse Operative Stock Replenisher Ferry Driver (such a dull job, never again!) Board Committee Secretary for a gaming club (current... not exactly a job, just something I do in my free time) Fairground Entertainer (I walked about on stilts, did a bit of fire-breathing and made a failed attempt at the high-wire) - this one was really only for 2 weeks but I figured it's worth mentioning as it's a bit different. Anything in italics is unpaid/volunteer work. I'm quite surprised at how much I've done, I never thought about it until now but there's been quite a bit of variety in my life so far. I'm still quite young as well, so lots of time to do experience much more.
