    I've lost track of how many jobs I've held in my life. I am one of those people who are easily bored. After a maximum of three years on an *interesting* job, I was ready to move on. : ))

    Right now I have 5 jobs, I sell clothing for women, Care for my elderly grandmother, make pizzas, clean cars, and I collect parking fees for some events. I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life. The pizza job I have had for 17 years the rest less than a year. I think in my whole life I have had about 18 jobs.

    hmm.
    1) Art gallery clerk
    2) Book Wench (This was actually my title, I put "student library assistant" on job applications)
    3) McDonalds
    4) Other McDonalds
    5) Summer Communications Intern
    6) Artists' model (Best paying job I've ever done)
    7) Copy editor
    8) Editorial assistant for university communications office.

    2 and 5 were volunteer, people might not think of 6 as a job, or might not count 3/4 as different. So count how you want. I'd say yes, I have.

    Quadruple that. Mostly teen-aged gigs. I quit one gas station job to go to a concert once. And worked in a toy factory for an hour and a half another time before realizing that it likely wasn't a good 'career fit'. They mailed me a cheque for, like, five bucks?
