I have had a lot of jobs in the past. I mean a lot. In fact since last night I have been trying to think of them all so I could make a list. I started working when I was about fifteen helping out at different construction sites and from then on it was several unbelievably random jobs. So I thought it would be fun to try to list all the jobs I have had since then. Here goes.
Keep in mind, I have an atrocious memory, and some of these may be out of order.
- Construction site cleaner upper guy (Northern California)
- Dairy Queen (Northern California)
- Paver (As in road paving, asphalt stuff for a Paving company)
- Bookstore Employee (Northern California)
- Graphic Design Intern (Portland, OR)

- Movie Prop Warehouse Truck Loader (Southern California)
- Borders Books (Southern California)
- Landscaper (Northern California)

- Assistant Road Manager (Third Day - Tennessee)
- Merchandise Seller (Audio Adrenaline - Tennessee)
- Assistant Road Manager (MercyMe - Tennessee)
- Road Manager (Shaun Groves - Tennessee)
- Road Manager (Phil Wickham - Tennessee)
- Some sort of blogging thing that’s hard to explain.
Okay, your turn. List every job you have had since you started working. Have fun.

Mother #3
Specialized Outbound Telemarketer (MO) - cold calling CEO’s with crazy-hard-to-pronounce-correctly names who have lots of money and little time…SUPER fun job, not
