More about : whats occupation
Wow, you are the same age as me and you have 8 job before? I thought 6 was alot already. Most of my friend have less or non. I had been a package laborer, sale assistant (at Kmart as well, but in Australia), shop manager/owner, tutor, conservation biologist and now research biologist. I will have to say I work in the games and toys department in Kmart and it is fun.

I was a dog trainer since my 13th year and for 13years in total (in short until I was 26).
The first few years I was training only the dogs I was owning, but as soon as I became bit popular in the dog owner society, people started to pay me to train their dogs..
but afterwards I started the university and during that period I was working part time in constructions and once in a farm (picking peaches). Damn, that was very unpleasant job - you sweat due to the hot summer weather and all that moss from the peaches get all over you and start itching like hell... combined with the weather, it was hell indeed...
When I graduated (Information and Automation Tech) I started as automation engineer, afterwards software developer (specialized in embedded) for meny years and now I'm mechatronics (or systems) engineer.
And for me, mechatronics is THE job - you have everything: control systems, embedded software development, hydraulics, mechanics... it plays on all nerdy guitar strings...

Going to ignore the odd jobs I did while in High School and start once I graduated. Im 31
First joined the Army right out of high school. Was Signal Support (radios and networks that type of stuff) Spent 3 years in. Enjoyed it
Worked for the cable company for 6 years. Started as a installer worked my way up to service tech (was the main network installer/troubleshooter or if job had a high repeat call history)
Now student for Electical Engineering and Computer software engineering at MST.
Hope my next job is for the Military as a government employee. Though not sure how hard that is to get into.

From a 48 year old Man who has done a few things. Trust me when I state: "Do not do a job for the money." I know I have done it.
After about 4-7years on a job you will hate it as much as you did when you accepted the position. The only thing is you will have more responsibilities, bills, and be more tied down to proceed with what you want to do.
Remember if you do a job for money it is a job. If you do something because you want to do it, it is a career. I was a Journeyman Cabinet maker, love the job but hurt my shoulder and could not do it anymore. After that was commissioned sales jobs (being a doormat for rude public) Commissioned does not mean you are making profit on a sale. It means that you are willing to be treated like crap and blamed for everything in order to complete an order. Being in sales for 25+ years has really 'opened my eyes'. (shameless plug) I now shoot commercials for websites. www.netcommercial.net It is a new business and slow as I am ahead of the curve a bit. However I feel that it will take off, as people who open their online presence and realize that selling the sizzle is as important as being there after the sale. Good luck, and do what you want. Sometimes it is necessary to take a job that you may not want to do to make a payment <--see there is where you get trapped. However if you realize you are doing something that you enjoy you may be willing to make sacrifices and realize that a new Mercedes in the garage is really trite in the long run.
