All the paid jobs I remember having:

✅ Babysitter

✅ Baton twirling instructor – one time a little girl removed the rubber cover on one end of her baton and jabbed another little girl in the upper arm, making a round cookie cut-out of her flesh. 🤢

✅ Lifeguard (at a motel pool with very few guests, other than the occasional trucker) I mostly sat around and worked on my tan.

✅ Waitress in a retirement community

✅ Retail salesperson in a children’s shoe store

✅ Administrative assistant – at a forklift dealership, a medical center, a municipality, and various other offices

✅ Fundraiser/Grantwriter

  1. Of course, I gotta ask: Which one was the best? Lifeguard with no swimmers would sound like an easy job for a young person, but I imagine it might get a little old after a while. Salesperson in a kid’s shoe store, could be easy or hard all depending on the parents. Ha, ha, how close am I?

    1. Haha, thanks for asking Brian. I did have some fun at the forklift dealership one college summer. I remember the mechanics bringing me their grease-covered time sheets and letting me drive a forklift. The whistling when I walked into the shop, drinking at lunch on pay day, being asked out in the office…so many HR violations! Good times. 😉
