A different twist on the question: what jobs did you work during college? Were they just summer jobs or did you work during the school year?
The reason for this thread: it is fascinating to learn how people began their work lives and progressed to places of relative success; also, it is good to remember.
During school year: a) had work study job in the Art Slide Library, recataloging slides, making new slides, assisting students & professors with finding slides. Best part of job was getting to know the art professors - very cool & interesting folks! Harry Titus was probably my favorite. b) worked dorm desk in Bostwick & Babcock collecting IDs from guys visiting the dorms. Best part of job was announcing over the speaker 5 minutes before visitation ended the names of the guys who were still in the dorm. c) senior year did typesetting for the OG&B (thanks to wakegrrl for hooking me up with the gig). my first experience with desktop computers (early Macs - named Larry, Moe & Curly).
Summer after freshman year: waitress at Cracker Barrel - Kennesaw, GA
Summer after sophomore year: HR clerk for Defense Dept. - Marietta, GA
Summer after junior year: worked for temporary staffing company doing short term accounts payable & HR jobs - Marietta, GA
Summer after graduation: 3 week anthropology field study with Dr. Evans on island of Saba, then worked for temp company again until beginning full-time job after Labor Day
