The younger
me worked many jobs leading up to and through college. I believe there’s
something to be learned with each experience. Here is a snapshot of my
experience:

In my very
first job I worked as a police cadet. My group of about eight teens, was
assigned to work at a senior citizen residence. We went to the grocery store
with the residents and did errands for them. I learned to ride the city bus to
work and how to manage money.

At the end
of summer camp, I worked as maintenance staff at the Michigan State Fair for
two weeks (that was the duration of the fair). I was paired up with another
girl and we monitored the trash in one of the buildings. On this job I learned
to work with a partner and stay on task, even when no one was watching.

While
working my first full time job, I moonlighted as a caterer’s assistant
occasionally. I learned to make delicious stuffed mushrooms. One of my favorite
and easy desserts to make was toasted coconuts sprinkled over vanilla ice cream.
Very interesting "odd" jobs, Angela. My first job (while still in high school) was at the state penitentiary. I learned to always bring a raincoat to work on a cloudy day. My next job (while in college) was writing parking tickets. I learned the same lesson as I did on the first job. :)
