Just wondering what jobs people on here have had in the past and how you ended up doing your current job.
My first job was as an egg collector on a chicken farm when I was 11. I also caught chickens and turkeys for local farmers around my area and worked in a turkey factory at xmas and easter. I worked in various farms as a labourer in evenings and weekends until I went to uni.
At uni I spent time working in a pizza parlour and then onto a pub which I ended up working full time in when I finished my degree. Then I spent 2 years working with a roofing company followed by 3 years working as a sales trainer in a call centre. After this I spent 5 years as a sales rep for a agricultural company. I have then gone back to uni to complete a post grad which I am doing over 2 years now which means I am currently working as a sales rep again for my friend in his own business.
Summer job at school was filling up dry powder fire extinguishers.
What with?
paper round at school then a couple of dead end jobs labouring for Hydro electric and forestry commision in highlands of scotland during summer.
Got in with the wrong crowd in Wine Alley,Govan, Glasgow,(Rab C Nesbitt Country) usual stuff to start with theft,housebreakings(Burglary to those from England), theft of and from motor vehicles, local gang wars etc, then got into some serious crime such as armed robbery, Gun running between Stranraer to Belfast, serious assaults(GBH),
drugs and prostitution.
Got fed up with it all and its now the quiet life with the family.
Spent a lot of time in here.
