What jobs?

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.

Which of these jobs required the balaclava and gun ?? :o
