Odd Jobs

A number of years ago my husband and I were talking about life, jobs, and writing interesting stories. It led us to make a list of the jobs I have had since I entered the work force at age 14. My plan is to slowly write about my experiences and how they intertwined in my life to make me who I am today. What is still with me from all of these jobs?

Here is the list. Any feedback on the one or two (or few) that you find most interesting would be great! Are there any you want to know more about?
