My first shock was working for my uncle. He told me that if I vacuumed the carpet then I would get something. I thought money! When I was done he gave me a kick in the butt. He said it was something.

2.

My first job was delivering newspapers in my home town. My trainer did the route in 90 minutes. I had it down to 29 minutes after three years of doing that route. Also taught me I like inside work.

3.

My 2nd job was working at the public library. I got the job because a friend of mine referred me. My big mouth on the job eventually got me fired from my first inside job. I knew it was my fault.

4.

After being fired from my 2nd job, I took the first job I could find, which was cleaning all the toilets and mopping the floors at K-mart. I endured that job until I found my 4th job.

5.

My 4th job was bagging groceries. Again a friend referred me to this much better job. Here I learned that you will be blamed for not doing a job even if you never were trained how to do it.

6.

After graduating from high school, I drove down to Florida and worked for my uncle, and he actually paid me more than a kick in the butt. Sold my car down there and drove a stick shift back home.

7.

First job at college I used my past library work experience to get a job at the college library, where I kept my mouth shut and kept that job the entire year.

8.

Next job while in college was working for a bank, in the commercial dept. Again another friend referred me and coached me what to say in the interview. I got the job and my friend trained me.
