Wow! You have done so many different types of jobs! Rickshaw Driver?!? Rehabbing bears?
Sometimes I think I've been doing the same job all my life, only my surroundings and contacts change.
At one point, a friend & I decided to try waitressing at night for a health food place. We thought it'd be fun & we'd make some extra $$$. Hoooboy, that was hard work & the money & hours sucked. We did meet some interesting people, but in the end all it really taught me is I should be happier with my day job.
What is a job?
