What was your first job? When I was a kid, I often sold magazine subscriptions, Christmas cards, and Cloverine Salve door-to-door for prizes or pocket money. My first job working for someone else was selling soda pop during performances at the local rodeo when I was 9. Lugged a bucket loaded with ice and bottles of pop up and down the bleachers. Think my right arm is still a mite longer than my left as a result.
How many jobs have you been through? In 67 years, a bunch! The things named above, jpaper route, sacked groceries, short-order cook and dipper at hamburger-ice cream store, ticket-taker and refreshment bar operator at local movie theater, collector for a loan office where our top loan was $100 from which the interest was subtracted up front (you can imagine what kind of clientelle we collected), geology lab assistant, working for seismic crew loading explosives and hustling jugs, medical records clerk for US Army, oilfield roustabout, worked part-time in college registar's office while going to school, worked as reporter for a total of three different Texas newspapers, teaching assistant in journalism department while getting my master's, taught journalism on a couple of different occasions, worked as reporter for business magazines. Freelanced a few assignments.
