Welcome to the list Jennifer.
Jennifer's post and Joe's reply made me want to do this, so bear with
me. I think it would be interesting to give a quick list of what we
have done over the years. I am 33 and have been in the field since
October 2002. I have a B.S. from the University of Minnesota. But
before going back to college, I was (NOTE: These are all after high
school):
-Assistant Dairy and Produce Manager in MN
-Assistant Produce Manager in MN
-College student in MN
-Route Driver for a soft drink distributor in MN
-Framer (House Construction) in AZ
-Car Salesman in AZ
-Warehouse Manager in VA and CO
-Bouncer in CO
-Route Driver for a beer distributor in CO
-Truck Frame Inspector in MN
-Car Salesman in MT
-Forklift Driver in MN
-College student in MN
-Tech Writer in MN and IL
Obviously in my younger days I let the wind take hold of me. And it
looks like there might be a chance in '06 that I might be adding to
this list that has not been updated since June of '03. Time will tell.
