I think my favorite job was hauling hay when I was 16 and seventeen. It was hot, dirty work, but I liked that so much better than fast food.

Working for an Amazon competitor about 15 years ago. I was being paid a fortune and was very respected there. I also did an amazing job there.
Those were the days.

Teaching labs in grad school. I taught the lab portion for two different courses, Intro to Biology for non-majors and Intro to Quantitative Biology (also a non-majors course). Yeah, the past ten years I’ve been teaching labs and lectures at a community college, but it’s just a different type of student at the university level.

I liked the job at a funeral company. I assisted the moaners. It was good money. I only had to be present and answer questions. Like showing them the way through the cemetery.

Working at the Library as a volunteer. I was young, it wasn’t painful, I had my family taking care of my needs, and I could take vacations as often as I wanted to. The freedom became less when I was paid.

I loved working as a chef. Miss it so much. Maybe not so much right now – COVID is laying waste to the hospitality industry in spades.

I was a volunteer Spanish translator. I put my name on a list and they called me to translate for a guy in the hospital. They only called me once but it was fun. Not many people need translators in West Virginia for spanish speakers
I really didn’t like my paid jobs except when I was able to help folks who had problems. One lady’s niece had been murdered and she didn’t have the money to pay her bill to get her phone back on. I talked to my supervisor and got permission to give her basic services (she could get phone calls and make local calls)

I was a Co-Coordinator for a very fast pace shipping department of a mortgage loan department for a savings and loan bank in the 90’s. A paper loans. Mostly Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans. But some jumbo loans. We sold and shipped 1000’s of millions of dollars worth of loans. It was a blast.
