    Any of you guys got jobs? How is it? Any past jobs that stick out, in either a good or bad way? How long have you been with this one, or what's your longest held job? What does it entail?

    I'm a bagger at the commissary. I only work for tips, but it's surprisingly good. Everyone's friendly, good pay, relaxed supervisors. All in all, pretty decent part time job

    Let's see, I've had 1, 2, 3, 4, now 5 jobs, still on the fifth. The first two lasted over two years each, number 3 and 4 were relatively short term for their own reasons. I've been at #5 since spring and I plan to stay with it at least through the end of college (unless a current annoyance continues to grow, in which case F it I'll quit and play Fallout 4 all day \,,/).

    I've been in several fields of work, but never anything food-related, so for that I'm thankful. First two were retail sales of varying genres, third was a more actual salesperson, commission-based job (never again), and fourth was a job as a technician tech in a chemical testing lab. Oh how I miss doing science every day and getting paid for it! Some things just aren't meant to last, but it still looks good on a resumé!

    Right now I'm working for a book publisher and, barring winter-holiday time for the retail jobs, it's probably the most strenuous job I've done. On the other hand it's probably the most monetarily satisfying and has the most benefits, so I guess you take the good with the bad. The population of my bookshelf has probably done more than quadruple over the past few months, and you know what, I don't mind. Books are nice.

    I've had two jobs! Though I'm currently unemployed and looking at the moment. My last jobs were only temp ones so don't worry I wasn't fired :P

    I've had/have one job and I've had it for three years now.
    I work in foodservice at a nice hamburger place and I'm the only one left who has been there since day one.

    I've had a job for about 8 years, coming up on nine, and I just love it to bits. I am a nurse at the local hospital & I work in the ER, to be more specific. I have seen many of my colleagues come and go, but I've been here since the day I was hired. Never missed a day, so bonus points I guess.
