Was your 1st job on the path of your career? Or are you like so many others? Did you start working anything just for the money? To gain a little work experience? y 1st job was at a Burger Chef. Later to become Hardees. Nothing close to my extensive background in Customer service. What about you?

Hello ersmommy. I have been engaged in teaching since I started to work after graduation from college. I have been in the line of teaching for more than two decades. I once thought about changing my job for another one, even now. But it seems that it is not that easy for me as I am new to other lines. But anyway, I love my teaching job. Enjoy your career, ersmommy.

Hi there ersmommy1! I am still working in the same company I have started working for eight years ago. I love my job though the environment is not exactly what I can claim as a great one. I was offered the teaching job even before I actually graduated. When I graduated, I accepted the offer. Well, I am still here. Not because I can't be somewhere else but I just really enjoy what I am doing.

My first job was baby sitting. Kind of prepared me for my most important job in life, mother. My second job was a clerk in a variety store. (you're probably too young to remember Ben Franklin's and Woolworth's). I've had many different types of jobs, no career. I'm now a retired bookkeeper.
