I was cleaning out my old files earlier this morning when I ran across a folder with pay stubs from all the jobs I worked at from 1999-2003. I must say, I don't remember working 12 jobs in four years! What a horrible employee! Can you say A.D.D.?In case you don't believe me, here's a brief (and somewhat embarassing) rundown.

I can't believe I still had pay stubs on file for some of these. Amazing.
Were you a bit like me during your formative college years? Did you tend to job hop?

Professional Map Seller? I can't stop laughing. If I saw someone have that on their resume I would ask them about 10 questions on that....
i was wondering about that too....
Well it could be worse - you could have gotten fired from three of those jobs in a nine-month period... like this one person I know *walks away whistling*

Yes. I was a professional map seller for two weeks. It was my first "real" job out of college. I was told I would be a marketing coordinator. In actuality, I was in door-to-door outdoor sales. Selling spots on a map to area businesses.
What a scam. Damn monster.com.
I was not a hopper even before I was a grown-up. Had major jobs 1982-87 and 1987-93. Two short stints for money as second jobs during those times. The Chairman hates change.
