How many jobs have you held...

• justincredible

  

  ...since completing your highest level of education? This doesn't include part-time or summer jobs, just "career" type jobs.
  
  I graduated in 2006 and I am currently on job four. I just realized that is a lot of job changes for someone who has only been out of college for 4 years.
  
  My first job was entry-level in Indianapolis so I was obviously not planning on staying there long. The company was pretty shaky for a while and they knew I was interviewing for a job in Cincinnati so I was the lucky developer who was laid off. That was on a Friday and I had a job offer in Cincinnati the following Monday.
  
  That job was great (working on stuff for the Spelling Bee) but after a company split I "transferred" to a new company that was the new IT department of the offshoot company.
  
  That job sucked ass and I was extremely active in finding a new job within 7 months. I have been at my current job for just over a month and it is great so far. It has been amazing going from a corporate job to one where I can wear holey jeans and a tshirt every day to work, play ping pong numerous times throughout the day and have beer in the office on Friday.
  
  Cue cool story, bro.

  Started working at Kroger when I was 14 worked until I left for my frosh year of college. When I came back from my frosh year(I didn't go back), I started working at Delve, a local market research company and am about to come up on my 6 year anny.

  I started at Sprint my junior year of college. I never finished my junior year, and stayed at that job for just over four years. I was not planning on leaving, until this new job fell into my lap. I had to make a really tough choice, and left Sprint for my new job with Motorola.
  
  Looking back, that's the best choice I could have made!
  
  Now hopefully, after March...I'll be a full-time comedian and the dream will be a reality!
