the question is, if we get an income, why move, I can not help it but move, Im like a career Gypsy.

2 summer jobs while in college. 2 jobs after college. Got made redundant, went back to college to train in an area I had always been interested in. 3 jobs since then.

Well, I'm freelance now, but have only done freelance gigs for one of the companies I worked full-time for, so I'm counting that as all one job. About ten different roles within that job though!

Actual full time tax paying jobs? 1 for a placement as part of my course. Also did 2 hours a week supervising a lab for a semester.

I left school in 2008. I had a teaching job in England for 2 years, did subbing in schools here for a year and I've got a teaching job for this year.

I don't know what my situation will be next year but hopefully it'll be a job for the whole year and not subbing again!

6 since 2010. Calls adviser in BT was awful, bike technician in JJ B Sports was worse. Sales assistant in Winemark was lethal! Now on my third farm in the dairy industry in New Zealand.

In Uni at the moment, had a job in a gallery before uni and now a job transcribing.
Doubt I will have one after I graduate!

I've worked in the same job since I left school (though through 4 employers ranging 4 months to 3 years)....(have stupid amount experience)

(With a period of unemployment admittedly

)

I couldn't even get a job during being unemployed in a call centre/ tesco to get money
Though I did used work week to week nixers on farms for cash back in the dole days....no way in fcuk id go back to that!

Mister Vain · 01-03-2016 09:33PM

Only 2 since leaving school in 2001.

ash23 · 01-03-2016 10:07PM

2 jobs while in school
7 jobs while in college
Two after college but before I embarked on my current career
5 workplaces since then but in two I had a change in position so technically 7 "jobs"

So 18 jobs in the last 18 years

Is that good or bad?

Really good, especially considering after going farming I've vowed never to return to retail.

Was a store right beside my old college and knew most of the regulars. Really good staff and management team. Also got the handy staff discount card so spent all my wages on reduced Buckfast wine.

Badly Drunk Boy · 02-03-2016 09:23AM

I've had two since I left school, but one since I left college.

I graduated in 1995.

MillField · 03-03-2016 12:59PM

Finished school in 2010. Had various jobs while going through college including one on a J1. Now working in a graduate position. I think I have had about 5 jobs in that time.

How many jobs have you had since school? too many?
