Best/Worst Jobs Before Nursing?

[jadednurse]

What were the best and worst jobs you ever had before becoming a nurse?

My best was as a vocalist for a band. In fact, if you watch the movie "My Life" w/ Michael Keaton and Nicole Kidman, I was the singer in the wedding band at the reception scene. Red sequined dress shaking a tambourine. That was fun!

Worst job was my first job ever, working at Dunkin' Donuts. I still have trouble eating those!

Best Job:

Worked at a fish and reptile store for years as a teenager. I only made $5.00 an hour under the table, but it was amazing! I actually woke up everyday and could not wait to go to work. I loved teaching people how to properly care for their saltwater fish tanks and take care of their reptiles. The best part was watching how excited little kids would be when they got their first pet.

Worst Job:

I answered a job ad for a hostess for a bar/night club type place. I assumed I would be answering the phone and seating people but I was so wrong!!! When I got there on my first night, I realized that there were lots of women wearing next to nothing taking men who were coming in the back door into little booths and there was some shady stuff going on. I tried to leave because I wanted nothing to do with this but there was a guard at the door telling me I couldn't leave when I was on duty. I started panicking and screaming that I didn't want to be there and he let me out. I ran to my car and never looked back! That could have been a very bad situation.
