Anyone? Lol

Oh, two of my former jobs could count as careers. One was health care related and the other wasn't. I've worked since I was 16 and have had many more jobs (that probably wouldn't be considered careers) to make ends meet. More of the generation X aged and younger people changed/will change careers several times throughout their working days. It's the new normal.

Nursing will make 2. Almost since I graduated HS I've been doing EMS.

I finally got my nursing degree at the age of 35. Prior to that I had a lot of jobs, waitress, call centre, retail sales, flight attendant and now nursing. I work in the OR now and all those other jobs prepared me somewhat for my new career....

Depends on what you consider a career I guess. I've had a ton of jobs. Not sure if you'd call them careers.

But I have a previous BS in animal science and I was working at training and breeding farms. Lots of people want to hire "for experience". Far fewer "for money". I did internships and apprenticeships for about 3 years and struck out on my own. Hate running my own business and at the time lived in a low population area where there weren't many people interested in my discipline of choice.

Otherwise I've been a milker at a dairy, hostess, group home DSP, national park ranger, dancer, and retail worker.

at least two prior to nursing. Finally found my tribe!

No other degrees.

All of my other positions since I was 16 years old (some may say career some may say job) were health care related in one way or another.
