How Many Jobs Have You Had?

[HocusPocus]

just looking to see the diversity of jobs you have had before your current one. after talking with some friends i have discovered that i have had a lot of jobs compared to them, so im curious how i stack up against some of the hot boat people.
1. All American Hardware in Downey Ca. 16 years old
2. Dock boy, Silverwood Lake Marina, 17 y.o.
3. US Air Force, March AFB, Beale AFB. 18-22 y.o. (reserves for another 8 years)
