Is this a resume thread?
First job: Cable installer; age 16-18; wage: 10$ - 12$
Second job: Wendy's employee: burger maker, morning prep; summer before I turned 19; wage: 7.25$ after some odd bonus (mim wage = 6.85 here)
Third job: Pharmacy misc employee; They needed somebody to help paint and set up a new section of the building (expansion); wage: 7$
Fourth job: Telecommunications Installer; age 21+; wage: 12$
There was some volunteering here and there. Day care and office aide.
The difference between the first and last job is (1) my experience in the field of telecommunications, (2) whether I could work on my own, (3) range of duties. For example when I started, all I did was install miles of CAT-5 data/CAT-3 voice cable and terminated them all at the site (not the closet), and then ran a tester on them all. Now I can terminate, troubleshoot, punch down CAT5 racks, punch down whatever that voice cable rack is called, install fiber optics, um...I don't remember what else actually, since all we do is install CAT5/5e/3
Right now I'm unemployed.
