I lost count a long time ago.

Cyrus, yeah - Grad school at UA. I'm finishing my MA right now and will start the doctoral coursework next semester. I've been working on mastering the three Rs - read, write, repeat.

Lots of time spent in school for me - college + 6 years grad school + 3 years postdoc.

Have had "real jobs" for the last 9 years.  I've been at the current place for 5.5 years, they keep getting acquired and changing names though (4 different companies in that time).  At least I keep getting new business cards. [cheeky]

Well, I'm a young buck I guess. I've had only three jobs in the last 12 years, the most current being the navy for 10 of it. Sigh...good times.

Wouldn't know a W4 if it smacked me in the face. I know what wd-40 is though.  :P

22 years working, 3 jobs.

Apprentice Fitter.
Fitter working on just about everything that has a motor except cars. Favourite was working on boats, fire tenders & tugs on Sydney Harbour. All day cruising around the harbour fault finding twin V4 outboard motors when we really knew that nothing was wrong with them.  :D

Now providing drinking water to 4 million people.  [evil]

36 years old...worked since 16 yo...6 jobs total over that 20 year span.

My favorite was either #1 (Go Kart track attendant) or #2 (airline baggage handler).

My current job is the best as far as pay and insurance go...not the most enjoyable though.  :-\

13 jobs in 14 years.

several times i was holding 2 jobs at once though.
there were a few times of complete unemployment as well.

my fav job was being a bicycle messenger in NYC. If I could afford to i would go right back to doing it.

Six different "real" jobs since grad school (not one of them all that terribly related to my grad work focused on economic reform in China & the Soviet Union. Didn't really even use either of the languages. I'm kinda stupid like that). Twenty plus years?  It's been all downhill since my first paying job (cash, of course) at age 15: rodeo clown at a little amateur rodeo in Mesquite, Texas.  [cheeky]
