Over my life I've had a lot of different jobs, some I really had to work at getting, most I didn't. These are in addition to helping and later running my Dads gunshop, plowing snow, doing yard work, garden tilling and all those week end jobs we all had like stuffing insulation in a new house, laying carpet, roofing, putting septic systems, handyman stuff for older folks, probably some other stuff I've forgotten.
IIRC these are the jobs I've had-
Ski Patrolman- easy to get, no one else would work for those wages and I already had the volunteer background.
Lifeguard- a little more difficult because of training.
Body shop "go-get-er"- easy, just like helping Dad.
Caretaker/laborer at a large camp- easy, they came to me.
Marine- I think that one you can figure out.
Firewood cutter/driver-easy.
Auto body man- easy to get, self trained on my own cars and with help from future FIL.
Construction/paving/truck driving- easy to get, they came to me.
Yard Monkey/truss builder at a lumber yard- kinda hard to get, most boring job I ever had, hated it.
Chainsaw mech/dealer- easy to get, started with a relative, liked it a lot but didn't understand business.
State Trooper- incredibly difficult to get, took 6 years, had to score in the top 1/2 of 1% to even get called in for the backgrounds, physical, etc. Great job for the first 4 years or so, got pretty dull after that.
Farmer- my choice of how to make a living. Never boring really, always something new to do, always learning stuff.
Kids today in my area have a real hard time finding a good job. You either have to know someone or have Dad hand it to you. Everything else is pretty iffy.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
