Poll question: what's the highest number of jobs you have held at once?

Today at market, young woman cashier was looking forward to her one day off. She said she has three jobs - "you do what you have to do" she explained. What is the most jobs you have had at once?

1. Four

Full time days working in a cement block factory stacking blocks. Mon, tue, wed night in a grocery store. Thur, fri and Sat night working as a bartender. Sat and Sun days dealing baseball cards. I did this for six months back in the 80's to save up enough to go to school for programming.

4. How many total hours per week?

[stevedeshazer]

12. Well, let's see

Janitor, 4 hrs x 5 days = 20 hours

Paper guy, 3 hrs x 7 days = 21 hours

Mechanic, 6 hrs x 5 days = 30 hours

71 hrs/week.

5. three.

college lecturer, Taco Bell employee on weekend, strip club bouncer at nights.
Teaching college paid less than the bouncer job. My female intern also worked at the club. It was a weird experience all around.

9. yeah, my dissertation advisor asked me

once why I looked so haggard in my time-series analysis class; I told him I was working at Taco Bell in addition to teaching, and not getting enough sleep. I didn't tell him I was also a strip club bouncer. Thank goodness I never saw a colleague walk in, although I did encounter a student of mine in there; he was too drunk to really piece together that his lecturer and teaching assistant were both working there...

7. That's certainly well rounded and all at once! n/t

8. Three: Cocktail wait/barmaid in a pizza place, telemarketer, slinging roast beef at an Arby's

I was working my ass off, but I was kept fed by two of the jobs and I was actually doing ok for cash. It lasted until the pizza place started bouncing paychecks and I finally got a full time job tending bar in a Moose Lodge. I HATED that job telemarketing! I celebrated being able to quit.
