Reply #45: I've had some cool jobs

[skygazer]

My first job, at 13, was at a riding stable where I worked in exchange for lessons. Did that for 4 years.

At 17, I was training a kennel of 76 greyhounds at a racetrack. I did that for about 8 years.

I worked as a snowmobile mechanic and salesperson for about four years which was a great job. I got to ride any time I wanted to and try out all the new models.

I worked on a road crew one year which was a pretty cool job since I was the only woman on the crew. I went from a grunt laborer to being an assistant to the grade foreman - I was in charge of a bunch of guys who'd been working at it for a long time but they liked me and respected me so it was great. That was my favorite job.
