Thanks for sharing a couple of your jobs! I think there are many things you can learn in just about any job — including that you don’t want to do it!

Miranda,

Liked your personal examples. Here are two of mine:

foundry worker (college) — learned I didn’t want to spend my life working in 120 degree heat or lifting heavy objects

manager/director (post-college) — learned that success at a large corporation is 50% knowledge and 50% networking. just being the best at doing something doesn’t get you recognition. you have to continuously sell yourself and your worth to the organization.

I love stories about peoples jobs. They always end up being a more interesting history than one expects.
