I was a part time silver service waitress at dinner parties at the 'Big House' ( Manton Hall) around my day job.
Sales Assistant at Timothy Whites
Library assistant at Boots Library Dept. ( anyone remember those?)
Farm worker including milking for 2 happy years:)
Seasonal potato picking in fields now under Rutland Water.
Petrol pump attendant and dleivered service cars back to customers
Van driver for brake relining firm.
Home Help ( to fit around having a child)
Van driver in the heavy commercial and plant world.
Van sales assistant in the above.
Sales Rep for 9 years in the above.
Lorry driver.......forever ( I found my niche)
Trainer now in the haulage world.
Circumstances made it impossible for me to stay at grammar school for the extra year to take my GCE O levels, so I had to leave at 15 (and always resented it) but I often wonder if I had been able to stay, would my career path have been any different.
I doubt it, as lorry driving and farm work were the two jobs I loved the most.
