you don’t have to describe them in detail with dates, not trying to get you to doxx yourself
but it’s kind of A Thing with neurodivergent folks to have tried a lot of different jobs, and I’m curious about everybody’s count
I think I’m up to 21 that I’ve filed taxes for, which doesn’t seem that extreme for 42, except when you consider that I’ve been unemployed most of my son’s 17 years of life because I couldn’t handle parenting and that level of outside obligations, so most of those happened before I was 25 – so 20ish jobs between 15-25
how bout you, how many things have you tried?
i’m 34. worked most of the time since i was 18. i’ve worked at 6 proper jobs, and a handful of odd gigs between real jobs. 4 of those were food service/grocery store work, and 2 were in construction.
edit: odd jobs have included hand sanitizer bottling during the pandemic, music librarian, and house mover.
