Short-term jobs can be fun! And, surprising! I've been working on an article about the different jobs Bob and I have had over the years.

Many of Bob's jobs put his mechanical skills to use; that's not surprising. He completed a trio of tech school programs -- welding, heavy equipment operation and maintenance, and truck driving. His work welding on a railroad, building seawalls, and being the man-Friday at a transport company take advantage of that training.

But, jewelry artist, museum curator, writer, and shrimper? Yep, those things are on the list of work he's done while RVing, too. He didn't set out to do those things, but he's enjoyed doing then. (He especially enjoys the writing part when he hears positive feedback from you!)

I look at some of my jobs, and wonder, "How in the world?" My educational background is in social work and early childhood education. So, substitute teaching -- working with kids -- was a natural choice. But some of the others…. I am an introvert and not a history buff. Yet, I've had several museum jobs. And one of the most fun jobs I've had? Giving tours at the Green Door, a no-longer-in-that-kind-of-business brothel!

I'm still working on the article with the list of jobs. It includes so many more than what I mentioned above. I'll give you the link to it when it's posted.
