I even worked as a Lineman for the County fixing cell phone towers. Though that didn't last long.

Ugh. That did not go well. That did not go well at all. Welp, thats what you get when you're desperate for employees though.

What were you guys doing in the 2000s? I was working jobs left, right and centre while going to University and all the while gaining accounting experience.

I worked 2 summers working multiple jobs.

And I volunteered as a Youth Soccer Coach!
