I guess somebody has to represent the Underachievers. So here I am! After barely finishing High School (not dumb but it was the seventies and there were way too many other interesting things to do!), and uninterested in any of the career choices I was aware of at the time and/ or college education, I left home at seventeen, got married and found a job as a waitress. Until I decided on a real career, I thought. I never did. Stayed a waitress, did not stay married. Worked my butt off, bought rental properties, lost them (fire and economic colapse in the area) Got married again in my 30s. Had kids. Got divorced again. Through all stayed a waitress (not a "server"- not that fancy) in addition to side gigs such as home improvement, clerical work, phone book delivery. Having remembered being mystery shopped at a corporate restaurant I had worked at for many years, I looked into mystery shopping when online became possible in the 2000s. I started that. And over time registered with more companies and got more jobs.
In all, though, the most important job I have ever had and the best was being a mom. And I may have been pretty good at it because both kids did well with education, are reasonably well adjusted and don't hate me. I guess that was my carreer? Much too short!
