5 jobs everyone should have

[veronica_rich]

I know Cracked.com essays are hardly definitive tomes, but the one about the 5 kinds of jobs everyone in the world should have to work over the course of a lifetime nails it. I've had close to 20 different jobs in my life, some concurrent, and they've consisted of everything from paid-under-the-table wedding catering grunt worker (don't bother coming after me, IRS; it was YEARS ago and what I made was so laughably little you wouldn't be able to tax me on it), to paralegal, to dishwashing, to scouting locations for a film commission, to investigative reporter, to fast food cook, to editor.

Oh, and babysitting. And housecleaning. And pro cake decorator. (And that was just high school.)

Just sayin', I agree.

I wasn't aware of this site before. Now I can't stop reading it. *lol*

Definitely agree that the world would be a better place if all able adults had to do at least some of these. I've done retail - fortunately it wasn't too soul-destroying; I actually enjoyed it some of the time. I've also had a small amount of power. :)
