I’ve used this question to find out that colleagues had paper routes that taught them to get moving early in the morning. Other coworkers made sandwiches at Subway and gained a lifelong appreciation for anyone working in a service job. Other people mentioned pool lifeguarding and the solemn sense of responsibility that comes with making sure kids don’t drown. Apparently the statistics say we’re all going to have 15 jobs or more in our lifetimes. It’s worth remembering how each of those jobs has shaped us.
