Re: Jobs you've had

I was a leg model for a year or so when I was in my 30s. Money for old rope!

I'd stand there wearing the clients' shoes/tights/whatever, someone would take photos of my legs, and I'd be handed a large cheque! Occasionally I'd get to keep whatever it was I was modelling, too. I still have a pair of Jimmy Choos from back then.

But I did have very good legs, back in the day!

Yes, me too JBR. Counting up I've had 16 jobs, not including volunteering.

When at school I had two Saturday jobs packing at a mill and one in a newsagents, selling and eating sweets

My shortest was a week as a housemother with problem kids and my longest 27yrs in 3 local hospitals.

Re: Jobs you've had

Thanks for all your replies. Interesting to see what people have done. But a shame no-one's been a pole dancer or a stripper
