Jobs I Have Had

I made a list of every job I have worked that wasn’t stand-up or something in TV - starting at age 14. Most of these jobs I worked between the ages of 21-34 as I was doing stand-up for free at night and trying to get things going.

Always be willing to get money however you can while you do what you want for free.
