It just sort of dawned on me that during my ridemonkey tenure, I am on my 5th job. ....there were two more before that. So I'm on my 7th "real" job since entering the workforce in summer 1994.

I think I am on #4 since I moved to Seattle... It sucks too because in the previous 10 years before that I had a total of two jobs.
Ever since I have moved up here I can't seems to ditch the contract work. The one time I did, I got laid off after a year.

Throughout high school and college, I’ve worked for my parents’ real estate company and two bikes shops (Cycle Werks & Supergo/Performance). I also interned at two bike companies (Crank Brothers & SDG USA). Out of college, I’ve been working at Oakley for almost 6 months now.
Bike shop, steel processing plant, janitor work at a bank. I think that's it.
Sad but true, 15 jobs in 13 years. But over half of that have been contracts, I have worked for 2 companies twice, and 5 companies are no longer in business.
I would like to be with this company for more than a year, but they are a start-up like many other companies I've worked for, so you never know.

0 jobs, them over rated.
I've been doing the job I have now for 20 years, 7 months, 5 days.
It's a rut, but it's a comfortable rut.

Then there's my older bro who has never actively changed jobs in 14 years, but has worked for 4 different companies. His dept keeps getting sold.

Weird....my bro started out at IBM..splat said:
While I have worked pretty steady since I was 16, this is my first real job. Up untill I met my wife I never had much need for a lot of money. I just figured I would wait for my dad to kick of and leave me everything. Unfortunately girls require both time AND money... lot's of money.
By "real job" I mean a job that I can actually make a living at, make a career out of, that includes important things like health insurance, retirement plans and all that.
