I delivered flowers to flower shops, where guys sold flowers to other guys who gave the flowers to girls that were some times my girl friends.
I was working in restaurant and all the tips from customers I kept, coz I want to buy ticket to China, as I have my dream to become rich one day and I knew I can satisfy myself here only . I am here now . Rich and Beautiful and ...
Chef/ bakery manager. Worked my butt off to pay for a holiday, then said to myself, "Why take a holiday? Let;s just ditch this crap and go live somewhere warm!" And so I did.
Incredibly jaded working in a bank in the UK after just finishing a degree in English literature.
Back in the States, I worked as a stereotype for a few years. The stereotype position has three elements: unemployment mixed with bad jobs, drinking, and chasing tail. As a stereotype, I worked at McDonald's off and on between short stints at other entry level positions. My resume was spotty because I dislike work. I somehow managed to make enough money to consistently drink to excess and chase girls. Some call those hobbies, I call them vocations.
Now I pretend to teach English in China while I continue to pursue my vocations.
For 32 years I was a mobile target for every nutjob terrorist in the world, however after 20 years my employers decided I wasn't an easy enough target so they sent me to be a semi-mobile target in the terrorists countries, after 12 years of that I decided enough was enough and it was a little safer to become a teacher in China.

RAF ? Now I know why you have such an abrasive persona. British and Military, that's like twice the social maladjustment of one of them.

I ate food that didn't go right through me, drank in the pub every night and slept with a lot of women. Now I don't do any of that... Damn I miss real beer...

I trained dolphins in Rockingham Western Australia to talk to Japanese and Chinese tourists. Unfortunately most died of flash burns from too many camera shots. Saddened, I came to China to teach English!

Police Officer, but severely injured in a traffic crash.
I worked my ass off for 35 years covering my ass, working for the government and telling them they were getting ripped off constantly by unscrupulous vendors for government contracts.............. I escaped with my ass and came to China where I believed that these atrocities that I saw at home could not happen, because the Chinese would deal with the improprieties swiftly and without hesitation behead or hang or shoot said thieves of the peoples funds. Not sure if I was right...... but Chinese do seem to be getting to some of the bad apples in an appropriate way ...... back home they just change heads.
