you don't have to describe them in detail with dates, not trying to get you to doxx yourself

but it's kind of A Thing with neurodivergent folks to have tried a lot of different jobs, and I'm curious about everybody's count

I think I'm up to 21 that I've filed taxes for, which doesn't seem that extreme for 42, except when you consider that I've been unemployed most of my son's 17 years of life because I couldn't handle parenting and that level of outside obligations, so most of those happened before I was 25 – so 20ish jobs between 15-25

how bout you, how many things have you tried?

    Pulled out a bunch of software from Office Depot and some of it went for full retail price on ebay. The local sports equipment stores would throw out ALL of the ski and snowboard equipment at the end of the season, I also couldn't sell any of it out of season and couldn't hold it. There was a satellite mapping company and they would throw out tapes and hard drives full of what I assume were high resolution maps (hard drives were clean and I didn't have a tape drive). Your local chip distributor will probably have a full dumpster at all times of almost-expired food.
