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?

    At least 20 if I'm counting all the odd jobs and side hustles, but I know there's a bunch I've forgotten. But since starting my career job I've gone through 4 in 6 years, but I'm pretty happily settled in. It's realy common to jump around in my field though.

    Going over it in my head, I've had a fuck ton of different experiences... My life is actually pretty interesting now that I think of it.

      before I made the list, I would have said I have lived a very boring life, but making the list also made me realize that I have had some fun adventures and done weird shit nobody would believe now

      I bet if I told my neighbors that I used to sell Kirby vacuums door-to-door and read tarot for Miss Cleo they would Lose Their Shit 😂
