For the sake of engagement and getting to know the each other better, I have asked about your first car, your favorite song, and now I want to know what the worst job you ever had was, how you got in and out of it. Did you learn or gain anything from it?
I will go first:
When I was 21, due to I found myself in a difficult financial situation. I needed a job. I needed a decent wage. I was working on my education, needed tuition, gas, food, etc.
Working for the Department of Fish and Game paid better than some other jobs that I might have enjoyed.
So, I spent a summer working at the fish hatchery. Eight hours a day we would trap fish in a holding tank, move them into smaller containers. Sprinkle some chemical on them that paralyzed them temporarily. (I don't even want to know what this stuff was) As quickly as we could, we grabbed a fish, clipped a fin for identification reasons, and tossed the fish into the river. At the end of the day my hands would be swollen from the cold , I smelled like a trout, and I couldn't wait to get done. At the time I hated it, when I look back this job is one of my proudest moments. It is when I took my life (and fish) into my own hands and did what I had to do to reach the next step.
