I was, once upon a time, a glamorous fashion model.
I once acted as an agent for a Japanese company, and put together a group of breakdancers, which I then chaperoned all over Nippon (oh, my gawds, that was tough!)
I've sold cutlery door-to-door, and I've worked on the exhibits in the Field Musem of Chicago.
I've built miniatures and special effects for film, and been the librarian at an elementary school.
I've worked as the jill-of-all trades in a machine shop... now I'm the CEO of my own corporation. And i'm piss-poor, but the title is so impressive!

I was also a USCF chess player, but I would not call that a job.
