So I'm gonna say 2 jobs, since the last two I didn't change managers or anything </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-jobs-have-you-had-as-an-adult#post-848085 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 13:35:45 +0000 cheesetomywhine 848085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never had a full time job (besides being a mum). I was a nanny and worked at the YMCA during college. After college I had R and became a SAHM. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-jobs-have-you-had-as-an-adult#post-847976 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 13:13:11 +0000 looch 847976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't vote in the poll because I don't know what options to chose, but basically, I've been with the same company that has changed its name 3 times since I have been working for them. I've had various roles in the organization, but it's all with one employer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-jobs-have-you-had-as-an-adult#post-847955 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 13:08:49 +0000 googly-eyes 847955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since college, one, but it was only for a year and then I got pregnant and then had lo and should be returning to the working world soon. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-jobs-have-you-had-as-an-adult#post-847904 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 12:59:07 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 847904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's pretty common for our generation to move around a bit.</p> <p>I had about 50 billion jobs before/during/post-college, but have been at the same job since earning my graduate degree. But a lot of my grad school friends have switched around a lot.</p> <p>Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-jobs-have-you-had-as-an-adult#post-841315 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 00:00:34 +0000 MaisyMay 841315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Starting w/ when I graduated w/ my BA:<br /> 1.

I have a 25% chance of getting the job. There are 12 top candidates for 3 openings.

Plus, my last job was with the City, and there were lots of people who had been there for most if not all of their careers.
