During my first round of college along with personal training:

- Server at Hooter's - also recently when the economy took a bad turn.
- UPS in the unload: 45 foot drop frame trailers - graveyard shift.

I loved both jobs! :banana:

I was the only girl on a wall of 80 guys. They gave me a hard time at first until I showed them I was as good as them.

I worked 11am-6am then my full time job 8am-5pm; I had two classes twice a week and I also did personal training on the weekends. That was a struggle but I did it - and loved it!

Teamster's Union too! drinker
