I spent my summers in Connecticut scooping ice cream and babysitting.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My first job was scooping ice cream at Friendly's in Albany, New York. I hated the work, most of my colleagues, and the uniform, and I more or less lost my taste for ice cream permanently.
Growing up, my dad owned a restaurant in Washington, DC, and food was something I was passionate about. But when I finally got into it, I felt like it was so late in the game; that's why I worked seven days a week at Craft and Mercer Kitchen. I wanted to see how far I could take it.
My parents are both teachers, so we had the summers off.
I grew up outside of DC, New York state, and Connecticut.
I was working part-time as a cleaner while I was going to college and then babysitting after school.
Since then I have held many jobs at museums in Colorado and Wyoming. I have also taught summer courses at the University of Colorado.
I used to babysit a lot, and I used to be a nanny.
I went to college in Vermont, and then stayed in the East Coast.
My first job entailed spending a summer working in a cornfield in Nebraska.
I went to college in Connecticut, which was when I still lived at home. I worked at a video store, a wine store, and did odd jobs here and there like landscaping.
