About 20. Give or take a couple since I lost count of how many College Work Study jobs I had back in my 20s. Those changed every semester I was in school though....
Out of those jobs, I've had maybe 5 or 6 of them where I stayed with it 6 months or longer...and 3 of those jobs were full time work or close.
I know....pathetic huh? ^_^ I'm in my 40s and my resume should work out better than this.
But....in all fairness, I have a mood disorder or three. When I am *on* proper, working medication for it, I can and *do* work for a living whenever I can, yes, in spite of HMOs and income cliffing punishing me for it.
And when I'm not on medication? Well, my work history speaks for itself, when I'm not on medications, I don't tolerate workplace abuse well at all....and since most service sector, hourly wage work *is* nothing but abuse these days, well...
The reputation is that I'm a flake when I'm not on medication. Truth is....it's more like I can't *deal* with the cutthroat humanoids around me who *dictate* how I earn a living, unless someone decides to drug me into submiss---erm, that is, unless my medications *reinforce* my emotional resilience. ^_~ You know?
So yeah, about 20. Which in reality isn't *as* good as zero, because with zero, at least your reputation isn't *toast* from the get-go.
Thanks for your time. ^_^ Have a star!

Wow - at least a dozen or so; I'd have to haul out my resume and check to be sure. But then, I do contract work (programming and tech support), so that's about par for the course.
