30-Jobs

Tim Berg is 32 years old: at last count, he’s has held 33 jobs. He’s been fired from some, left others voluntarily, and been laid off more times than he cares to count. Each job brought with it new experiences and lessons, new coworkers and new schedules. He’s worked day shift, graveyard shift, rotating shifts, and on-call jobs. He’s worked in construction, manufacturing, sales, fast food, bike assembly, car lots, gas stations, restaurants, as a mechanic, a temp, a paper machine operator, a warehouse worker, a drywall sander, a truck loader, a welder, a sheet metal worker, a towel boy, a snowboard instructor, owned a property management company, and as a realtor.

He has earned from $3.75 to $40.39 an hour, and in a few jobs he actually lost money. 30-Jobs explores the troubles and triumphs of an American worker. If you want to learn all the lessons Tim Berg learned the hard way, this book is the place to start.
