How many jobs have you had in your lifetime?

and i have started my own construction company..had a contracting license.

economy killed that..(it was headed for death anyway,bad bookkeeping)..no repeat customers..was in business for 6 years(longest job i have ever had)...jobs were like two weeks for every three months..there is more to being in business than just being able to put a kitchen/bathroom together..(same with babysitting)(see over regulated and over litigated)

Why no repeat customers? Where they not happy with your work?

In my area, contractors who do new construction are slow but those who do renovations to existing homes are busy as hell.

I think they were satisfied..if they weren't i would have been sued..or they would have turned me in to the BBB..

I have never been sued and BBB said they had no complaints..
The kitchens that i have put in are exceptional, I have pics on facebook and photobucket..
but there is alot more to running a business than just being able to do the work..(same with working for someone else..)

I think it is because of the ADHD..they can sense i am screwed up, but they cannot identify it..(same with working for someone else)

after all..after six years i should have at least a couple repeat customers..

still no one has beaten my 50 jobs yet..
 
I've never had a job for longer than 5 years - although I'm getting closer to it now. I've done lots of different things from working as a short-order cook at Hooters (which was a lot of fun :) to supervising medical research teams (also a lot of fun :).
