It's definitely interesting to read the stories and the things people have done in their lives. While I have had my fair share jobs that fall squarely into the "Other" category, I have been far more focused on tech throughout my life with most of my non-tech stuff happening during high school and a little bit of college. I started working on and with electronics as a sophomore in high school and pretty much knew I wanted to work on with technology from then on.
So, something like this:
McDonald's cook (17, still in high school)
McDonald's manager (18, summer after graduation)
Pasta, salad, and sandwich guy at a Pizza Inn (college)
Cook at a couple of steakhouses (college)
Waiter (college)
Sanitation at turkey processing plant (waiting to go into the military)
US Navy Data Systems Technician (this was all electronics)
Communications technician (electronics, some software)
HMI Engineer (first software job)
Controls Engineer (Software, moving back toward electronics)
IoT Technical guy (lots of software and electronics == me happy!)
