It's surprising how unrelated jobs can actually fit together to build a wide set of skills.
Every job teaches something, and all skills are worth having.
We never know when we'll need the talents we pick up along the way. For example, Barb started out as a receiving clerk in a clothing store. Through this job, she learned that she was independent, organized and good at details. Then she moved into a job in retail sales and found out that she had great people skills. After a couple years in sales, she was promoted to customer service supervisor, a position with even more responsibility.
