My first job: Separating the grain from the chaff

When I was invited to write an article about my first job, I had to ask, "Which first job?" Our lives are broken into various seasons and as we progress from season to season, the first job in each is probably quite different from the first one in any of the others. So, to avoid having to make a decision on this question, I will write about "My Three First Jobs" and hope that the reader will gain some insight from each.
