Has someone changed so much jobs in their life?

I changed about 15 jobs in 9 years.

I didn't find the working environment that suits me. I was working in Portakabin. It was very cold and caused sciatica pain to return.

I didn't like most of my team when I was working with the recent job. They didn't want to train me and expect me to do more. My manager didn't give me more tasks.

Most of my previous jobs were temporary contracts, so I could not hold the job too long. Other reasons were toxic teams, poor work environments, and low pay.

I took different roles in temporary jobs through agencies because I didn't have adequate experiences to get hired permanently.

I had been offered a good-paying job, but I turned down the job because the office couldn't be heated. The traffic jam is awful work at 8 am. I want a job starting at 1 pm or 2 pm until 10 o'clock at night.

I try to get a remote job where I can control the temperature in my room. But it is very hard to get a remote job.

Does someone have a similar experience as me?

Worked in the temporary labor places for over a decade. At times it was almost every day a different job.

Construction of all types.

Various positions in the moving industry.

Recycling, manufacturing, bagging manure, house keeping, auctions, even various positions in the food industry.

Once set up the stage for an election event.

And that's just off the top of my head.

Eventually got a permanent job in the waste management industry. That was the longest position that I ever held. Twelve years in the same area.

I started that job at your age.

I have a degree in computer science. And once owned my own computer programming business for a year.

@DeWayfarer Thank you for you comments. This is motivating me.
Yea I am like that but I have found that because of this my salary has gone up way more than it would have had if I had stayed put. So no complaints.

@OrionInTheNight Yes. I find out the temporary contracts paid a lot more money and I have got the amount to pay the cheap house for cash. But I still sort number. I may need to work again for 2 more years. My salary isn't a lot.

Thank you for your comments.
@Arrow17 I know a guy and he chooses contract work. He was offered a job at my work many times as a permanent employee but he prefers the higher pay and taking 3 or 4 months of vacation after every year he works.

The uncertainty doesn't bother him.

It bothers me though.

@OrionInTheNight I want a permanent remote job where I can bring the job to Turkey, Cyprus, Italy and Egypt. I want to avoid winter for to 4 months by living abroad. I will have more freedom work from home where I can stand for 2 hours and sit for 3 hours. It is better for my posture.
