Graduating in May with my M.S., but I had an internship between the two degrees that was full time
 
1 since 1993... until the @#$@#$ laid me off.

Now I'm looking for #2. 🙂

I've had one relatively continous consulting position since 1985... but it's supporting my dad's company 🙂 and work/payments are few and far between... I count Michigan football tickets as my "retainer" fee 😛

I've had 1 other part time job.... I wish I could find another $25/hour part time job. The extra money was really nice. 😛
 
From 1998-2006 in USAF, separated as a Staff Sergeant. From 2006 to current, working IT for Source Interlink.

Edit- I graduated in 1996 but was still working part time. Joined the USAF to "make something of myself".
 
Two....although the first job was with a gov't IT consulting firm and they "couln't find a position for me" in 3 months so I left. Now been in the same job for almost a year and very much enjoying it!
 
Graduated May 2004. I started my second job in May of this year. If I have anything to say about it, this will likely be my last. Well, this company, anyway.
 
I only have an Associate's Degree, which from what I can gather from these boards is somehow worse than only having a High School diploma, so I'll list starting from after I graduated high school.

Ok, you got me beat. I was on track for the 1 job per year ratio until recently. I need to stay put this time.
 
1 for 2.5 years since graduating college. Had 1 main part time job in college that I had for 4 years, and I picked up others along the way.
 
12 in 10 years. Lots of lay-offs, and contractual work with different agencies.

The last two I've had since 2005 - full time employment and full time contract work.
 
4 in 12 years - 8 years at one company, over 3 years at another, 6 months (real crappy job, I was ecstatic the day I found another one to replace this one), almost 2 months at my current job and loving it 🙂
 
Since I was working FT before I finished my degree in my field, I've held about four different jobs in the past three years in IT. Before that, I was working PT in various computer fields trying to gain experience.

Edit: I graduated in December of 2006.
 
2.

graduated college in May 2003... my first job was in NYC, working in marketing. I got sick of it by Halloween (there were also some mitigating factors causing me to hate and loathe the company), and was employed in an IT job in a different location by Thanksgiving.

I'm still working that IT job (same basic job title, though I've gotten some nice raises and a relocation).
