Five odd jobs Jack had when he was a teenager, and how the experiences came in handy when he was on SG-1.
age 13: delivering newspapers. it helped him become an early-riser & to keep going no matter what. through bad weather & even when he didn't feel like it.
age 15: sweeping up hair in a barbershop. he learned to keep his ears open. that ANY piece of info could be important, no matter how insignificant it seemed when he first heard it.
age 16: doing odd-jobs at a veterinary clinic. it helped him to adjust to death. not necessarily to accept it, just to understand that's it's a part of life.
age 18: delivering pizzas. he learned about human nature. to watch for people trying to stiff you on the price & who would be the big tippers.
age 19: busing tables at a nightclub. he got his sense of humor by watching the stand-up comics. he learned how to fight by dealing with the drunks on the bouncer's night off.
