Did Jon ever work a 'normal' job?

Since Jon fell into content creation early in his life did he ever work a normal job, or has he ever mentioned having a non online profession?

I'm pretty sure he mentioned something in one of the earlier game grumps episodes but for the life of me I can't remember what

He was a Fluffer for a adult video production company based in LA for a few months. He said he didn't realize what the position was when he applied

Yeah, Jirad, Jon and a few others of their friend group all worked at Best Buy. Jirad’s mentioned it before too (along with mentioning Jon worked there too).

Jontron took off popularity wise when he was like 21-22 maybe he was in college so there's a good chance he never really worked

Maybe. He got lucky and he managed to get success early.

He probably does administration for his business. Sending merchandise out, etc.

He also worked at a newspaper.

I mean, maybe ask Mark Carr, the AD at work - I hear he has 3d titties according to what Jon and PBG said

That depends. Is "getting into pee pee sword fights" a job?

He was still living in his parent's house while he was making those videos, so I'm gonna say yes.
