What did Jeffrey Dahmer do for a living?

Jeffrey Dahmer joined the army in 1979 and served as a medic in Germany before being honorably discharged.

According to his stepmother, Shari Dahmer, it was his propensity for drinking that earned him a layoff over alcohol-related issues, the AP reported.

After serving in the Army, Dahmer held a variety of odd jobs, including a job at a deli in Miami Beach, Florida.

However, he was forced to move to West Allis, Wisconsin, because his alcohol abuse took precedence over paying rent, according to Country Living.

While living with his grandmother in Wisconsin, Dahmer worked as a phlebotomist at the Milwaukee Blood Plasma Center for less than a year before being discharged.

In 1985, Dahmer was hired as a night-shift mixer at the Milwaukee Ambrosia Chocolate Factory, which ultimately gave him time to do whatever he wanted during the day.
