PT landscaping just for a few summers.

21 as a programmer for an internet-company. it isn't really common for people in austria to begin work before 20/21, when they still go to school.

apart of summer jobs of course. i had my first when i was 15.

Junebug 01-25-2004 06:11 PM

a few weeks before I turned 16 at a Baseball facility. it was tons of fun and will probably be the best job i will ever have.

mirrar 01-25-2004 06:11 PM

14 at a vet clinic. i was making vaccines and carrying dead animals and making sure no one died during operations and the like.

BlueStar 01-25-2004 06:19 PM

I started babysitting regularly when I was 12. I started working at my mom's office when I was 15.

DevilSaint 01-25-2004 06:36 PM

my first "real job" was as soon as i turned 16 years old and it was at a pet valu. nearly 6 years later, i still work there. heh. although i was store manager over the summer, and now its just a part time job again until i finish university...

i've had other jobs but i've always managed to keep this one while working at the other jobs since i like working there and its a pretty good paying job for not having to do that much work... and i do my homework/readings for school at work too, so its just like getting paid to do your homework :D

pink_ribbon_scars 01-25-2004 07:46 PM

When I was 12 or so I started babysitting and I can't believe anyone left their kids with me when I WAS A KID.

When I was 16 I became a waitress at Platters, a "nice restaurant" in my rural town.

mxzombie 01-25-2004 07:56 PM
