16, McDonald's part-time for 11 months.

Yep. Then to Wendy's for 3, then a grocery for 4, then CVS for 2, then this travel agency job for the past 5.

Feels like a real job. There was a lot of space in there, too.

dustdream · 01-25-2004, 09:53 PM

i was 12 and did letterbox/junkmail drops on my bike known as 'the green machine'. i remember one lot was coffee samples, and my mum tore them all open and emptied them into jars and told me to say i'd delivered them!!!!!!

12 at my dad's restaurant. I would be a busser/water boy, but all I did was talk to the guests and let them ogle over the "little boy with the cute little uniform, oh come here and let me squeeze you."

My first official job was at 17 at a shitty restaurant...I still work their.

TheHeadOnTheDoor · 01-25-2004, 10:57 PM

bonsor · 01-26-2004, 05:02 AM

I used to pull weeds for this guy for ten bucks a week when I was like 13. I stopped working there because he made me nervous.

I got a real job after i dropped out of high school shortly after i turned 18 at mcdonald's. still working there. getthg the GED soon.

RopeyLopey · 01-26-2004, 06:37 AM

14 - summer job in warehouse, next summer I was working as a gardener - that's still one of my favourite jobs I've ever had.

professional wannabe · 01-26-2004, 07:09 AM

i can definately tell i had a much later start than mostly everyone else at working, and i actually definately wish i'd started working during my high school years.....

anyway though, my 1st job was when i was 181/2 working as an office aide for a college department. i quit that job during late summer 2001(i was 19 by then), and applied frustratingly at too many places for years, until i finally FOR ONCE got hired at a multiplex theater recently(slightly over 2 years later). i'm now 211/2, and i still enjoy working there to this day.

14. data entry at my dad's old job (software dev. company for telecommunication businesses). when I was 15, I moved up to testing for them, and did that for a few years. I actually started the official testing dept, because before it, the programmers had to test everything, heh.
