What was your first job?

[Wardnath]

I work for Australia Post, as of very recently.

I'm in the industrial area, sorting parcels and shit.

Pay's good, hours are good, standing up for 5 hours, however, really does your legs in. >_>

 

[Keetron]

Woodlot general.

My uncle ran a wood lot, sold alot of firewood to businesses to cook on and such.

So he hired me on when I was 15, I pretty much did whatever he told me to do, chop wood, load wood, sell wood, deliver wood.

 

[KSarty]

Summer job at 14. Clearing and maintaining State Park trails for the town's Conservation Commission at $8/hr. I must have pulled 20 ticks off of myself that summer.

 

[Betancore]

Babysitting. I did a lot of it. Also some of my neighbours used to pay me to fix their computers for them or set up their email accounts. Sadly they don't anymore.

 

[Xojins]

Cashier at a hardware store. I really liked that one.

 

[Valkyira]

I worked as a barman in Nottingham city centre. Was there for a few months before I found the job that I've got now.

 

[Hollock]

I'm working at my friend's brother's Vietnamese resturaunt. It's pretty great I wait on people, Clean tables, do the cash register, make drinks, ect. I was told by a fat white lady and her adoptive deaf Chineese daughter that I was Zach Braff, and am working with my friends, and getting good pay, I like it.

I worked at a local amusement park running the rides in 'kiddieland'. Sucked because half of the rides I had to pick the fat little buggers up and strap them in. My back will never be the same.

Paper boy. Looking back at it now it was rubbish pay and crappy hours but at the time i was like "Woah im getting payed cash to ride my bike around".

 

[Break]

My first job was on the factory floor of a knitwear company my cousin runs. The work was tedious, the people were dull, and they insisted on playing the terrible local radio station all day every day. When I quit, I left a note on my desk saying "so long, and thanks for all the fish"; when my cousin saw me again, a few months later, he had to ask me what it meant, because nobody there got the reference. Nobody at all.

 

[TehCookie]

I clean up piss and blood at a vet's office, and I enjoy it. I started when I was 16 and am still working there two years later.

 

[ShrooM_DoughKiD]

Sales Assistant at Myer. 15. Sucked so hard.

 

[brainfreeze215]

I was 15, and I was an apprentice at a local theatre. I technically got paid, but in this case "apprenticeship" can basically be translated to "free labor." But I'm ok with it, because I was busy all summer and loved every second of it. And 4 years later, I went back to that theatre, this time as a performer, and actually got legitimately paid to do something I loved even more. The moral of the story: good connections are priceless.

 

[yoz13]

My first and only job so far a paperboy ... does that count?

 

[child of lileth]

I started as a caterer back when I was 14. I miss that job.

 

[chiggerwood]

My first job was putting fliers on doors when I was 11-15.

One thing I used to do at big apartment complexes was pretend that they were one of the bases from 007 Goldeneye, pretend the fliers were bombs that I was setting, and sneak through the complex pretending I was James bond setting explosives killing guards, and tearing out of there before they knew what the f***; all the while humming the 007 theme song.

 

[Dooblet]

Summer job at 15. Life guarding at a small pool. Hours are nice, I'm out in the sun, there are occasional pretty girls to look at, and the pay is decent.
