What was your first job?

At 15, I worked for a little fast food place near my high school.

I've been craving those burritos all day.



First job was at a little hole in the wall fast food place called Bowinkles. They made the best tacos and milk shakes.

At 16 I was a convenience store clerk. All in all it was a super low stress and overall an enjoyable job. Well, it paid really poorly, but its not exactly a job with an expectation to make even over $10 an hour.

The only job that was lower stress was when I worked as a cook/bar back at a bar in town. We could drink at work and got steep discounts on booze.B|

Grading calculus homework papers for the math department at my school. Did that for a couple of years. Wasn't thrilling but paid pretty well and I could set my own hours.

About a month later I started coaching kids gymnastics. Kept that job until I moved 6 years later. Was pretty cool to see the kids I started with when they were 4-6 years old grow up. They're all in middle school/high school/college now. Still chat with a few of them on Facebook.

My first job was actually a summer job right after my first year of college. Assistant in a printing shop, summer of '87. Kind of boring. There was hardly anything to do but collate, cut and punch paper. I even got caught napping on the job. :$

At 9, I got paid to clean the bathrooms at my dad's auto repair shop twice a week. At 11, I had a job washing dishes at a local steak house.

It shouldn't be at all surprising that my two least favorite things to do now are clean bathrooms and wash dishes.

I started babysitting at 11.

Then at 15 I briefly worked at a hotel in a national park. I was send down to the bowels of the hotel to the laundry room. I did all the laundry for the hotel; sheets, towels, everything. I was the only one down there. Not only that, but I was forced to wear the maid uniform of a hideous dress. I was only there for two weeks. I thought the three hundred dollar check I got was a million dollars. I made that stretch the rest of the summer.

Then at 16 I started at a go-kart track and was there for three years. I liked that much better. :D

I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am.

Standard stuff: Yardwork, pet stitting, babysitting, covered a friends paper route.

Worked for my Mom's company doing filing and shipping.

First "real" job was Hardees as a cashier at 16.
