Yer First Job?

Game tester/rater. Still do it too but won't be once I graduate.

My first job was when my dad gave me one for the end of year holidays at one of his petrol stations as a Cashier and off-time Office assistant. It was nice place to work at since I basically knew everyone that worked there and had some previous experience helping out at the cashier. Had a few blunders with credit cards and those redemption cards but it all added to the experience.

Being an office-assistant consisted of me just laying back till my dad wanted me to do something for him. Which was usually get him a drink, go through some spreadsheets for him and filing a few things. Pay was good and I enjoyed my time working there.

And I still occasionally work at that petrol station from time to time when the station is lacking a few hands around the place.

Helping out at the family restaurant as a kid. You'd be surprised at the tips you can get if a kid is going around doing stuff.

I'd like to know as well. 200 mandatory hours is ridiculous. :l Were you an IB student or something?

My first job was with my aunt, just helping around her shop although there wasn't too much to do in the first place.

If you're talking about non-family related jobs, I worked as a market surveyor when I was 14 but even that was due to knowing people in the company. It's not what you know, it's who you know. (:

Retail monkey.

a fast food place ( sonic) ,, i despised that job .

Roofing with my dad when I was 15. Way to hot, way to hard of work, and my dad only gave me like 45 bucks for a whole day (8 hours). Got home and clunked out so hard for like 10 hours straight.

After that I went to dairy queen and applied for first "official" job.

Was a weird weird place because it was right by the city pool. Most business would be kids walking over from the pool still in their swimsuits. We would also get a bunch of pervs that would order a shake and just sit in a corner staring at the girls...

Cops had to come arrest people a couple times unsurprisingly.

I worked as a lifeguard/counseler for a boy scout camp. I still work there during the summers. Right now I work as a lifeguard for my old high school's pool. Wow. The only jobs I've ever had have been lifeguarding.

[by the way I started at 14]

My bro-in-law's salad shop at age 12 during the summer. "Fresh Fruits and Salads" isn't much of a catchy name, but the food was good. And now the shop has a sushi maker. ^^


Well that wasn't actually my first job, because I vaguely remember doing work at my aunt's workplace, cleaning the dishes. It was some fried chicken place. No not KFC. My aunt's close friend was the owner of the store and I used to shop with them at a huge warehouse-like place full of things that could be used in shops. But the childhood I spent with them was mostly at the Chuck E. Cheese's next door to the store. XD

Worked at a Starbuck's inside a grocery store, it Sucked. Was alwayas the only person there for 4 freking hours with jack shit to do. Seriously, I mainly stood there from freaking 4 pm when the shift I normally had started. Till 7 an hour before I closed. Then I would spend the last hour doing the things i was supposed to do in the half hour after the store closed, that no matter how fast i did them takes an hour and a half to do.

Anyway it sucked and I have no damn desire to work there again. Only good thing that came from it is I discovered that there Tazo Black Tea is not that bad.

At a fast food restaurant. I hated it so I quit, working ain't easy for me.

After swearing I would never return to my High School, I ended up tutoring at it. I had to leave for 2nd semester because my University schedule conflicted with it.

I don't think selling drugs counts for this question. I mean, sure, pushin' and pimpin' ain't easy, but it's a lot more...liberal than most jobs.



I never went to university, and I've also never had a job wearing a paper hat. Although every job I ever had required I wear a hat, they were all cloth.

I occasionally did work for my dad when I was young for extra cash, but my first real job was at McDonalds when I was 15.

My bad.

Dishwasher. I quit after a week cause my boss was a bitch.

Ya damn right, son.

Actually, the job I had for the longest amount of time(two years), was in a real kitchen, not fast food. But when you deal with food, in general, you are told to cover your head. Hats are easy and look less ridiculous on me than most things.

Well, I never really understood the hat concept. Is it to prevent hair from falling on the food or just a whim of the manager?

cafe waitress though the place was quite............

a tutor. not really a hard thing to do, and my students were cute, and good pay too. can't ask for more.

I worked in for a company that was making hospital stuff (from bars and beds to surgery devices).
