Mine was a paper route. I was 14. The hardest part was collecting the money. Most of the people paid, but some people didn't like to pay. The guy who I reported to use to blame me for the customers not paying. After 9 months of that I finally quit.

I had a paper route and mowed lawns for a while.

The first "job" I had was at a sporting goods store when I was 16. I worked there and at another store through college. I think I was assistant manager of one of the stores.
It was a fun job, but I would never work in retail again.

I tend to forget things.

I was an assistant manager in one of the stores for a brief time, but since I was young and only a part time employee, I couldn't technically be called an assistant manager. I was basically a "senior employee with keys," but I did all the manager stuff.

So no, I don't know.

I was an associate at Kohl's for a summer before college. And that was only because my parents forced me to get a job. I hate retail. And I only made $6 an hour.

I worked in a deli washing dishes. I was 11. I quit after my friend got a couple of fingers chopped off cleaning a meat grinder.
