No I would not. I worked in a restaurant and I really didn't enjoy the job that much!

Same here. My first job was also in a restaurant (El Chico) and definitely don't want to go that route again. That is why I feel bad about people working in a restaurant or fast food places. They work the hardest with minimum pay and benefits.

I really liked my first job; it was for a major mail order company. I liked the hours, and it wasn't far to drive. But I was making 2.70 an hour. The company is no longer.

I worked at a stable and traded labor for horseback riding. I was 14. I guess I would go back.

My very first, was selling shoes in an upscale clothing store and I was 16 so it was PT but enjoyed the customers, co workers and t he lovely shoes and pleasing customers by helping them....That kind of work is long gone, and I have not an inch of desire to work again, worked 40 yrs and enjoyed it all pretty much.....a lot of different industries...

Nah. I cleaned parking lots, and stocked shelves/helped unload delivery trucks for a local retail chain when I was 15. The stores no longer exists.

My first job was McDonalds. I quit after 3 days, so that would be a no. I hated working there.
![]() But actually I guess you could say babysitting was really my first job. I wouldn't mind that now. But only infants and children maybe 4 and older. Toddlers are a handful. I don't know if at my age I'd have the energy to take care of an active toddler all day !

My very first job other than babysitting was selling magazines and I was not good at it. I was thirteen. My next job was as a busboy/girl and I enjoyed that. I was fourteen though and had a lot of energy. My clothes always smelled like a combination of tomato sauce and tobacco smoke.

I did do babysitting, and mowed lawns for people in the neighborhood and and nearby neighborhoods when I was 13 and 14 (I did have better luck than Beaver and Gilbert in that department)
