where was everyones first job (besides babysitting)...

BrandonS · 05-17-2003, 10:00 PM

Working in the Scarsdale Public Library shelving books and fetching periodicals from the basement. I made an astonishing 90 cents an hour. However, I soon showed promise and they raised it to a dollar an hour. I did manage to save enough to buy a TV set (in those days most TVs were B & W and not quite as expensive as today). The worst thing I ever did on that job was to come in one day, sign myself in and out simultaneously, then walk to the back of the library, jump out the window, and meet a friend at a Mothers of Invention concert in Greenwich Village.

I worked for a local newspaper. I started when I was 15 for $3.35 an hr under the table. I would help bundle up newspapers and load them onto trucks. We would work all kinds of crazy hours and you wouldn't believe all the wierdos that would come and work there.

Good luck with the hotel job. It's nice to have pocket money that's not dependent on parents.

Well, I have never had a job before, so I really couldn't answer that question. Helping out around the house is my job(if you can call it a job).

My first job was delivering flyers for the Leader Post which I started in April 2002 and I recently just quit last Friday. It's time for me to find a job that pays me more than $88 a month. And, besides the flyers really affected my balance and my left shoulder was hurting a lot, anyway.

When I was sixteen I got a job at a local sporting goods store.
I actually worked there for many years, at a couple of their stores.
The pay was horrible, but after a few years I pretty much made up my own schedule and worked when I wanted to.

I'm still waiting for my first job. I've been trying to find one for the summer, but there isn't crap around here
