    First job I got paid for was as a newspaper boy for the Washington Post when I was 14 or 15. First "real" job between semesters in college which I did for a few years in summers and during breaks was as a clerk/typist at the Securities and Exchange Commission. Kind of a cool job.

    Babysitter at age 10 and even though I was mature for my age, I thought even back then....what kind of parents would leave their toddlers with a 10-year-old they barely knew? Throughout high school, cool job translating French cartoons to English, with my EXTREMELY limited high school French, for 10 cents per caption. Belle mere? I would wonder. Why are there so many jokes about beautiful mothers (took a year so to find out it means mother-in-law). They were turn these things out by the hundreds every week, so I was encouraged to just make something up if I didn't know the French. My early start as a comedian.

    I was worked like a slave carrying trees and digging ditches before I was old enough to get a paying job at 15. At that time I started working at Burger King. I used to take a piece of bacon, wrap it around a chicken tender and dip it in mayo. I don't care. It was delicious.

    other than the usual baby sitting and waitressing at small events, my first job was mail delivery when i was about 16 or 17 (a summer job). i actually loved that job (for a summer) because we could pretty much make our own hours, I would go in early, do my rounds, go back, start sorting tomorrow's mail, and still have time to go to the beach with friends.

    7 years old, I was a child model and got paid real well for photo shoots, it was great fun to we got to go to all sorts of places and just basically played dress up...... I did this for about 3 years and then got bored of all the girly stuff.... Hair, makeup and dresses :-) it took another 15 years for me to start wearing makeup again and to this day I refuse eyeliner lol
