What was your first and/or worst job?

Call centre. I lasted two days and cried to my mum on the morning of the third day and said I didn't have to go. I was only sixteen, bless...

I was 15 and a camp counselor to 30 seven year old girls. 8am-5:30pm. I'm still recovering haha.

First job: A farmers' market/fruit stand. During the spring/summer/fall we sold fruits, veggies, and plants and in the winters we sold Christmas trees. I would have stayed there forever if they paid better. But with just minimum wage and no raises, I had to leave. Great first job, even though the owner was very picky.

Worst job: Cook at a dining hall at my college. Pay was not that great and the hours sucked since I lived off campus. I had nothing in common with my coworkers at all. Only towards the end of my time there did I start making a few friends and by that time I had already put in my two weeks. It wasn't the worst job ever but definitely the worst I've had.

First job: Amy Joy Donuts in Chicago. I couldn't eat donuts for years after working there.

Worst job: Prep cook for an "all you can eat" restaurant. I was covered in grease every night when I got off work.

My first job was babysitting, first real job was monitoring the playroom and working gifts hop at the San Francisco Toy Museum when I was 12.

Worst job, after 1.5 years of being unable to walk after a snowboarding accident and the recuperation, I was beyond broke and took a job nannying for the most horrendous family. 4 terrors, ALL (unnecessarily IMO) on meds. 3 and 4 year olds slept in CRIBS with nets on top (complete with yarn knotted zippers) to lock them in on urine deteriorated mattresses. The 3 year old was not potty trained and still drank from a bottle/had a paci. The 8 year old boy had rage issues. The kids spit, yelled at and disrespected thier parents when I was leaving and all was met with oblivious "oh sweetie, don't do that" type coddling. The 10 year old girl was THE BIGGEST brat I have EVER encountered. These people lived in a beautiful, huge house and they let thier monsters draw all over the walls, furniture, you name it. There was gum ground into the wood floors like you find on a city street! The father worked for the Pentagon and mom was a kindergarten teacher for Pete's sake! Ugh.There is so much more to it but I'm getting all anxious even recalling that disaster. I stayed for 5 months. Was paid $20 p/hr and as hard as it was, I felt like those kids needed me. I got them potty trained, off bottles, transitioned into real beds, respecting and listening to me for the most part and in a far better spot before I left at least. It traumatized me so bad that I have vowed to never watch that many kids again. The End.

First Job - Drove the golfball picker at a driving range.

Worst Job - Worked temp job in Charge Backs for Fleet Bank. So much mindnumbing data entry.

1st job:
Burger King when I was 14. I worked the burger line.

Worst job:
I worked for a fence company about five years ago (when the doc com bubble burst). The actual WORK was not so bad but the people I worked with were the absolute scum of society.
Most were on probation and, because they found out I was a veteran, they wanted to see how "badass" I really was.
I really hated going to work there.

I worked at Dairy Queen for a month last summer before I quit. It was the worst job in the world, I'm sure, but it was pretty awful. I don't/have never had fast food, so customers would ask me what was in a particular food item and I'd respond with "meat and bread? I'm not sure..." hahhaa. And making Blizzards was f*ucking terrifying. I never mastered it. I did master how to get ice cream all of the walls, my apron, face, oh and my manager, while attempting to make them!

First job: working at a convenience store while in high school

Worst job: police dispatcher for college police department while in college. It wasn't that bad but it was mostly boring all the time (I guess that's a good thing :-).

First job when I was 15 - Stocking shelves at 7-11.

Worst job was a part-time job to supplement my income when I was in my 20's - sandblasting heat treating furnaces to be repainted and sold. It sucked, I only lasted about 3 weeks.
