    I was hired part time by a friend of my mom's when I was 16 to solder circuits onto motherboards. He had some kind of small electronics business. He paid me pretty well. Best job I had till I was substantially older.

    Wendy's, I did every position.

    I think I knew Wendy too.

    I wonder if it's the same Wendy I had too.


    Me also. lol
    I didn't get sucked into that until I was 19 though.

    28 years later and I still can't eat at Wendys anymore.

    My first job was as a salesman for Sears.
    I really sold stuff. Really. And flirted with the hot guys.

    My first job was concierge at the Marriott. I went and interviewed to be a server in the restaurant but he thought I'd be better suited for concierge. I basically just had to help oversee the concierge lounge and talk to the guests.

    I was straight out of high school and I was hired on at Toys R Us originally as a cashier then I was moved to customer services and then I was promoted to assistant manager because one of the assistant managers was stealing money and toys. I had only been working there for 6 months once I was promoted but it was a nice surprise.

    Baling hay in the summer and cutting, limbing and splitting wood in the fall - I got a cut of the profit for each season if we had profit. Not usually too much, maybe $100, but there was a cold winter and a hay shortage one year and I made like $1000 that year. :)

    Then when I was 13 I started cleaning elementary schools after school for $3.35/hour.

    15 years old, I had working papers and got a job doing Laundry at "Browns Welcome Inn Hotel". I had to be supervised with everything I did, so I always worked with a woman that had dark hair, and a lot of tattoos. She was always telling me horror stories about her boyfriend, and she seemed really old to me. I basically sat on the washer or dryer and talked to her. I remember she seemed so old, ironically she was 30 which is the age I am going to be soon enough myself haha.

    It wasn't a great job, and I think my paycheck was like 60 dollars a week. My mom probably spent that driving me there, but I was just so excited to have a job!
