working at a gas station, i was 140

didn't have a real job till about 25 - customer service part time however prior to that I was a full time athlete and that's where all my time went.
don't get me wrong, being an athlete is a full time and a real job however it does not pay much unless you earn huge endorsement fees and participate in sports that provide the potential for earning a good income.
I chose the freedom/lifestyle over having a desk job until I got burnt out and injured too much)0 -
I worked in a ticket booth at a state park recreation area. My very first day this woman comes pulling up screaming and crying. She was yelling, "Please call the police or the rangers. I think my husband has been murdered."
Freaked me out. Loooooooong story short, the guy had a terminal disease. He had taken his favorite dogs out on the lake early that morning. Came back to the boat ramp, put a shotgun between his knees, and ended his own life.
Everytime I start a new job I always think, well my first day can't be as bad as that one!0 -
Small pet shop when I was 16. I prolly would have worked there for free honestly. I loved working with the animals. Got to hand raise all the birds. Pretty much managed the store. Feed and cleaned all the animals, keep the store clean and well stocked and handled all the sales. Was a lot of dirty work for a first job but I loved it. Fun times!0

Aside from the paper route in my early teens, I got a job as a part-time short order cook, around mid-teens. Worked at an arena in winter and ball diamond during summer. Burgers, hot dogs, fries and rings were the only things I had to cook and also sold chips, pop, candy and other essential canteen goodies. .0

At 15, I started as kitchen help in an Italian restaurant. When I turned 16, I began hostessing at the same restaurant. Left there to work in fast food less than a year later.0
