    Video store clerk. I was like Randal from Clerks only I recommended Clockwork Orange as a family movie. In my defense we did not have a porn section.

    Worked for dad as his medical assistant. Started when I was 12, Let's just say he was more than a little disappointed when I did not become a doctor.

    At the age of 12, selling Birds Eye seeds door-to-door, delivering newspapers with my brother, and yard work. At 16, I earned my first paycheck from retail and at a library.

    Newspaper delivery boy! Also used to put out and take in a neighbor's trash cans for a $1 a week! First true job that I earned a paycheck was a bagger / stock person at a place called Valley Fair; sort of like a Wal-Mart but smaller.

    Friendly's waitress.


    14 (looked 20), hourglass figure, and wearing those blue and white checkered dresses. Mine was quite form fitting.
    I think the manager did it to appeal to the old guys who came in and sat at the bar and war stories...

    Yup, I was a hit...

    Didnt quite get it until years later when some friends saw old pictures of me in that uniform.

    Ah, the cluelessness of teenagers...

    I was 14/15 when I worked with my mom on the weekends sampling and selling random products for Walmart through a private company. It was really fun except when I had to advertise toilet cleaning products. I came home with a lot of free sample stuff like make up, snacks, and other things.

    My first job on my own was at Arby's. I didn't last long though as I had major social anxiety. My first favorite job was delivering pizza at Pizza Hut which helped me get over said social anxiety. Sadly that job didn't last as long as I wanted as the car decided to break down.
