What was ur first job :-?

The juniors clothing section of JCPenney. Needless to say, I rarely took home a paycheck!

I have had one job - a social worker but in various statutory settings. I did not work during school or university years, and i would have been hopeless working in a shop, restaurant etc. I would however be an excellent cleaner and often think of this job as a nice change.

weeding and picking strawberries when I was 14. I was really slow, and we got paid by the pound for the strawberries so I didn't make much!!

McDonalds.

I was 15, wanted to make money, so i applied to McDonalds and a million other places.
Got the job, forged my parents consent on the form since i wasnt 18 yet.

Great time, simultaneously miserable, tho fun.

btw, never eat @ McDonalds, jesus, dont. Believe me. Dont. EVER.

AH!! why?! lol

My first job was a cleaner for a real estate company on Saturday mornings when the other staff weren't there. The girl who had done the job before me was the daughter of one of the real estate agents, and she left because she was moving away for University, but then changed her mind and asked for her job back, so they fired me for no reason after four weeks so they could hire her back. They didn't even employ me officially either, they paid me each week in cash so they wouldn't have to go through the paperwork or pay tax. So when they fired me, I couldn't really do much about it. I was 16 then, so I wasn't too bothered.

I was a model. Not a glamour model, just an ordinary model and actress - I did magazine and TV work, and it was hard going with long days but I was young and loved being able to leave school for multiple days a week, catching up on my work in my own time.

Aside from that, my first proper job was working in a supermarket when I turned 16.

Receptionist, Cashier, File Clerk (3 different departments at 3 different times in the same location) at a Braman Honda dealership when I was 18. I wasn't allowed to work in High School, or allowed to drive. School came before everything else so I had no use for it.

In highschool I made money doing freelance art commissions.

My first real job was a picker/packer for a mailorder warehouse a few months after I graduated HS. I worked there for 5.5 years, became the shipper/receiver operations supervisor and would still be there if the company hadn't been sold. Not very aspiring, I know lol. I guess I "settled". Being laid off could be a blessing if I could find another job lol.

selling fork lift trucks

not easy for a girl :laugh:

Lifeguard at 16.

I was a lifeguard, my tan was fabulous!

I was 14... I worked at an amusement park. In food service of all things... I was a floater and gave people their breaks.

Until one day at the funnel cake stand I brushed up against my co-worker and gave him a woody... no more funnel cake stand after that! Ah to be a teenager again....

Assistant care worker. My first job to do? Clean a soiled bathroom. I worked there for about a week.

I had a few jobs as a teen....babysitter - which i LOATHED, because it always seemed like the parents who had unruly children would always call me. Ugh! lol

I also worked at our local county fairgrounds for a time, nothing fancy: cleaning horse stalls, digging irrigation ditches, painting, etc... One of the supervisors thought it wasn't ladylike for me to be doing "hard labor" with the boys and made me sit in the office on his first day.

I complained to my dad and our neighbor about what happened. Just sitting in the office made my day go by soooooo slowly. He didn't have anything for me to do and I was dressed to work outside. LOL

Our neighbor happened to be on the board for the fairgrounds and called my supervisor - told him that he couldn't restrict girls from working outside (this was in the early 90s.). The next day I was back at it with the rest of the boys. He did end up realizing that I was one of the hardest workers there.

It was hard work, but it was a lot of fun.

I was a caddie for a local country club for 8 summers (right after freshman year of HS through most of college) in which I ran after golf carts for cash. I worked multiple different student jobs in college (children's library aid, desk receptionist, student safety). And then I hit the mother load of being an undergraduate TA for the Physics and Chemistry departments. I was a secondary science education major, so this was a big deal. Now, I teach 9th grade physical science, so I guess it paid off.
