hmmm...first paying job was when I was 10...hauling hay out of the field and stacking it in the barn. Three cents a bale. Then mowed yards and cut firewood. First real paycheck with taxes and everything was at 14 working a pigeon shoot at what is now the National Gun Club. I had 135 hours in one week. Made $1.25 hr and no overtime. I was really pissed when I saw how much of my paycheck got witheld for taxes...LOL

We've all had a "first job"...What was yours

Tell us about it.

15 years old I worked the summer on a drilling rig to buy my first car.

How is that possible you ask ? My grandfather owned the rig, as well as 4 others, and it was 1967.

Fiesta Texas. I guess most of the people here aren't young enough for the SeaWorld/Fiesta Texas/Quest trifecta.

All the early twenty years old have worked at one of those three places, or that INfoNxx place.

Haha....I currently work at that Infonxx place....I make 10.05/hr base...not too bad...and I am much more than 20 yrs old.

My first job was at Baskin-Robbins on W. Military near Lackland/Kelly. Pay sucked but we at our share of ice cream.....I lost about 5 LBS. in the time time there (2yrs).

We've all had a "first job"...What was yours

Tell us about it.

I bagged groceries at Meijer. Had the job for 4 months and I hated it. I walked there everyday after school, about a 5-mile round-trip, and spent 3 hours or so bagging groceries or pushing carts. When they told me I had to forfeit the week I was going to Washington, D.C. because they screwed up the time request off, I quit. Soaking $800 and countless hours selling raffle tickets for a once-in-a-lifetime trip or keep my $5.25-an-hour job when I'm 14? I was blowing my money on magazines and action figurines, it's not like I needed the money.

I've since worked for the same company five years later, and they haven't changed all that much. That stint was only for about 3 months in the Seafood department. Wake up at 6:30 in the morning and gut fish for eight hours at $6.00 an hour. Wasn't exactly my ideal j-o-b.

So if you're living in the mid-west (Indiana, Michigan, and Illinois) don't get a job at Meijer. The union is more concerned about the 15 minute breaks than the work conditions for the employees.

If we're talking about odd jobs, I guess my first job was when I was 9 - I made $100 helping my much older cousins re-shingle a roof. My job was essentially to walk around the house picking up old shingles thrown off the roof in a Michigan August - 90-degree heat and 100% humidity. The air is as thick as a swamp.

When I was 12, I started babysitting - 10 bucks every other weekend to watch my 2-, 4-, and 5-year-old cousins, and another 25 dollars a week mowing lawns at my Uncle's house and his neighbor across the street.
