Man, did I learn a lot in that place!

Tree Nursery next door hired me at age 13 ('70's South Dakota, we don't need no steenking child labor laws!) :Flip:
I hoe'd weeds along the rows and rows of saplings (20 acres, iirc) during the summer, then came back after supper and watered a quarter-acre of roses in pots, full time. My legs still look like "Freddy", but I had good spending money for a 13-year-old!

Worked there for two more summers, then moved on to trim carpentry...

electrician's apprentice.

It was pretty okay.

The employer didn't know that I only came for the summer and I was going back to uni. I had to lie to get hired.

Ohh yeah i did that too. in fact that was my first job!

I lasted 3 days, on the 4th day I went for the interview for the electrician's helper.

Same pay, better hours and i didn't have to clean my the soot black mucus from my nose after a day's job on the roofing.

I did all kinds of manual labor for my family (logging - seriously I was falling trees with a 24" chainsaw at age 12, lawn maintenance, etc.)

But my first W-2 job was as a concession worker at an AMC Theater. I still look back on all the jobs I've ever had (including being a doctor now) and that is my favorite job of all time. It was great because people are generally in a good mood because they are out to go to a movie and I got to eat all the nachos that I wanted along with as many free movies as I could watch.

1st part time (Summer) job: electronics salesman at a Soviet Latvian department store. I was 13.. worked for 6 weeks and earned mighty 75 rubles! :rof:

1st full time job: personal trainer at Bally's Jack LaLanne (which later became Bally Total Fitness)

 

[shamrocker]

For my first part time job, I worked as a non-commission electronics and camera salesman in a regional department store (K's Merchandise). Stayed there for 7 years, eventually as a PT 2nd job. It was a great place to work. I'm still working at my first full time job.

My first real w-2 job paid $1.45 an hour. I thought I had hit the jackpot.

 

[dpaul007]

My first job was working at a pig farrowing unit. Breeding pigs was my job. I literally help make the bacon/ham/chops some of you ate

Doing what?

 

[DownrangeFuture]

First job ever was at Jack-in-the-Box. I ran the cash register and the fryer. Lots of odd jobs followed, including electrician's apprentice, which was fun.

First real full time job was the US Navy. Good times... and not so good times. Saved some people, chased pirates, sailed in circles a lot, fixed radars, drank WAYYY too much...
