What Was Your First Job

i worked as a stocker at a local pet store, the only stocker. wtf.

then the girl who worked the pets area(snakes/fish,etc) would never stick her hand in the damn cage and crab the shit not even rabbits so i always got called to grab them and do her job while she flirted with the manager, then i had to run the cash register, and mop, and polish, and do every god damn thing.

i was 16, i learned to work for what you want to it was okay.

 

I worked at a green house doing anything they wanted when I was 14. Then I worked in a Plastics molding shop thru high school (that sucked balls)

 

Trapper boy. Loaded the clay birds on a remote operated thrower from inside a concrete bunker for a gun club at the age of 12 through 15. Then it was a stock boy at the local grocery store. Started a black market of my own, selling smokes and chew to friends. I still to this day cannot believe they let a teenage boy stock cigarettes and chew. Always had farm jobs as well since the age of 10, doing hay or forking shit. 16 through 29 it was landscaping.

 

Waiter at the Sizzler when I was 16. I made more money on tips than my paycheck.

 

11 - washing tractor trailers and heavy trucks . Learned to drive them by the time I was 12 . Ofcourse nobody said anything to the boss lol .
Back in 1980 I use to bring home $600 bucks every two weeks for a paycheck .
That wasnt bad for a punk ass kid starting high school . Worked every night after school . Weekends rocked and I had to buy the beers for the bro,s

 

15 or so, cutting grass at a cemetery during the warmer months. Funny thing is my manager/caretaker was also my dad's boss when he did the same gig working through college.

 

Paper route. Damn St. Bernard jumpped on me and pushed me down some concrete stairs. Wrist broke in 5 places. End of first job.

 

You went back later with your Red Rider and took pot shots at his nards from the bushes to score vengeance...right? I had a neighbor Rottie bite me once and spent a couple days tormenting that damn dog with the hose, bb gun and dog whistle.

 

Good thread dude. You took me back to the carefree days. Hard work defines a man.

 

My first job at 16 was a "supervisor" at the town skatepark, so i got paid to skateboard, best job ever. I didn't get enough hours or make enough money so i started another job, this one is good. I worked at a small pharmaceutical plant packaging suppositories and hemorrhoid cream.

 

I cut grass and refereed soccer games when I was 16 and under, but my first real job was working summers as a warehouse worker for the NEX in Yokosuka, Japan (I was there during high school).

 

Hauling hay at 11 years old,It was hard work,Made 5$ a day.. That was the big beans in 1960.. Camels were 30c a pack and BB'S were 10c a tube.. The good old days...

 

Started working for Safeway (Von's in so cal) when I was 17. Left them and been working in the fire service since I was 19. I so don't miss the days of chasing carts in the rain!!!!

 

12-Helped some of my dad's friends landscape one summer, I got paid for it so...After that 14-working on a farm bailing hay until I was 16 and then got a job at Sonic!
