I saw yesterday a TV show, when somebody asked some local celebritys about them first jobs. And i began laughing because i didnt know that a good singer washed dishes when he was 17 or a pretty Playboy girl was a cowgirl when he was young.... :P

What about you what was your first job, and how was it?

**Indy** · 07-13-2006, 05:32 AM

I've never had one. =\

I started freelancing before I got a 'real' job. :P

Helping deliver milk for 40p when I was 13

**pcdoc** · 07-13-2006, 06:48 AM

Started delivering newspapers at 13, that lasted six months.

Then, Mom and Dad hooked me up with their friends for car washing, waxing, detailing.

That lasted through high school and college. It allowed me to drive all manner of sweet rides, get some sun and drink a brew or two during the afternoon.

Except during the cold North Carolina winters, it is was a fine gig.

I worked at Dunkin Donuts when I was 15 for $5.15 an hour (minimum wage).

**matrixlover** · 07-13-2006, 09:13 AM

And looking at Lee, from 5.15 an hour to 50k a month, that's pretty **** good. My first job has been babysitting, or cutting the grass for neighbors and such.

I worked at Gamestop when I was 16 years old.. That was my first job in retail.

I have been writing for over 9 years so that's probably where it all started, I didn't start making money with it until I was about maybe 14 or 15 though, so I've received some practice.

I started working in a small town sporting goods store every day after school when I was 13. They paid me 5 bucks an hour (under the table) and gave me a free pair of baseball cleats every season!

I delivered papers for about a year, but when I earned a steady $1,000+ each month with my PC compared to the $20 bucks a month I got from the paper devivery, I knew what to do.
That was my first and only job.
