How did you get your first job and what was it?

I worked in a seafood market for five years during summer break. xXBuffJeffXx

That's quite a summer break...:P

:lol:

I'm sure the job has a terrible connotation attached to it, but it was actually a great job. It was right across the street from the beach so I could hangout there all day and work at night. The people made the whole thing worthwhile as well.

[QUOTE="SolidSnake35"]I have friends who are paid cash-in-hand too and they're eighteen. I've always wondered if it's legal, since they don't pay taxes whereas my pay is taxed before I get it. I don't see why they should get to dodge it.pianist

It depends who they're working for. But if they're being paid cash-in-hand, they probably aren't making enough to really matter when it comes to taxes. If you're talking about mowing lawns and such, none of those people would even make it into a taxable situation by the end of the year. And if they're working for their parents, the 'wages' could be called 'gifts,' and would be perfectly legal and perfectly untaxable, at least where I live.

They work at a bar. It's poor pay but they make £4.20 an hour and that must add up to a substantial amount per week. Besides, I'm taxed regardless of what I earn.

I work as a rinkguard at an ice rink. I've always liked ice skating and playing hockey so... I started 3 years ago and I still work there. I have another job too.

[QUOTE="TwiztidJoker"]Worked on a farm milking cows, shoveling crap, and move hay bales. For five bucks a day. It sucked.pianist

a day? what country is this?

Maybe he was just really young and working for his parents. Most people's first job would be doing some odd chores around the house for beans, but they probably wouldn't consider that their first job.

Chores as work?

If thats the case than consider me an expert weed puller, garbageman, dishwasher, and housecleaner because Ive been doing that stuff since I was like 5.

i got my first job at my private school at 11 and i got it because they are to underfunded to afford a real janitor XD

beat that OT!

I was 4 and did modelling and print work.

But my first job that I got myself was me starting my own graphics/character/web design freelance thing over the internet.

Work at a gym since august last year.
It's pretty good and i get to work out for free.
