Every job I've had thus far has been at the vocational center in my hometown, my university, and my church. I do not consider those "real jobs" even though I worked specific hours and got paid regularly. :P

I was 15, working as a bagger at a grocery store. I got moved up to cashier, and just recently was forced to resign (it was either that or get fired) from the job because of some stupid coupon bullcrap.

I was sixteen when I got a job at McDonalds in the airport. If you're going to work at a McDondalds, do so in the airport. You don't have to worry about drive-thru or restrooms.

I was 18 when I worked at the Social Security Administration. I worked 40 hours a week and made $13/hour and even got some overtime. It was only during the summer though, so I don't know if that counts. Those people are so damn lazy. I hated it there.

The day I turned 16. I applied a month before my birthday, they told me I was hired and could start the day I turned 16. I was so excited to work, I didn't care I was working on my birthday.
