Your First Job

I just turned 15, haven't worked yet. About half of my friends are working or have been for a year or so now. Should I start soon?Zaeryn

i'm 17 and haven't gotten a job yet, but it is seems like good experience to get started earlier, over the summer that is. I know alot of people that work during school, but that would be to much work and stress for me. plus then you don't have to rely on your parents for money.

I started when I was 16, been working at the same place for 8 years now.... Going through college like that.... My parents thought it was a good idea....

My first job was shoveling seaweed out of the weediest lake in Wisconsin. Still do itkuenbre

Man, I'll bet you've found some crazy **** tangled up in the seaweed.

If you want to, it's probably not a bad idea. I didn't get my first job until I was 19 or 20, though, so I'm not one to talk. :P

Was 16 years old. Worked at a grocery store as a bag boy. Dutch Robbins it was called (AKA Dutch Rob U or Douche Robbins).

Was first one laid off and managers wouldn't give me a good reference. I wouldn't have given me one either.

Now I am an executive. I could buy and sell that store several times.

I work on a Tire Place and started working everyday except thursdays for around 8 months now. I love my job and it got me alot into cars. I'm 15 btw

I was 16 and my first job was in the deli at the local Albertsons. The hardest part was trying to make sandwiches for the people who couldn't speak English but made up the majority of the lunch-time rush.

I'm 17, and still work at my first job. I'm a Home Theatre specialist at Best Buy. So I sell HDTVs and surround sound systems and every other home theatre need. It's pretty awesome!jesseandnikki

As a young person with a real job, how does it feel when you work all those hours and earn every penny to buy yourself a nice video game and then see some spoiled jerk your age with no job and rich parents buy them anything whenever they want? That's what pissed me off having a job at that age.

target. or tarje as the almost rich like to call it.oddone12

:lol:

SO TRUE!!

Well, the first WORK I did was as an assistant teacher at a middle/elementary school. Wasn't a job though, since I didn't get paid.

My first JOB was working at a department store selling clothes. It was a pretty chill first job. Not like flipping burgers or anything. It was in an air conditioned store, I didn't have to do anything physically demanding, and I wasn't selling alcohol or anything, so it's not like there was ever any risk of me getting arrested. Most stressful part of the job was the occasional customer getting mad because I refused selling to them because they didn't have their ID on them so that I could verify the sig on their credit card. And today, I imagine that it would be an even less stressful first job, since these days NO ONE asks you for ID when you try to pay with a credit card.

Although, one time someone took a dump in one of the dressing rooms. I sort of thought it was funny, but only because I wasn't working for commission, and I wasn't the one who had to clean it up.

when i was about 14 my friend and I went around town mowing lawns... but that wasn't a real job. My first real job was at a dairy queen right at the beach. t'was an awesome gig (up until my last month there when management switched and went to ****)

working in a chilled place, right off the beach, girls in their bikinis getting ice cream, not to mention about 75% of the staff was female too. good stuff, minus management U_U
