What was your first job?

My first job was as a tutor one summer in college for around three weeks. I don't really count it because of that. Also, I was hired for that job sight unseen, no interview. I only worked about four hours a week too, which makes about 12 total.

My current job is the only other one I've held, and I've only been at it for 5 months. It's also the only job interview I've ever been through. I'm now a software developer for a fairly large software development company (5000+ employees).

Worked at Subway as a sandwich artist for a year. Not as bad as you'd think.

What exactly is a sandwich artist?

I got a job at the local furniture store working the receiving area at nights when I was 16. I would put out furniture on the floor and assemble said furniture. Also, if a customer needed something put in their car I would help them with that. It was a pretty easy job with lots of variety of work to do.

Upholsterer when I was 15.

I shared a paper round with my brother, but I don't really count that. My first proper job was in a stadium, serving hotdogs when I was 16, and was asked if I wanted to become a Team Leader after my 2nd or 3rd shift, it was strange being 16 and telling people in their 40s what to do.

customers anymore, they were such assholes. Though my boss was a giant dick

Sounds pretty gay.

Apprenticing as an electrician.

It was incredibly good money but it was also damn hard. 10 hour days, five or six days a week and it was entirely physical labor. I had to quit because I couldn't take the heights...I'm petrified of heights.

Paper round, I did one shift and was like "Fuck this shit" and then never went back.

It's just a fake title they gave the employees that worked there making sandwiches. Sorta like people who work at the Genius bar. I was about as much an artist as they're geniuses. . . . Actually. Prolly more so, cuz I can kinda draw a bit.

Sales assistant at GAME

I bussed tables for Denny's at 17.

Technically I was a paperboy at around 12, but my first real job was working maintenance at a motel.

Potato Farmer.

Construction at 15, mainly drywall once I turned 17.

Did you really refer to your PC as a 'she', or did I misunderstand?

I spent a lot of time on boats as a youngster. Traveling the rivers of Ireland for a year on a boat does things to you, man.

Ah, when i read it the first time i thought the 'she' was your Mum.

Back on topic, just a Waitrose when i was 17, boring!

Didn't have a job in my teens or anything. Got wrapped up in a photo lab at 21, where I'm still working.

lol wow that is hilarious. thanks for pointing this out

Not counting working at the coal mine with my father, my first real taxed paycheck came from:

worked as a janitor at a university when i was 15 so i could buy a new pc, after i bought it i tried to install an aftermarket heatsink on my radeon 9800 and broke it

I was 17 when I got my first job at a coffee shop. Don't work in a coffee shop.

I was a bus boy at a restaurant for ~9 months and then it closed back when I was 15/16. Have not had a job since, but I am looking now (I'm 18 now). I've been mowing yards since I was 11, but I wouldn't really call that a job.
