I'm just curious to see at what age you guys got your first part-time jobs.  It'd also be cool to hear about what those jobs were.
 
I've not had one yet, but that'll probably change sooner than later.

I think I was 16, in a storage. My job was to put the stickers on the products. Until that day I was absolutely sure it was machines that did that. That is also the day I raised my ambitions by a 99%.

I had a paper round when I was 14 but I quit because it was stupid. I started working part-time as a waiter in Pizza Hut when I was 16. I'm 18 now and still work there, leaving in September though to go to university. :)

I was 16. I worked at a fish hatchery. People fish at our ponds, bring in the fish, and I gut and ice them. I was only working the weekends. Sad part is that I was only able to go out on the weekends because that's the only time I had. So every time I take out my girlfriend at the time, I would smell like fish.

Pretty sure it was 13.  My dads friend owned a deli so I basically just swept the floors and stuff like that.  I only did it like 1 day a week.

17 and haven't had a job since (21 now).  It seems like in this economy the only way to get a job is connections or a lot of experience.

I would have been about 10 or 11. I got a job at the local deli stocking. I did that for about 4 or 5 years until my family moved and I got a job at a butchers which I did for about 3 years. Then I worked one year doing entrees and desserts at a restaurant where I also dish pigged a little. That was the end of my part time career when I finished school/ bumming around and got a full time job.

Petco. I was 19 or 20 I think. I remember when I was getting some bugs for a customer to feed his snake and my manager was there with me. He was like.. 30? Anyways.. he was telling my about a girl that worked with him who i was say 15? and she flashed him in the bug room with him. I was just.. "ooh... cool man..." yea.. pretty damn weird.

I was 15 and worked for Subway. It paid minimum wage, but it was hard to get a job when you were 15. Now it's harder.
