What was your first job?

I know some of you may not have had a first job yet, but you can enjoy the rest of our pain. Your first job always has the worst stories attached to it.

The day I turned 16, I got a job at Arcada theater in the town I grew up in. I was the guy who had to do all the grunt work. I lasted about a month, after I told the manager, who loved reading comics, that comic books were for kids. Now look where I am... The mod for a comic book site.... Circle of life I guess.

My first proper job i took during school holidays & at weekends was as a baker..

Stockboy..

Mowing Lawns...wait that is my job.

I did have a paper route as a kid.  That has to violate child labor laws.  It was horrible.  And the winters...ugh.

I worked as a busboy for about a week.  A buddy of mine was working there.  The food was good.  We had fun teasing the kitchen staff.  One time I accidentally squirted the dishwasher with the big dish hose. 

Then it was working in a movie theater.  Just be aware that if you work in a theater during high school, you'll find you have all sorts of new friends wanting to get in for free.  I'll admit I did it only for a couple close friends.  Others I charged kid price.  The ones I didn't like were just out of luck.  Before the theater changed owners, they popped batches of popcorn during the weekend.  There was time I'd get paid to just sit in a room with my stereo and make popcorn.  I got paid for that.   Making popcorn.

When I was at the theater, I never had any of my friends want to see movies because I was at a 2nd run theater. That and while I was there, nothing good was out....

I worked in Rue 21

my first job was at Burger King and I loved it!!!!  Seriously, if they would pay me enough to get by on then I would work there the rest of my life.

I had a landscaping job for a woman who was out of her mind. I had to lay down huge stones (not paving stones, mind you, these were big, awkward chunks of granite and the like) in custom-shaped holes which I had to dig in order to make a walkway. It was back-breaking work, usually in 90º+ heat... Good times.

Cashier at Target.........wasn't so bad.

Setting up and taking down Jump Houses

Working at an amusement park ten hours everyday for a month. F@#king hated it

well I've always worked at a zoo, but when I started I had to clean up $h!t. And work the ticket's, I had to deal with kids... I hate kids.

I took an online class for screenwriting when I was in high school, got a c I believe, it was technically an honors class according to my school so I felt ok about it

My very first job was a car detailer. A.k.a  washing cars.

I volunteered a lot at the SPCA in junior high, but didn't get my first payed job until I was 14.  It was working in the dinning hall at a retirement home.

My first job was as a grunt at the local Canadian Tire garden center. Before that I used to work with my uncle as a plumbing contractor.

I worked as a delivery boy for a local deli, lots of running around
