Ok well looks like I'll finally no longer be unemployed pretty soon...I'm 19, and this will actually be my first 'real' job besides Navy. By 'real', I mean that I'll actually be paying taxes and not just get paid in cash any longer. I've had jobs in the past, but it was just direct cash pay so eh, some wouldn't call that real.

Anywho, on with the questions:

1. At what age did you have your first job?
2. Was it a 'real' job, where you paid taxes, had a net pay, ect?
3. What was your job?
4. What is your current job?

My first job I had was a cashier at Taco Bell, a little after I turned 16. I quit after a month. It was that fun.

Right now I'm a pizza boy. Maybe.

"oh but DeBlayde, it's only 6 more credits. no worries there, yah? you'll be done at the end of this semester."
