    My first job lasted a month and it was babysitting for this total BRAT of a 2-year-old once a week at $4 an hour. I was 12, and it sucked. The mom tried to cheat me out of my earnings, too! >(
    I don't know if that counts as a real job though.
    But it's the only one I've had so far XD

    Do you still have your first self-earned coin which reminds you not to be fooled again in the future?

    Oh, if babysitting counts, then babysitting was my first job.

    I worked at a pizza place, Little Caesar's. Somedays, I got to wear the big-ass Caesar suit thing and stand on the side of the road with a sign in my hands.

    When you're 16, getting paid for standing outside is the coolest thing in the world.

    Back was I was a skater (board), I worked in a skate park. I basically skated all day. It was awesome.
    You hold my heart in your manly hands I wanna feel the throb of your handsome gland. I wanna hold you tight like a newborn kitten, against my flesh like a cashmere mitten. Tickly tick, I'm makin' skin bump heaven and all the way down it's lookin' cleanly shaven. Prickety pricks, it's stubble on stubble I better slow down or I'm in real trouble. Want you, touch you, feel you, taste you! Knick knack whacky whack 'till I see the man stew. spin you around let me see that hole! I'm a tunnelin' in a like a short hair mole. Once I'm inside I'm gonna leave a trace, half in there and half on that face! One finger, two finger, there fingers gone! Mano a mano I love you John!

    Sonic. Cheese and rice, that place sucked sometimes and sometimes not. The GM and the Ass. Manager were both badasses. But then another little manager came along and he tried to make dumb mormon rules like "no swearing" and he wouldn't hire boys from a grouphome because he was a prejudice asshole. It also sucked when Lawrence (the assistant manager) threw his keys at the distric manager and quit. It also sucked when I somehow lost eighty dollars from my money pouch.

    My first real job was working stuffing ads into a Sunday morning newspaper. The newspaper was really awful, chock full of crap that no one really cares about (there is seriously a full two-page weekly section about FFA activities around the county). There were a lot of people that worked there that had full time jobs just to supplement their income during hard times. The staff was all really nice and they tended to be lenient about a lot of stuff, but there wasn't a lot of money coming in for me. Still, only having to work Saturdays was nice, even if it was from 6:00AM until early afternoon (latest I got out was probably 4:00 or 5:00PM... that sucked. Earliest was around 11:00AM).

    Currently I do tech support work for the school. This is my last week, actually; put in my two-weeks notice last Monday. I've got another job lined up for next year, but I figured I'd stick this out until basically the week of finals. It's not bad work, really, for as flexible as it is. Definitely not a lot of money coming in, but it's money nontheless.

    I worked as a maintenance or "piss" boy at a local swimclub. I can easily say this was the most physically demanding job I've had to date, and I got paid minimum wage ($5.15 at the time).

    The tasks I was required to do included: sweeping the pool deck, scrubbing the pool deck for stains, taking out garbage, cleaning the bathrooms, cleaning the "birdcages", and any other bitch work they required us to perform!
