    I took great pains to avoid having to get a menial job like that. My first job was at an investment bank as an assistant, and that's as close as it gets.
    I believe in the power of humanity.

    It's hard finding jobs here, as they prefer 18 year olds. I've asked in loads of places but was told I was too young, I'm nearly 16. A Chinese restaurant said they would take me, but my parents didn't let me

    I'm still at my first job. It's actually not that bad, besides some customers. I work at a pizza/sandwich place called... Apollo Mart Deli / Hot Stuff Pizza / Smash Hit Subs.

    I like my boss and my coworkers!
    (in a nonsexual way... that would just be weird and wrong, and I have a boyfriend)

    I never have a job because I don't want to work at supermarkets, if you would like to become a teacher, working at a supermarket is not good for experience in ur curriculum. And also Portugal is not a place where you have a job when you're 16 or even 19. It's actually bad if you work because then when I'll have my first REAL job I'll have financial beneficts

    Oh god. Dollar Tree is like TJ Maxx, except with even more ghetto customers, if that's possible. My heart goes out to you.

    EDIT: I forgot to add to that list, my tutoring job! I get paid $15 an hour to tutor, $25 dollars if I tutor for an hour and a half. I do this generally twice a week, so I make between $30 - $50 dollars from that a week, on top of my part time job.

    It's my first job in the teaching field, which is cool, since I'm going to be a teacher. I'm going to be hella depressed when this summer ends, because this job has been really helpful with paying for the gas/car insurance/bill from the gym. Even going this week without tutoring (spring break) is killing me, in terms of expenses, and I've hardly even gone out this week.

    I think my first part-time job was as a waitress in some pizza restaurant. It sucked because the owners were really really mean and I was clumsy. Waitress never worked for me. The first REAL job, however, with a contract and that lets me pay for all my things, is the one I have now. Which isn't bad as a first job after university, at that.

    I'm waiting (hoping) for some coffee shop to ring me and offer me a job there, and if they do, that'll be my first proper job.

    My first job was delivering advertising leaflets for a local supermarket. It was badly paid though and kind of boring.

    My first job was a Courtesy Clerk (bagger) at Albertsons.

    Today: I work in Customer Service at Best Buy, probably going to be switching to digital imaging.
