    Yeah... the only reason I got mine was because my family is good friends with the family that owns the place. If you don't mind me asking, people... how much did you make?

    I don't know about the USA, but here in "south detroit" (the tip of Ontario that dips below the states) minimum wage is 8.75/h. They plan on raising it to 10 bucks in the next two years...

    My first job was as a movie extra in this movie. It was awful. I have a very long story, but to summarize, I ended up standing in a bog at 6 in the morning in October after already being awake for over 24 hours (and having punched in a full day of college classes) wearing what basically amounted to a pair of slippers and sweatpants. I stood there for about 15 minutes before telling them to kiss my ass and leaving.

    It was at Blockbusters. Not bad, but some people would get pissed if I reccommended a flick and those bastards didn't like fine art.

    Campus mail room at college. I loved it. Awesome people, lots of slacking, and no matter how skullskullskullskullty a job you do you couldn't be fired. Also, whenever I was broke (since I was only making minimum wage), I just stole money from the lock box. No worries.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    It was basically the greatest job ever.
    Dude, I've only heard great things about working at Disneyland.

    If I could ever work there, I totally would. Shoot, I'd work there even if I didn't have to work from all the awesome things I've heard.
    They just, like, give you stuff. I have a bunch of exclusive merch, we got ice cream and pizza all the time. My friend did get fired to taking one of the trashed pretzels though; they don't mess around.

    Servpro!

    It was great. The job itself sucked, the pay was meh, but the people were awesome! I'm trying to go back, but they have no work and won't reėmploy me without anything to do.

    I was a stockman at Wal-Mart. Basically, I just flirted with the cashiers all night and pushed shopping carts.

    My first job was as a movie extra in this movie.
    That sounds like the most retarded movie ever

    I work as a referee. Brilliant pay, assuming I'm not injured. And it's basically impossible to get suspended, unless you start swearing at the crowd. Good fun

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    When I was a teenager, personal skullskullskullskull smurfed me up and I wasn't in any kind of state to get a job, or do much of anything. Now I'm older, and way better, and I guess that looks real bad, because nobody wants anything to do with me.
