    Default Workin', 9 to 5.

    Well, as some of you may have noticed, due to my recent theme change, I recently got a Subway sandwich shop. It's pretty nice, decent pay, and most importantly, five minutes from my house. This isn't because I'm lazy, it's because besides the Subway, my next job oppurtunity is about 15 miles away in town. So, I must say, I rather enjoy my job as of now, and hopefully I'll keep getting better at it.

    Now, to the thread topic thing. What was your first actual job, where you were working for an employer and not doing things such as chores, and did you like your first job?

    Boy am I an unfunny ass.

    My first job was as an umpire for coach-pitch and teeball, from March-May 2004. I didn't really enjoy it much, because I couldn't handle the criticism, but the pay was great.

    I got my first job during my junior year of high school at Disneyland. I did a lot of different things on different days but I mostly was a cashier and food server in the resturants down at the intersection of Adventure Land, Frontier Land, and New Orleans Square.

    I've not had a first job yet, I'll be getting my first job when I'm 18 this year. Mainly 'cause I can't be arsed at the moment.. I mean I don't need one yet. But I will definitely get one when I turn 18. Unless doing a paperound from when you're 12 'til 15 counts.. =/

    My first job was at wal-mart when I was 16. I was a stockman. It sucked.

    My first job is my current job. >_> I'm a waitress in my family's restaurant. But I only work Saturdays anyway. xP However, I work there as manager so I'm stuck there for a whole day; I'm talking from 10:30am to about 9pm depending on customers.. --;

    People usually ask me where the manager is because they only see girls under 20 working, and I'm like; 'I'm the manager ._.;; There a problem? o_o'

    But yes, enough about me.. *coughs* >_>

    My very first job was as a telemarketer! I only lasted a month and I despised going to work. The pay was decent (for a high schooler) but they made me work 4 hours a night every night after school. That was just too much.

    My first job was a communications cabling installer. I kid you not. It is also the job which I have the most experience in, as now I am a telecommunications installer.

    The difference as far as actual measurable and visible changes is that I now can terminate cable at the closet, and theoretically (because I haven't done it in a long long long time) install/connect fiber optics cables :p

    When I first started all I did was punch down voice/data cables at the drop site. 10$ an hour.
