At 15, I worked for a little fast food place near my high school.

I've been craving those burritos all day.

First job was at a little hole in the wall fast food place called Bowinkles. They made the best tacos and milk shakes.

At 15 I worked as a cashier and at the concession stand at the local pool/ice rink. Eventually I moved up to lifeguard, swim lesson instructor and supervisor. Spent 6 years there.

Lifeguard.

Good: Sometimes saving people, looking at women in bikinis, and getting a great tan.

Bad: Babysitting the neighborhood brats whose mothers wanted them out of the house.

Fast food place in WA called "Red Steer." We called it "Dead Steer."

At 16 I was a convenience store clerk. All in all it was a super low stress and overall an enjoyable job. Well, it paid really poorly, but its not exactly a job with an expectation to make even over $10 an hour.

The only job that was lower stress was when I worked as a cook/bar back at a bar in town. We could drink at work and got steep discounts on booze.

Cut lawns for a few neighbors at $1.50-$2 each when I was 14-15-16, back in the wild & woolly late 60's.

Grading calculus homework papers for the math department at my school. Did that for a couple of years. Wasn't thrilling but paid pretty well and I could set my own hours.

About a month later I started coaching kids gymnastics. Kept that job until I moved 6 years later. Was pretty cool to see the kids I started with when they were 4-6 years old grow up. They're all in middle school/high school/college now. Still chat with a few of them on Facebook.

My first job was actually a summer job right after my first year of college. Assistant in a printing shop, summer of '87. Kind of boring. There was hardly anything to do but collate, cut and punch paper. I even got caught napping on the job.

At 9, I got paid to clean the bathrooms at my dad's auto repair shop twice a week. At 11, I had a job washing dishes at a local steak house.

It shouldn't be at all surprising that my two least favorite things to do now are clean bathrooms and wash dishes.

I started babysitting at 11.

Then at 15 I briefly worked at a hotel in a national park. I was send down to the bowels of the hotel to the laundry room. I did all the laundry for the hotel; sheets, towels, everything. I was the only one down there. Not only that, but I was forced to wear the maid uniform of a hideous dress. I was only there for two weeks. I thought the three hundred dollar check I got was a million dollars. I made that stretch the rest of the summer.

Then at 16 I started at a go-kart track and was there for three years. I liked that much better.

I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am.

Standard stuff: Yardwork, pet stitting, babysitting, covered a friends paper route.

Worked for my Mom's company doing filing and shipping.

First "real" job was Hardees as a cashier at 16.

I started babysitting at 11, and had my first real job at 15 at a convenience store. I worked with some really fun people, so it wasn't so bad!

My first real job (one with a real paycheck) was picking daffodils when I was 16. That was followed by the really yucky job of cleaning shrimp. Thanks for the reminder

Why is it that we start off life with simple minded jobs and end life with simple minded jobs? (i.e Wal-mart greeter)
