I start my first job tomorrow. I am going to be doing constructiona and am lucky as hell to get this. I think I'll be making around 10-15 bucks an hour. So what were your guy's first jobs and how old were you? Im 15 now.

I worked on construction sites with my Dad a bit surverying when I was like 14 or so, and got paid a LOT of money compared to what I get now. My first actual job was working at a Italian Restraunt near my school, got paid like $8.50 and hated the people there. I think I was 17, but I only lasted there for 4 months before I had enough.

i do doubt $15 an hour but construction pays alot. $10 is more than i ever considered when i was looking for a job. i mean, i was planning on $8 per hour at a ice cream place.

i was 16 and I was a bus boy. I made $5.50/hr + shitty tips. What a pathedic job that was. I'm glad I stopped showing up.

The best job I've had was working as a bell boy/shuttle driver/ski storage guy at a hotel in breck. met so many cool people and made plenty of money. super relaxed job and everyone i worked with was cool. worked that 19-21 and left to goto school. I will always appreciate that job though, so many cool people in hotels.

First Job was selling vacuum cleaners. 500 dollars a sale. Problem was you had to convince some poor bastard to spend 3 G's on a fucking vacuum.

My first job was when I was 14, I worked at a corn maze. It was a pretty chill job, and this will be my third year doing it (it happens in the fall). Basically, I get to hang out in the maze, and help people around and make sure people dont do stupid shit.
