first job - McDonald's

...by far not my worst job though. I've worked on the kill floor of a butcher shop, and I've cleaned up after lab animals at Sisson Hall. If you want a depressing job, try spending your day cleaning up shit and piss, surrounded by dogs, cats, and rats with AIDS, leukemia, etc. They're never in a pleasant mood.

My first job was helping my dad cut wood at the age of 10 (right around there). My brother and I were paid by cans of pop, candy, and some occasional cash. If we were real lucky we got to drive the tractor on the way home, pretty kick ass actually.

When I read the title my first thought was back to the days when I got my first BJ and hand job. I still remember looking up at the roof in the back seat while she did her job.:biggrin:

Call me a pervert, maybe it is because it is Friday?

Like most I mowed lawns and made decent money as a teen.
When I was younger I ran a trap line and made great money a few years.
The first job for "The Man" was working for Montgomery Wards when I was 16. I was the guy in back that assembled bikes, boat trailers and anything else that needed to be put together.

The best part of that job was I got to try out all the sporting goods.
One of the employees got married and I was invited to my first bachelor party that included three dancers / hookers. Now I am back to the perverted BJ part.

I never worked at a fast food restaraunt but my buddies did and I ate for free for years.

First job was as a 7th grader gathering eggs for a local farmer in his chicken coop. Got paid 2 cents per flat of eggs (30). Ended coming to about $2 an hour, though I got a raise to 3 cents a flat after a year.
Not much money, but it all went to baseball cards anyway, so i guess it doesn't matter...

...would pay me 20 bucks cash for 4 hours of work... 4 times my allowance I think.

So you made about five bucks an hour. :wink2:

But more importantly, you made $1.25 an hour for your allowance! Was this for an eight hour day? or a twenty four hour day? A five day week? or a seven day week?
At the minimum, you made fifty bucks a week ($1.25 x 40 hours). Did you get time and a half for over forty? time and a half for over eight?

My first job was at the top of the giant yellow slide at the Ohio state fair...I worked the headset and barked out instructions to riders and warned them of the dangers of the perilous burlap sack death drop...

I spent a summer delivering ice for Home City Ice in Cleveland. Luckily they thought I was better at delivering the ice chests to stores and gas stations so I spent most days doing that. I traveled everywhere from Sandusky to Western PA. Hard work but fun.

My third summer with them, I made deliveries into D.C. and all over Maryland ans Northern Virginia. Yeah, working the trucks is better than being in the cooler all day.

Well, the first thing I got paid for doing, not much of a job really, was umpiring baseball games for the 8-10 year olds. I don't remember how much they paid, but everyone wanted to work behind the plate because you made a little more than in the field. I was probably 12 years old or so. Then of course I had the McJob for a day and a half before quitting to move on to painting houses. I was 16.

I mowed lawns when I was in jr. high, but my first jobs were the same summer. I bagged groceries for Kroger, and worked for a concrete contractor-hauling tools, washing shit up, hauling buckets of concrete up stairs. I actually liked the job-the guy was really cool-but I realized that my childhood dream job-driing a concrete truck-wasn't as cool as it seemed when I was 5 years old.....

Between 12 and 15, I delivered morning papers. Got up at 5:30 a.m. in order to make 2 1/2 cents per delivery. But this was for the second paper in town, so I had to ride my bike about 5 miles every day to deliver just 40-45 papers. An hour and a half on good weather days for a little over a buck.

At 15, Sandy's Hamburgers for $1.25/hour. When I got a nickel raise it was a big deal.
