Your first job

[Beli]

what was your first job? what did you do there? would you like to go back to it now? did it pay well?

my first job was working on a horse ranch. i cleaned stalls, probably about 30 every day. i saddled and rode probably 15 horses. we were on a working cattle ranch so i also got to chase cows around at some point during the day. was one of my favorite jobs ever! especially when the babies were born each spring.
nope i didn't get paid any money at all. i got to learn a lot from some of the top people in the horse world though. i was about 15.

never had a job, never will have one

My first and only job was a Christmas temp in Toys R Us... I was one of the computer people that sold computers, games and helped people with computer related stuff.

I'd love to go back and do it if all the Xmas temps were there. We got some laugh because we knew it wasn't a permanent job so messed around a lot. Such as "Steven go collect the trolleys" so I'd just do a staff announcement and get someone to come with me. 30 minutes later we'd come in with 8 trolleys in total :D or hide in boxes and get people to carry the box pretending it was games or whatever. This works best when standing beside a burd because the person wouldn't want to seem weak and just struggle badly along with it. Or, pick the dumbest burd in the shop and send her to look for tartan paint or a long weight (wait)... etc etc... I doubt a real permanent job will be like this though. :cry:

The pay was crap because I was 17 when I first started... only £3.88 an hour ($7.63) but it went up to £5.38 ($10.58) when I turned 18 which wasn't too bad.

I'm supposed to be getting recruited temporarily for the PS3 launch so I'm hoping a few other temp's will be back.

I had a Saturday job when I was about 13. I was the dogsbody at the local deli - a bit of shelf-stacking, sweeping up, waste disposal etc...

My first full-time job was as a librarian for a cable TV R&D company.
I was the only staff member in the library, but nobody ever checked out any books... So after I took care of my admin work (which took about an hour a day), I would hide in the office of a worker who was away on leave, and play games on their computer for the rest of the day :)

my first job was at a deli/grocery store, i did pretty much everything deli counter, cash, stock, general maintenance, training, yada yada...

my favourite job sofar was working at a restauraunt. it was a little ma and pa shop, so it was really interpersonal. we used to fuck with the dishwasher so bad, like sending him to the hardware store to buy items like 'potato enlargers' or 'carrot stretchers' lol that dummy.

my first job was building inlets(something like man holes). I had to carry bricks in each hand while walking on a 2 x 6 board over a inlet(range from 2-12ft deep). The first thing you learn is if one of those bricks fall in they come out faster than they fell in.(the guys in the inlet would throw the bricks that fell at you). i also had to mix cement up and carry in 5 gallon pails across the boards aswell. After we were finished with the structure of the inlet we would throw the rest of the bricks and cement into the bottom of the inlet and we would have to smooth it out and put a lid on the top. The worst part of the job was being down in the bottom of the inlet with the temp. at 100+ and you had no wind with the sun beating down on you.

The pay sucked ass and i wouldnt want to do that job again.

i was 13 when farmer tom put a machete in my hand and said:

see that beanfield down yonder? now, see them there patches of milk-thistle in said beanfield? ok then, take that there corn-knife and start hacking the life out of them weeds, but, for every beanplant that so much as has a knick in it from that blade, it is $1 per out of yer earnings!

needless to say, i's a bean-walkin' mo-fo!

strawberry picking when I was 14. It lasted only two days, I ate most of my berries so the employer found that the polish strawberrypickers were better for business.

But my first paying job was as a farm worker picking Boysenberries. Man we thought we would be in the loot but FUCK ME that job was hard..We started picking at like 4AM and you had to fill this HUGE box to get paid. 2 weeks of doing that and I made $40.

well i guess i could claim that too. i grew up on a walnut ranch and we picked them by hand. my brothers and i got 10 cents for every bucket we filled. huge buckets btw. and we were honest about how many. the bad thing is the walnuts stained your hands for about a week after. so everyone at school would laugh at us :$

[DnD]

i suppose my first job could technically be with my parents business aswell lol. My parents used to have a construction business putting up pre-fab sunrooms, i was the tool-passer and window washer. My first legal job was the one i posted before though.
