    Working for the Dade Couty Youth Fair at the Lemonade stand at 13. Made $3.15/hour. Biked 5 miles each way and after a week, I was so tired biking that I biked to work and quit when I got there. Plus, all the carnies kinda creeped me out. LOL

    Other than a paper route. First real job was a high school janitor when I was a junior. Great job. Got out of school at 3:35. Put stuff up in locker and went down to my janitors room until 4. Worked 4 to 8.

    paper route when I was 13.

    my worst job, however, was working in a mayonnaise factory. being around 250 gallon vats of swirling mayo makes your clothes and skin stink. when I was working there, I don't know that I ever got that smell off of my skin.

    Paper route at 12. Fist company job was 16 at my friend's parents tv/appliance store. After school I worked in the parts department and during the summers I delivered and installed refrigerators, ranges, tvs and more. They would have me run gas and water lines and drive the big box truck between stores for stock transfers. (In hindsight they probably should not have had me running gas lines with no training. ;) )

    yeah... it was gross. I was 18 and that was the summer before I went off to college. That kind of job really makes me appreciate the years of college that I went through and the office job that I have now.

    Golf course at 14. By 18 I was employed with the strip club working the pole. Tips weren’t great and lots of booing so I moved on.
