    Default First Job?

    Outback....

    I just got a job bussin, I'm the only guy in high school there, two hostesses my age though. 4 Hour shifts usually that fly by much too fast. All the guys I work with are tight too, they all surf which gives me and whoevers on my shift something to always talk about.

    Easiest job and my managers are real sweet too. I'm pumped on making some cash and not spending a lot of my time doing something worthless hah. Good food discounts and a lot of free food as well. I'm reaping the drink benefit of getting soft drinks on the job right now.

    You?

    technically cleaning carpets at age 14. But it was not on the books. My first real job was Chik-Fil-A at 15.

    My first three jobs were working at a movie theater (first usher, then concessions), skating rink (floor, then DJ), and a music store in the mall. I think that might have been the order. Shortly afterwards I was buying a computer game at this new store and told the owner I could put together his machines (like RAM upgrades) and it was all downhill from there

    Good for you. Mine was JCPenney Sales associate in the lamps and pictures dept. It was ok. I worked with two super cute girls and one fat bitch. Ended up banging one of 'em in the freight elevator in the warehouse (story for another time) My gf's Dad was the store manager so I got away with murder. They had a strict formal dress code. Tie and everything. I used to rock the whole get up with skate shoes. Everyone hated it 'cause I'd never get in trouble for it when they were getting written up for having their name tag in the wrong place.

    Mine was working at a cabinet and spiral staircase workshop. I was basically the bitch moving lumber and doing all the physical labor but for $12 and hour and a lot of hours, I couldn't complain. The guys I worked with were cool and I wasn't ever bored and it kept me in shape so it was a win-win-win

    It was sick, it was a shame it was only for the summer. I'll be honest, I busted my ass all the time or else i'd be holding guys up and that's no good. 40 hour weeks were tough but I got payed under the table so the almost $500 was nice.

    Being bored at work blows. I'd rather have a task at hand always instead of constantly looking at the clock.

    no it was fun we would make things to do, like throw watermelon and other fruits off the roof, see how many milk crates we could stack, eat the food, and just frack shit up.

    Got a job as a laborer for a construction company on Maui. I had always worked construction with my dad so they paid me $15 an hour and 40 hour work weeks for my experience. Ended up working the whole summer and made around 6k. I just did the same thing with the same company this summer, now all the money is going to college
