At what age did you start working to earn money?...

I started working by the age of 19. Someone called me and want me to apply in a network marketing company, since the offer and the way they said was really tempting - I joined it immediately. However, it was really a horrible experience that I quit, not even reaching my ROI...

I started my first job at 16 yrs of age. I was heading into my senior yr of highschool. It was also in a fastfood chain, and it was a horrible experience. But for some reason I stuck with it for 10 months. I guess I just didn't want my dad to think I couldn't handle holding a job.

I guess my first job was working for my dad (stamping brochures and sales flyers prior to boat shows and cleaning boats), although I got a paper route at age 12....it was okay, I guess. I then moved on to working as a phone operator (at age 15) for a phone service--I lasted two weeks before I quit! and then my first 'official' job--selling shoes for Kinney Shoes, a chain store in the mall. I loved it! I got a friend a job with me and although he tried to knock me out, I tended to be the 'sales person of the month' more often than not! That job lasted me from August 1988 through June 1989 and then I worked there again in 1989 to 1990 for a while. They're closed now, but I really liked working there in the mall (sock throwing!) Here's a webpage about the company: http://lt1957.pochta.ru/kinney.htm.

My first job was at 14. My father was in the Air Force and we were stationed in England. During the summer months, I worked as a secretary on base. It was a really good way to get experience for when I came back to the United States and started working.

Hello aseretdd, I never work after I finished my secondary school at the age of 17. I started my working experience after graduating from the university and that was like 12 years ago when I was 24. I worked at a bank though I graduated in Life Science. The longest company I have worked for is my present company which is my fourth job.

i was 11 years old and i started babysitting. i was very mature and very responsible so word spread fast and i had a real good thing going until i was 15 when i got my first real job. i paid for all my own clothes, shoes, make-up and albums and things like that. i never asked my parents for spending money. they did not have it to give to me anyway. i paid for my own car, gas and insurance and never asked for anything. self made. that's me. i always worked outside the home until 3 years ago.

I reckon my first paying job was when I was 11 years old and babysitting neighborhood kids. I did this until I turned 17, when I started a home based business - (though I still babysat ) and then my first "real job" I was 18.

I had a paper route when I was twelve. I was downsized out of that position when the paper signed a contract with the post office for delivery by mail. At fourteen I went to work in a fudge shop (and paid for everything I ate...in more ways than one), at fifteen I went to work for McDonald's and the list goes on.

i was proably about 15 and worked in a hairdressing salon for about a year and then a few of our neighbours owned some of the local shops so i use to work in the news agency,the local deli and also the local record shop.i also babysat for these people so they new i was trustworthy.i suppose i have been working ever since

Hi, aseretdd, you are more early to start work than me. i started my first job when i graduated from a college.in recent days, good job is hard to find as a new .my first job was last for one month. and my second job was last for one year which i work as an operator in an hotel.now my current job is my third job which is last for over three years.

I've started working at the age of 17 after my high school year at a hypermarket selling apparels. It was just to gain some experience and get to know more about a hypermarket operations..As I was always a consumer so I would like to try serving others to see and learn what others react and so.. Was a short term job though, as I have to join college after that..

I started working when I was 14 years old. That was summer, I am paid by making silk screens. After that, I worked again at the age of 19

i started my first job when i graduated from university at the age of 22.i think it was a little late for me,i knew nothing about the society.i enter a small company just start besiness,i think i can learn a lot flowing the company grow up,but the boss didn't know how hard to push the market at that time.we had daydream ervry days.we just sold out one of our product and didn't make any profit from that during the company esisted.it was a nightmare for me to remenber.three years has pass,and i become more mature,i know not every one can do the business well,no matter how big ambition you hold in you heart.

I was 15 years old,I went to work for a greengrocer,it was freezing working in the shop...heavy work too..but we used to have a good giggle!! The pay was poor..that was in 1970 and I was paid £5 per week.

I started when I was 17, I have to work to support my financial needs as a student. We were I'd say, in our "darkest times" during those days and I have to pull some strings out to hang on to college. I also worked on food chains, that's where I got my first paycheck. It's really not that big, but it helped me some way as I try not to think of how much I got from it but to help me at that moment..

I started my first job at the age of seventeen years. I guessed I was pretty young and inexperienced. Although it was a menial job and lowly paid, it was my first time at earning money. Even though I did not enjoy the job, it did gave me my first experience about the working life. Now having worked for more than thirty years, I just wish I could start it all over again.

Hello! I got my first job when I was 19, a few months after I graduated from technical college. It was only a temporary job but it got me started off on the right foot anyway. I was working at the courthouse in a town about 20 minutes from where I was living. It lasted for about four or five months then I got a more permanent job. Great discussion!! SheliaLee

Yes I did that sort of work too, in addition to going to school, but I loved it! The work was hard and the pay little, but I gave it my all and every penny went into a big glass jar that started out with a few coins but grew enough to pay for my tuition and books and a place to live. I worked in food service my last two years of high school and my first two years of college. In the summertime I worked as a typist by day and in food service at night. I liked the food service work better, but being a typist paid more, so after I got fast enough and could afford nicer clothes, a necessity for the higher paying typist positions, then I had to do office work to get through the rest of my university studies.

I started working at 15 babysitting- my parents didn't give me much money so I always worked for what I had- then I got used to the fact working sucks but the money doesn't. Even a little money is better than none, I have always done what I needed too to get by. I like working now that I'm older but then again I'm back in school so I quit working.

I started working at he age of twenty four to earn money.i was working as a hardware and network engineer.i used to get very less salary for the job.they also put a lot of pressure on my.now i have become sick.now i am concentrating on my studies.
