After finishing our study, we all go to find a job. I got a job after 1 week of finding and after 1 month i could get my first salary. It was not much but I was very happy with it and I invited some closed friends coming to my house for cooking and eating together to celebrate my first salary. It was so nice!!!
And you, what did you do with your first salary when go to work?

Earning your first paycheck is something that we all look forward to. When I got my first check I went on shopping spree and bought myself a good outfit and gifts for all my loved ones. I also treated myself to a wonderful meal. I know people who give their first pay check to their parents or even to the church in gratitude.

I earned my fist salary working for the college I was studying in. It was not much but it helped me out a lot. I don't remember what I spent it on probably hanging out and living the college lifestyle. I did learn a lot about working on my first job. It was a good experience that I will never forget and it helps me fill my resume.

Something is better than nothing. Congratulations on your first job! And who knows, if you excel at what you do, you would probably get a promotion and therefore make more money, too. . Celebrating with friends sounds like a good time too right now. I am going to celebrate Easter with my family this weekend. There will be lots of food & champagne to celebrate another successful year! I have never been paid SALARY, but I was 16 when I had my very first job. My paychecks weren't all that great though, as I was working only 2-3 days per week (my paychecks would have like 25 hours on them). I am still looking to get my degree though so I can get a better job & a REAL salary!

It is very nice when you could have your paycheck when you was 16. I grow up in countryside, so that i could earn money when i was 21 only. I don't live together with my parents, so that i often spend my time with friends only...^^
Wow, lots of food & champagne, I like parties,:) ...I am sure that you and your family will have very good time in Easter celebration.

Fresh graduates are the most abused employees, they are tasked to do more work than usual and paid less. But in the long run, our work experience will help us get the job we so wanted and a higher pay. When I got my first pay, I immediately went shopping. This trend of spending my salary on clothes and shoes went on for a year. I understand you were quite excited when you received it. You have such a good heart, sharing your blessings with your friends. Don't forget to set aside money for rainy days :)

The first salary of my whole life is the best, because when i first started working i was 18 years old, which i am still living and my parents are still supporting my daily life. Why i call it the best is because i get to feel when i go out with some friend to a shopping complex and want to eat, buy, to watch movies, i can just go and do it myself. When i was in school, of course my mother would give me some allowance, but i would check my wallet to see if i can actually spend it or save it for tomorrow. Well, i think i have to start saving after this when i am living by myself.

Yes, the first salary is the best. I had the same feeling like you when i got the first salary. At that time i thought i could support my living myself and don't ask any support from my parents. It seems like a little bit proud of myself at that time...:). I never forget that feeling and the happy time with my friends when we celebrated it.
