My first job was at Burger King as a cashier/drive thru person.
In college, I worked for the office of students with disabilities and that was my all time favorite job.

I had my first job at 12 on a farm helping make hay and then later milking cows I also delivered the Grit newspaper on a rural route of over 15 miles once a week then later when I worked summers I butchered kosher chickens it was very hard bloody work and I learned for awhile not to eat much chicken. Still when I went to college I worked at McDonalds it was a much better job than the summer job

My first job I wasn't really paid for. I grew up in a gas station with my dad working there. He could not afford child care so his boss allowed him to bring me as long as I stayed out of trouble.
Since I was a good kid, it was never a problem.
But that is why I say it was my first job because I helped my dad.
Back then, they still had full service. And while my dad was checking oil and washing windshields, I was filling the car with gas.
It was a great learning experience. And I wouldn't have changed a thing!

I knew from an early age that I wanted to be a nurse. I would tear arms off my dolls and make holes in my stuffed animals so that I could 'nurse' them with my homemade bandages! The day I turned 14, which was the yougest one could work, I got a job at the local hospital taking dinner trays to the patient's rooms. I loved doing that, because it got me into the hospital and I could watch the nurses and talk to the patients! I felt so big and important. Hindsight, I bet my parents hated driving me each day at 4 pm and coming back to get me at 7 pm. Nowadays, children that young cannot work in the hospital and I find that to be a shame.

My very first job was with our local minor league baseball team. I was an Usher. It was SO much fun! To this day it is one of the best jobs I have ever held. We were security/janitors/cheerleaders all rolled into one.

I worked at achildren's camp. It was the perfect first job..we did everything from riding a garbage truck to teaching to administration. It didn't pay much, but we got a reference for every job you can think of!

I'm actually planning on dropping off resumes to get a job. I just finished highschool so it will be easier. The only other job I've had was doing paiting with my father and learning the trade. I got really good pay for it so that was another plus, apart from learning the trade.

My first job was working in a store in the mall that sold rocks and minerals; like geodes, and agate bookends, and lots of necklaces. I only had it for a month over christmas break and I was completely bored with it by then, so I was glad to go back to school. Although I did learn to identify lots of rocks and minerals, since there was nothing else to do and they never even trained me on registar since I was to be there only a short time.
