First job that I earned money and paid tax etc I was a sales assistant in a music store that sold sheet music, musical instruments and cds etc. I worked there for about a year.

My first job prior to that was babysitting

Started baling hay for farmers when I was 13. Very hard, but gratifying, work.
easterniowegin · 51-55, M
@Funtoy4u Yep, straw was so much lighter. Lol, i made the mistake of not wearing long pants the first time. Lesson learned!!

Definitely a big workout. And i make double the minimum wage at the time. Those farmers paid well for good help! But worked you hard.
Funtoy4u · 61-69, M
@easterniowegin They also fed you lunch
easterniowegin · 51-55, M
@Funtoy4u yes, always a big lunch and a "coffee time" break in middle of the afternoon with sandwiches and cookies.
But spending any time in a 100F barn will wear you out, fast!

@calicuz Eh, the life guard thing was like twice a week at a YMCA. And I blew all the cash on car parts and weed.

@DarkHeaven

Did you ride horses?
@calicuz Yeah. We had several. I had my own that died when I was in college. My Dad sold the rest of them when he retired. They are pretty expensive to maintain and he’s gotten older. I definitely miss riding our horses, though. 🦋

Window service at a sandwich stand. Awful!!
silentwriter180 · 51-55, F
Just dawned on me, I did have a paying job when I was very young. I lived on a farm, and we had several mango trees. I'd come home from school and pick up the mangoes for our livestock that had fallen onto the ground. Grandpa paid me 25 cents a bucket. I was so proud. 😂
