What was your first paying job?

Happy B-Day late. At 17, I had just graduated high school and it was a full-time, 8-hour job. I had to go downtown and train for the job (1 day there), then start the next morning. I was there 18 months, then the company closed up.

Other than things like mowing lawns and babysitting....I was a counselor at a boy's summer camp during the summers when I was 17 and 18. It was in the Adirondack Mountains of New York, and I was one of the hiking counselors. To this day, I love hiking and camping in the woods.

I babysat, too, and had been since I was 11. My sister had two little ones ( 5 and 2). My next door neighbor had two toddlers. Most of the neighbors had small children, so that was good for pocket money.

@ShaythePanTransMan Lucky you! 😆

@latinbutterfly Yeah, I miss that damn job. My boss just suddenly left on family emergency and still hasn’t come back :/

@SW-User Yes I'm from Toronto.

@ImKelsey Whoa, nice!

@SW-User The latter sounds interesting...

@latinbutterfly it was fun....

@MartinTheFirst That's kind of how first jobs go.
