How old were you when you got your first job? Did you like it?

When I was 15 my first job was washing dishes at some restaurant.

It was nice at the time because it was purely spending money.

I saved up to buy a used car and also spent money on BS like books, birth control, and maybe some junk food.

I was 14 when I worked as a labourer unloading Tuna boats. Used the money to help my mother pay for food and bills.

12 as an "independent contractor" mowing lawns. I enjoyed the work and liked getting paid even more. Saved some, bought stuff with the rest. First working for a company job was McDonalds at 17. Didn't really make enough to do much with it. gas money mostly. The work was ok, didn't get along with the management attitudes and didn't last too long there.

I was sixteen and washing dishes at a Holiday Inn. I spent my first check on books and gas.

I was very young indeed working with my Grandfather memories I will never ever forgot he was an old age pensioner driving around in an old "Black Van" selling fire wood for the coal fires which were about in those day (going back a bit) "Sticks and Bundles" always remember those days pity I/we can't go back in time to relive it all again.

12 (newspaper delivery route) and I haven’t stopped working since. Held two jobs from 15 to 20 and started a part time business at the same time.

19. I was a medic eat. I bought workout supplements and things for my family.

I was 16 and a musician. One weekly gig was pianist for a ballet class in the evenings. The other was as a church organist for a Southern Baptist church. I took the job on the condition that they would not try to convert me (I was Catholic).
The broke that promise, and I didn’t stay too long.

I was 17, still at school and took a summer job at a lucerne mill, quite physical and dusty work in the heat. I saved enough for a guitar amp to use with my band.

13, for education and living expenses.

I was brand influencer I got paid for it it wasn’t a lot as I had to rely on a lot of sales. So that meant I had to at least have other money else were which meant private funds such as savings. Before that I used to volunteer a lot at age 17 I looked after animals and I worked in charity shops. I was even in a band but I left as the guy was so creepy and he kept touching me without my permission that was when I was 19. I kept telling him your making me feel uncomfortable please stop but he kept saying sorry then carried on. Now I’m working from home because of the lockdown on onlyfans , after I will be back out stripping in clubs after the lockdown is over and trying to do some lingerie modelling for some extra money.

I was 14 and a caddie at a rich private golf course..
I saved and bought my first motorcycle (50cc with a restricted license at 15). I got lots of big tips from older woman (I was very experienced for my age)..

I got my first Saturday job at 15, working on a fruit and veg stall. I loved it apart from the really freezing cold days.
I spent my money on clothes and bits and bobs all teenage girls wanted.

I was 14 got a job at a donut and coffee shop. Loved it. Smell of fresh coffee every morning. Spent my money on a new pair of Dr. Martens and some books. Got fired because my boyfriend was hanging around one day. (Which was totally unfair because he was a paying customer.)

I was 15 in high school working at the local coffee chain. Hated it. Spent my money on fast food and going to the cinema xD

I was 17 I liked it

at 18 plus i started working in a resort at Panjim while I was studying in first year at college , due to financial crisis suddenly my family stop sending me money so I started that job with the help of some one i know that time to carry on my expenses

First two jobs at 12, one regular Mon - Sat delivering newspapers, the other in school holidays sorting and delivering mail in and from the local post office. Savings went towards my first motorbike.

I was 18 when I got my first job working in a quality control laboratory.Used some money for clothes and going out,some I saved up because I wanted to buy a house.

I started pumping gas when I was six.

Actually I was pumping gas before that, it just wasn't petroleum.

I was 15 I think and got a job Saturdays in a store behind the counter. Some pocket money to help my folks out as there wasn’t much money in the house

the ripe age of 19

🤔 About 12 I did an irregular paper round I got paid for.
Regular money at 16 in my first serious band. The money all went on new gear etc. Like all musicians 😂😂

Micky D’s was 1st job I think. 15. Other than shoveling snow in winter time for apartment complex.

I was 15, I didn't like it much and my money went on clothes, makeup, cigarettes and stuff.

18. I used it to pay for school...also i bought some video games

I was 16. I collected stats

16 at mcdonalds and spent it on gas and food I suppose

14 I think it was a paper route and I hated it.

I was 15 and it wasn't bad

I was 16 and worked at a bowling alley

i was 12 and had a paper round.

I think i spent my $10/week on junk food.

16 years old, hauling hay
It was fun, but hard, dirty, hot, work.

I don’t remember my exact age, but I was in college, and it was a summer job at a car dealership. I absolutely hated every minute of it. I sucked at it too. The only reason I got the job was out of pity, as a favor to my mom. The owner of the dealership is friends with her and gave me the job.

21 years old... not at all..

I was 14 and I saved the money 🙂

16-17, yeah

I was 18 (so just last year) and I got a job at the student union doing random tasks ("assistant" to student government specifically but I do other things). I liked it. Menial work mostly, but I liked the people I worked with and it wasn't too demanding. Was intending to continue this year until all this pandemic crap happened.

13 at a family friends garage, cleaning tools and General shop floor bitch duties.

Saved most my pennies but used some of it to build a gaming computer. Eventually my first car by 16 and then collage afterwards. Been working mostly ever since.

I was in college I had no choice.

I was sixteen. Worked as a glass collector. It was horrid. I was the only glass collector there from 8pm-5am. Picking up glasses from over 600+ people, stacking them, slapping them in a steam washer, took them out, dried them and then stacked the shelves.

The second a table had more than 2 glasses, my boss gave me shit. Like I had time.

I haven't got a proper job yet, I'm a student.

16 & it was amazing to do something I loved & make money myself.
