What age were you when you got your first job?

I had work experience this year (which isn't really a job but I did get paid for it so I may as well talk about it). First week was working in a solicitor's office (or with a lawyer for all of you on the western side of the world). Second week was stock broking. The law was boring at times but there were situations I was put in (I'm not legally allowed to disclose what went on) where I could literally feel my pulse beating. It was going that fast. Stock broking was just hilarious. My last day was when the Japanese tsunami hit and everyone instructed me to 'take advantage of the Yen.'

My first job was being a cashier in a theme park. I'm actually still doing it, I think it's perfect for a first job.

My first job was a secretary at a nearby middle school. It was perfect during my senior year because I get out of school at 12 every day, and I work till 5 PM. Somehow I wish I was still in that werkplace, because my co-workers and my boss were so nice to me. But I had to leave after I graduated because of college.

I always like to call myself 'perpetually unemployed until next year', but I suppose my first job was my paper route when I was 14. However, the only reason I took the position was to convince my parents I was mature enough to watch satellite TV; when we got the satellite TV six months later, I quit pretty much straight away. Model employee, me!

I've haven't had proper a job yet, I'm still in school but I suppose I could get a part-time job but with my guitar and online distracting me and with me just being lazy about finding a job makes it hard. Finding jobs though is hard at the moment for anyone.

The closest I've had to a job was work experience in school. I was working in a furniture and carpet store so I was working as a shop assistant and helping the owner out. It was really good and I enjoyed it and the owner was a pleasure to work under as he was very friendly. I got €80.00 for working 4 days from 10:00 to 16:00 which was good.

My first job was working with my stepdad in a pizza place he was running. I got to make food and cashier and do dishes. It was stressful for me, even though the place was never busy. I wasn't used to working and there were a lot of thing son the menu I never officially learned how to make. Also, I didn't get paid a dime. >_<

Sometimes my current job feels more like my first simply because I get paid for doing it!

Haha, similiar to me. Instead of office work though, I generally did a bit of tutoring. I did it during my second year at university and the pay was very good. I've been far too busy this year, so I dropped the work.

Don't have one yet. I'm wanting to work at Panda Express though.
I am so hungry right now. As soon as I saw Panda Express I got even hungrier. T_T

I worked at a daycare, taking care of 2-3 year olds. Very rewarding experience. Just reminds me how much I love kids!

I'm still at my first job - I've been there for two years. I work in a liquor store, and I really enjoy it. We have regular customers who are great to talk to, it's awesome.

I was the first design intern at a little sign/vehicle graphics shop for a few months when I was 18 and fresh out of high school. It was nice and I got 10 bucks an hour, but then I decided by that fall that I really needed to go to college.

Actually, now that I think about it... I did work in the school library all the way through high school... but I didn't get paid, or even get a grade for that. It just gave me elective credit... which I didn't need. lol

Hm. My first real job, which I still do now when I don't have school commitments, is working in a local music shop, selling guitars to be specific. I started just after I turned 16 and I'm not 17 yet though so it hasn't been long, lol.

However, as a sort of less official job, I've been teaching guitar to a few people since I was 13. I stopped that when I got the job at the shop, though.
