Delivery boy for some company. I used a bike to transport their small packages around the city. Never before or since did I inhale so much car exhaust fumes.

"Appointment-Setting", i.e. telemarketing. I made appointments for guys who sold maths tutor programs. Excuse me for a moment. I need to give myself a medal."You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James NapierComment

My first job was counting vehicles and passengers, or stopping vehicles, asking the drivers where they come from and where they go to, etc. It was for an agency that helped planning infrastructure, of course.
Some jobs were really scary, like staying at night on the side of a highway bridge, which was rather narrow (i.e., no service lane). And my boss failed to inform the police - guess who came across checking whether I was suicidal). But we got well paid!"The world is too small in Vorarlberg".

Hm, the first job I had (and this means an activity I was paid for) was probably the job I currently have, a software specialist in a bank.

BTW, we're colleagues (kind of) since I also work with software at a bank. I'm a generalist though, not a specialist.Comment

All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.Comment

No, it is common, but they usually try to pick a job that is at least a bit related to the degree they're pursuing, so McD is usually staffed with future philologists and art historians, i.e. people with useless degrees.

First real job was keeping the Soviets out of western europe. Nothing so grand after that and since the people of western europe couldn't be arsed to even attempt to do it for themselves it was something of a waste of my valuable time. ...which was unfortunately not considered so valueable by others.
