What was your first job?

[Nikolai]

I'm working the same place I did with my first job. Or, in one way I am. I'm working for a
/me gets his dictionary up...
temporary staff recruitment agency.
I've been working for them mostly in the postal services. Been doing so for soon two years now.

[Krill]

Well, for me I'm dropping chemistry the moment I get the degree, so there is little point in me getting a "summer job" in that field, whereas care work pays really well and I enjoy it enough to consider doing it for half a year if I take a gap year.

Newspapers definitely counts. Mowing lawns could count if you did it consistently. I delivered newspapers 7 days a week for 6 years, rain or shine. And had to go collect money from everyone too. That definitely counts.

The first job I got was a head job.

Only about 3 years IIRC with the newspapers. Then in high school, I worked the back room in a retail store (stockboy, basically).

I thought it was Poundstretcher on Orpington High Street

Runner, isn't that a code word for selling your own ass?

I worked in my parents bakery from the age of 13 until I started at the paper mill and then the refrigerator factory after school.

[VetLegion]

Here virtually all bakeries are held by Albanians. It's their traditional niche.

Are you an Albanian?

[Zoid]

Not that I know of. I'm part norwegian on my mothers side, but I don't think that has any bearing on the baking...

Not counting the work I did on the farm where I lived, my first job was at a newspaper. Local once a week publication variety. Helped the photographer sometimes when he went to take pictures. Helped put the paper together and stuffed those damned inserts in

I worked as a summer tutor when I was 16.

[DaShi]

I worked at an Olive Garden. I even got to deliver food to Reba McEntire once. It's been all downhill from there.
