What was your first job and how much did you make? Any highlights?

First Mcdonald's, so many horny mexican chicks work there, its beyond crazy,


from there, Burger King, Banged the shift manager there in the telephone room, she was asian and always horny, she banged other's too.
 


First "job" i was 11 or 12 and I'd go around the apartment complex taking out trash for .25 per bag.

That money was promptly spent playing Street Fighter 2. One day a customer gave me an old collection of porno mags and changed my life forever.


First "real job" was a telemarketing place across the street from my highschool. We'd (friends and me) get high and pretend to be state troopers collecting donations for the association. Its been downhill from there.....
 
Back when I was 12-13 years old I was a tennis sparring partner for the local folks at the park. Was getting paid $15 per hour, in cash so that was pretty decent. Usually worked 4-6 hours a week. Kept doing this even after I started doing well in AM just because my clients loved me and it was fun to catch up on things. I did end up raising the rate to $25/hr and only one or two hours per week. Stopped when I was 14.

The only perk was pissing off the actual coach at the park because I was making him look bad. He would charge $65/hour, but would put in 4x less effort than I did in the hour. Several of his clients turned to me because they really got a bang for their buck. The coach got so angry that at one point he forced me to pay him $5 for every hour that I charge otherwise he will report me to the park commission. I paid him for the first few months but then said fuck it and stopped paying him. From that point on he would badger my clients and tell them that what I am doing is illegal, this and that; he was trying to scare them. Either way, he did get the park commission to stop several of my "lessons", and threatened to revoke my tennis permit. (meaning I cannot play in any public park). I ended up having to take my business to a different park where there was no coach.

Back then:

This shit is exactly why I'll never live in a big city again. Fucking sick ass cess pool of regulations and nonsense.. fees, fines.. everyone just hates eachother and you have to pay for the privilege of shitty service.
 
I worked like a slave for $7/hr for an ISP from the time I was 15 until I was 19. I treated it like an apprenticeship. Best thing I ever did.
 
When I was about 13 I drove with my Dad to Des Moine where he was running a sale to liquidate a piano store. I was there to help move shit around and dust, I thought it was going to suck. But that was the first time I got to watch him sell.

Highlights:

-Seeing why my Dad was the guy they called in from out of state to close customers at these sales. I still love any chance I get to watch him sell (this was like 17 years ago). He's always been a top closer, and his customers all love him. He's great at persuading people without being scummy, he's a master at building rapport.

-On the ride home after the 3-day weekend, he asked me to guess what he made. I guessed a few grand or something. He showed me a check for over $30k and said "that's how easy it is".

-Eating lunch on the way back, at a Pizza Hut buffet in BFE. He said "do you know why it's easy to make money? Look around. That's your competition."

I've had a lot of shittier jobs since. I've always remembered that one though.
 
A combination of working at a hot dog stand for $6/hour and doing computer repair work/computer training for older people for $30/hour.

I spent a shitload of my youth working on games, 3D modelling/design, and playing with game engines. None of it was terribly productive.
 
Would buy bulk packs of Pokemon cards online and stand outside Toys R Us selling them with my older brother until the Toys R Us people would run us out.

Bought candy at Costco and carried it around Jr. High in a duffel bag and ran a candy business until the school officials heard about it from a teacher and suspended me for a week and shut that operation down.

First time I worked for someone else I was doing home remodeling for a guy that flipped houses.

Highlights:
-Hearing all the stories from my co-worker about how high he got the night before, or the fights he got into, or how they sawed off a guys tailpipe after getting cut off on the freeway and following the guy home.
-Gas station hot dogs with jalapenos for breakfast
-Realizing manual labor sucks as a full-time job and that I would do something more with my life
 
Starting salary 2200 SGD per month (contract job). After 3 months, I requested a raise, they increased 50%.

Supplied a friend with mixtapes/albums to sell on the streets. First "real" job was Staples easy tech. Job was kinda cool, but staples put too much stress on it's employees, I quit after a few months because I didn't enjoy selling "protection plans"...Currently drive a zamboni and do some computer shit too. Haven't touched IM in years :(
 
Never has a job...when I was 16 I was making money playing online poker. I was earning way more than I was expected. Now i'm self employed with this IM shit. But you never know...
