I think it was like $5 an hour.
Highlights:
- worked with older, horny women ( all in their 30's ). Women are 10x worse then men talking about sex.
- went out with them every friday ( the older women ), got free alcohol.
- got cheap ass prices at Walmart by having Walmart call Target and my friend pick up the call and telling them our prices for something were cheaper then they actually were.
- worked outside all summer in the garden hut doing nothing and getting a tan, got carts in the winter and would "vanish" for an hour at a time with no supervision
McDonalds for me too, but I was only at $4.50/hour.
- Stealing food
- Seeing friends come through drive-thru, and getting them to pick up a bottle of whiskey for us, and drop it off through drive-thru
- McChicken sauce fights!
- Elastic band fights!
- Going to work high, scared the 16 year old shift manager is going to notice, so you hammer out buns and meat patties like there's no tomorrow.

Managed to land a Government internship at $24/hr. Was for some project they wanted done which they've since filed away in a cabinet and never looked at once I left. Finished my entire 6 months of work in the first 3 weeks and spent the remaining months taking 2 hour lunches and pretending to look busy. Gave me a really skewed perception on what work was. Took me three jobs and a college degree to find something that paid as well or better after that one.
Typing captchas in a tin hut with barely working tabletop fans running, 18 niggas in a 100 square foot area, no shirts on, drinking mango juice on lunch break.
problem?
problem?
I did a paper round when I was 13 -> 16.. Earned ~£2 an hour :/
Then after I finished school I did some web development work at a start-up for £10/hr to get some good team dev experience.
That's it.

Oh, sorry. The people I worked with weren't niggas, but some of them were really black, but mostly brown.
My very first job was at a mix between a wal-mart and a dollar store.
First day I was there boss gave me a bottle of spray 9 and a paint scraper, told me to scrape the grime off from under the shelves. After doing this throughout the morning he asked me to go pick up a coffee for him at a local gas station. His 20 minute request was minutes before my lunch, and I was told to start again at the same time.
I came in next morning and he had the spray 9 and scraper ready for me, told me to keep going as I was yesterday. I said no thanks, I got a job at the gas store when I picked up your coffee yesterday. He said loudly, "fucking ____, they take all our employees!!".
Coming in for 15 minutes to see him rage in person, worth it.

$4.25/hr at 14 years old making onion rings in the basement of a Drive-In.
Not frying them... but actually making them from 50 pound bags of raw onions. I had to cut the tips off, peel, slice, push the rings out, then put them through a 3 step battering process a few at a time by hand. It was a terrible job.
Highlights:
-Free A&W Root Beer?

Knocking door-to-door to sell a long distance service for a very sketchy company. (They had to be sketchy to let 15-16 year olds work for them lol)
Got paid $15 per filled application. No base salary. Struggled like a motherfucker all summer working 9am to 9pm and on the best days I would get 4-5 filled apps. ($60-$75 cash which was massive money for a 16 year old back in the early nineties lol)
Highlights:
- At least once a day I would get the door slammed in my face and told to get the fuck out.
- Someone welcomed me with a raging pitbull and said they'll let him attack me if I didn't GTFO in the next 30 seconds. I never ran so fast in my life.
- Old people and F.O.B immigrants were the nicest. Would always let me in their homes and get me a drink. They wouldn't fill out the damn app though lol

At 12 years old I had a milk round which got me £18/week.
Fresh from School I started an apprenticeship to become a dental technician. This was full time 40hrs week. Pay £325/month. I did for 2 years until I received the NVQ.
I left on £600/month at age 18.
I did quite enjoy it, but I did always know that I was never going to be working for someone else for too long.

My first "job/business" was when I was 10 years old. I was living with my dad in San Jose, Costa Rica when I was 9 to 11 years old. Every day I would walk through the plaza on my way home from school, and always walk by this jewelry shop where they made things like bracelets and necklaces out of beads/etc. Well, one day I had like $5 in my pocket so I went in and asked him how many beads I could get for that amount. I believe he gave me 4 bags which was enough for like 12 necklaces. Anyways, I went and bought some fishing line for like $1 and started to make these necklaces.
I was charging like $2/each but was making 4-5x my $6 investment every time (minus my time). But considering my dad didn't allow us to watch TV, or play video games, or really any games of sorts.. this was 'fun' for me. My dad owned a small B&B in Costa Rica at the time so I would lay them out for display when guests would come around. I think some people just felt bad for the 10 year old making necklaces so he could buy candy, and then I think some just respected the hustle or even liked the things. Who knows.
Oh, and I'd slang them to the old lady on the corner who had a small candy shop. Lol, I'd have her trade for candy
Highlights:
-Made monies to buy candy
-Made monies to buy toys
-Made monies to go to the arcade!!
-Learned a valuable early lesson in life.

Dairy Queen - Lasted about three months.
Highlights:
- Sex noises over the drive thru Mic
- Knee Slides through the kitchen
- Free Ice Cream
- Manager telling me I was a POS blizzard maker and GTFO
A month after I was fired I came back when my old manager was working the front, with saved up money from mowing lawns and ordered 250 small cones. I stood there as he made every single one. It was awesome. I was 17. Justice was mine.

The very first job was shoveling a tone of dirt. Made about $50 that day. But i worked all kinds of jobs, digging ditches, sold christmas trees, moving services, putting electronic measurers of heating in peoples homes, cleaning services, was a janitor in a big ass hotel, was a dishwasher, roomservice (dont laugh), assistant in a home improvement shop, home remodeling services... And a ton of other stuff i cant remember now. This was all before i was 21. I never looked back after i discovered internet marketing
Dock boy at a marina. The best shitty job was always delivering pizza. I hate serving tables and delivering was always a good shift, dinner rush you'd make some money for a few hours and go home with some pizza and weed I bought from the manager.
The owner was a driver then manager at dominos, no college, borrowed against his house to buy his first papa johns and had half a dozen paid off after 7 years. It's like printing ten dollar bills, and every welfare payday was always busy, football games, etc drunk people tip great.
