Im now looking for my first job and i was wondering what were you guys' and girls' first job? and what was the pay like?
just asking so i can get a little insight of where to start

 

walmart... woohoo

 

what was pay like

 

Kentucky Fried Chicken...

 

administrative assistant at a law firm

 

Bagger at a grocery store my freshman year of high school for $6.25 an hour.

By senior year I was up to $10 an hour while my friends worked at McDonalds for 6.15 an hour. Suckers.

 

Walmart started me out at 6.75 an hour, i left a year later for Disney... Then Universal, currently still at Universal but I work in the magic shop inside Universal..

 

general laborer for Mobil...working the pipeline right-of-ways. i don't remember pay, it was too long ago ;)

 

I started working at the public library in my hometown when I was 15. I put books away, 6mos later, they promoted me to periodicals (magazines and newspapers) shortly after that, they moved me to the front desk. Now I'm full time there with full benefits and an office. I maintain a million dollar sorting system and a bunch of other stuff...

So yea... I've been at the same place for 8 years. They keep promoting me, so I'm not complaining.

 

First Job was working at Publix (grocery store) making 6.50 a hour...now i work for Color Wheel Paints making 9.60 an hour

 

Wal-Mart. I was a stockman, basically a glorified title of someone who is managements puppet. Cleaning bathrooms, gathering carts, lifting heavy stuff for old people, and craming power wheel trucks in Yugo's. Good times. I made whopping $4.05 per hour. They treated us like crap to say the least.

 

I worked a Industrial Design Company (We worked on the Infinium Labs Phantom, the weird video game system that never came out and a bunch of other cool stuff, like Polaris Personal Watercraft), just cleaning and getting supplies.

 

I started making biscuits at McDonalds for a whopping $3.85/hr, woot!

Man, I'm old.

 

My first job was fixing model trains at a Hobby shop, it was great I spent all my money on remote controlled cars . Now I spend it all on real cars , I was I think 5.00 an hour but that was in 95

 

I cut hams with 3 of my friedns when we were 15. We had no idea what we weere doing . It was alot of fun. They owner payed us $7/hr. cash we were happy

 

I started at Burger King when I was 16. Not too bad 6.50 an hour. Actually, now that I think about it, it really sucked. Join the AF!

 

Pizza Hut, almost 15 years ago and made WA minimum wage - $4.25

 

I was lucky enough to get a job working in some minor-construction stuff. I laid down telephone cable underground in my neighborhood; the pay was (under the table) $10/hour, and about 10 hours a day ($100 flat / day).

Best job I ever had.

 

dude, I was there last month and probably saw you without even knowing.

my first job was at the local car wash being a "wiper" I dried the cars when they came out of the tunnel. $10/hour plus tips because it was during the winter months and they couldn't keep employees during the winter. I used to skip school to work overtime, it was fun.

 

Here's where the age factor comes in..

1 Raking almonds during the harvest season. $2.00/hr.

2 First full time job was in charge of warehouse/delivery for a small paper company. I delivered toilet paper and butcher paper to offices & remote butcher shops. $4.00/hr.

3 14 years as a technician in the injection molding plastics field.

4 Now I'm a sales rep for a gourmet food company calling on grocery stores.

I miss the "look what I made" factor when I was in plastics. But manufacturing is not the place to be in America anymore.
