    Your first job

    I'm curious what everyone's first job was. Also, when we get our first jobs most of us are able to finally get something you've always wanted. So, what was your first job and first major item you bought from the rewards of working?

    Mine was I used to work for a guy across the street from my house. He restored cars and he also worked for Mattel and painted Hot Wheels. My first major item I bought and REALLY worked for was my American made Jackson Rhoads V with a pile of skull paint job.

    Re: Your first job

    The first job I had was as a waitress as a Ponderosa restaurant. I lasted all of about 2 weeks. I was painfully shy.

    The first thing I saved up to buy with money I earned myself was a pair of leather riding boots. I was working in a riding school at the time doing barn work and helping out with lessons.

    Re: Your first job

    "First job" or first PAYING job????? lol


    My first job was feeding calves on my grandfather's dairy, but I didn't get a paycheck.

    My first PAYING job was as a dishwasher/gofer for a local restaurant during the busy season of pheasant season. I washed dishes & potatoes, wrapping the potatoes in tinfoil for baking. After a few weeks, I bussed tables, helped the waitresses w/getting the salads and free dessert (sherbet) dishes and ran the register for a few nights.

    The money earned went towards gas for my truck, and to my mom for the family necessities.

    Re: Your first job

    I had several gardening and landscaping jobs, but the first job at an actual business was working at a lumber yard when I was 15.

    I mostly saved money to buy people stuff for Christmas, I always bought a few packs of baseball cards here and there, but my first major purchase was a cd player when I was 17, and it arrived broken so I had to fix it lol.

    Re: Your first job

    My first job was a 14 in a local family run restaurant running the dish tank. My first major purchase was a large, pinwheel crystal lidded candy dish for my grandmother. When she passed away my eldest daughter inherited it.
