Started mowing lawns at the age of 12. During the summer, I would mow 3 lawns a day and make about 60 bucks. The spend the rest of the day with friends in the golf course lakes pulling out golf balls and selling them - 5 for a dollar.

You must have been covering some serious real estate, what jackasses were paying a 12 year old kid $20 to mow thier lawn? Thats like a $5 to $10 job scenario <_<

At 16 I started working in a restaurant as a prep cook, peeling carrots, making salad dressings, etc. on the weekends. After being there for a couple of months, they needed help in the restaurant bussing tables. Before long I transitioned to being a busboy, making $8-10/hr instead of the $4.25 I was making in the kitchen.

Summer Job:

when i was 15, i signed up for some "put our inner city youth to work" program in Kansas City. 3,000 black kids and me showed up. They assigned me to lawn mowing. I'll never forget my first day. I jumped in the back of a city work truck with 6 mowers a weed eater and 5 black guys....I said hi guys and one of them said, shut the fock up, cracka. :thumbsup: classic times.

 

Check out this life lesson...

 

Got some poison ivy all over me. Dad woke me up the next morning and said, "How come your not going to work?" I said, "I've got poison ivy all over me." He said, Would you like an azz whippin with that poison ivy? I said no sir and went to work. To this day, i still don't miss work.

No way am I lying. You ever show up to an inner city work shop? It's full of mutha fers that no one in their right minds would hire. This was 1983. They don't make "real niggaz" like that anymore.

 

And my dad? He is old school European. Missing work was like breaking the law. If you were dead, then you could call in and say, "hey man, I ain't comin in today." Other than that...you were goin to work.

It was back when I was about 14. Your mom came up to me,

unzipped my jeans, grabbed my junk and gave me my first real JOB.

I played too many sports in highschool to work, but I got a job when I was 17 as a bagger at the supermarket.

16...McDonald's...worked there until i came to college in August. Was a full time manager mainly on midnights over the summer, was about the most gawd-awful summer of my life. Yeah that's right, the summer between high school and college, which is supposed to be the best summer of your life, was my worst. Luckily, i accumulated enough money that i didn't need a job in college. Still, it looks like next semester i may be forced to work at McDonald's again since it is the closest place of employment anyways, and Walmart actually isn't really hiring, which is very hard to believe. Yeah, it is pathetic, i am hoping to get a job at Walmart, making 9 bucks an hour will be awesome for me.

13...8th grade.

I worked at a small TV repair shop. BAsically I would watch the store while the owner went out on service calls. I would take $$ if anyone came in to pick up their set.

Was such a great job. I would get to sit there and watch TV all afternoon. I usually worked like 4-6 3 days a week then 1-6 on Sundays. I think the pay was like $16 for the week.

I didn't care....loved the job.
