Yer mom 2 Posted November 28, 2007 Started mowing lawns at the age of 12. During the summer, I would mow 3 lawns a day and make about 60 bucks.

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheBlade 3 Posted November 29, 2007 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dragan187 7 Posted November 29, 2007 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. 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dragan187 7 Posted November 29, 2007 gtfoh! you're lying on both accounts! 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.

CantTouchThis 23 Posted November 29, 2007 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
supermike80 2,190 Posted November 30, 2007 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
