Started at 16 as a host for a major restaurant chain. Moved to a local bar and became a bartender once 18. I still do that part time for the fun but I now also earn money from Web Design, Marketing & Flipping which is my main source of income.
All I can say is 'wow'.. very young people here making a living or supporting themselves being independent. Very cool indeed! I remembered my young days w/ you guys
I started working when I was 16 years old. I was shopkeeper. I wanted to get a car & Iphone , so needed the money !!! ~
i had my first job when i was 15 years old. My mom had forced me into working for the City of Burbank thru a program that enabled teens to start working before the legall age. Unfourtunatly it was hard maunal labor; hiking hills clearing brush and cutting branches. basically making everything nice and tidy and more beautiful. i thank my mom all the time for forcing me into it becuase of that job it opened so many other job opportunites for me as well as joing a ROP Retail Marketing class in highschool.
wow! there's an iPhone already that time?? This are the jobs I'm looking for when I'm on that age. Push for your own future age 25?? serious?? you meant, you never worked until you turn 25?
I started working when I was 15 in a fast food place. Worst job ever.. Now I am a Sr Programmer in the financial sector
i was starting job when i was in 8th standard as an english and math tutor.that was good enough for me.
I think every kid old enough to understand the concept of work should do something like deliver newspapers, shovel snow, cut grass, etc. and learn the concept of responsibility and the value of making their own money. I did all of these things before I was 10 years old and I worked my first job in a public place making an hourly wage when I was 12 years old. I worked two shifts a day and six days a week for five months in an Italian restaurant as a busboy/waiter while two women/employees were out having babies. I was never late and never missed a day either.
I started working at age 21 in the hospital as a Nurse. Now I'm taking a different path of learning- in the world of IT.
I was 12. My father owned a mini market. The traffic was very high because it was a nieghborhood store. So there was people in and out almost every minute. It was a fun market to work at and most vendors let me count the beer as they read them off the invoice.
