I worked in a swimsuit/tuxedo store.  Stayed for 7 years lol (summer breaks etc.)  It was actually pretty fun.

I was an aide/taught gymnastics classes at a rec center from when I was like 14 through high school - it was really fun even though it was like 5 hours/week.

I worked at the Cinemark Dollar Theater and I loved it there.  I was 16 and was trying to earn some money before going to college so I was only there for 3 months but it was really fun.

Not counting babysitting, I worked at a resale shop, called JellyBean kids. I quit there since she wasn't fixing the broken computer which was used to store information, and used to check out.

At Target, when I was 16.  I was a cashier, worked customer service, Food Avenue (just to give breaks), then when I graduated high school I got promoted to cashier supervisor & worked in the cash office.

Haha, yup, outside of Baltimore. If you swam on a swim team growing up in central Maryland, you most likely bought a swimsuit from us :-)

This was me too (almost exactly)! I was a cashier at Target when I was 16. Promoted to cash supervisor (some cash office), then senior team lead on the sales floor. I worked there all through college and even met DH there.

I babysat throughout middle and high school. ?It wound up being almost every weekend and my aunt and her friends would race to see who could call me first when they all wanted to go out together.

After that I worked at camp and recreation programs before I started teaching. ?My only job that wasn't with kids was at Gap Kids.?

My first job was working the concession stand at the movies. I was terrible at up-selling, you know for a quarter more you can get a bigger size, couldn't see asking a family to spend even more for popcorn that literally cost cents to make.

Ricola

I worked at Mc Donald's on the weekends and during school breaks from 15 to 18. Before that I did some babysitting for neighbors.

Cashier at Bi-Lo (local grocery store) when I was 15. I wanted to work at a video store -- but I was too young.
