I worked at Maggie Moo's, which is an ice cream store in the midwest. For some of you it is like a Cold Stone, or a Marble Slab. I also worked at a daycare at the same time.

Chi-Chi's Mexican Restaurant when I was 16 was my first "real" job. I did a little of everything except waitress (I'd be a terrible waitress). Cooked, dishes, hosted, food running, etc.

The first things I got paid for were babysitting and corn detasseling. I don't tend to think of them as read jobs, though.

I worked at an apple orchard when I was 14.... and got "let go" - don't ask!

Pocky873 · March 2011

Errand b!tch at my mom's company (she used to work for a trucking company). My tasks ranged anywhere from typing forms, filing papers, delivering lunch, shrink-wrapping incoming orders, and painting garbage cans. I was 16, and it was a very crappy job.

kimann8807 · March 2011

My first job was a Hostess at Red Robin when I was 16.

TMI: It was disgusting! I have not eaten there since. I wont even get into it, because I dont want to ruin it for the people who love Red Robin.

zxsari28xz · March 2011

brookelynpaisley · March 2011

Lifeguard. It was awesome. My best friend and I joke sometimes that we should give up our business lady jobs and go back to it.

sarahdtobe · March 2011

I worked at Dunkin Donuts when I was 16. I actually stayed through my freshman year of college because the tips were good!

I was 15 and got a job at the nursing home by my house in the dietary department

bwe1100 · March 2011

"cookie artist" at Cookies By Design. It was a great job for teenage girls - we'd just sit in the back of the shop decorating cookies, listening to the radio and chatting.

MusicalMegan · March 2011

Bakery clerk at Kroger...made me depise bread an cookies, but I'm well over that now! Big Smile

I've always thought it would be fun to work at a video rental place!

My first job was at a bakery when I was 12. It was so horrible. What 12 year old wants to start at 5 am?!

I worked at the only store/restaurant in a small beach town. Everyone I worked with was my age, and it was so fun meeting people who were vacationing/camping at the beach.

tigerhearted · March 2011

Mine was at this awful little tourist trap shop. They sold all these little collectible figurines. Some of them were rather cute actually. But the job itself sucked so much lol. I worked there for 9 months, and the older lady I worked with was so territorial that she never let me check people out. All I did all day was dust and "float" ie watch for shoplifters. Sooo boring. I was 18.

cheese.fiend · March 2011

First real job (not babysitting) was Gift Wrap Girl at a Pharmacy/Florist/Gift Shop when I was 17. I can still make a mean bow out of silk ribbon.

johnson617 · March 2011

I started babysitting when I was 13ish, but aside from that I worked at McDonalds..it lasted 3 months before I quit and decide retail at JCPenney's was much better for me!

Mattel · March 2011

My first job was a cashier at Tops.

1220winterbride · March 2011

I worked as a clerk at an antique shop, it was fun and everyone was so nice. we just talked about girlie stuff all day! I loved when the owner brought in new stuff and told us the history, rarity or the value. We had to set up vignettes and visually mechandise the store. cute!

Babybear70 · March 2011

For my first real job I was a grocery bagger at the local grocery store. I eventually moved up to cashier and then customer service (glorified cashier). I left there to start my Architectural Career and haven't looked back.

Mrs.Ash · March 2011

Hallmark! I l actually loved it!

Megaloo05 · March 2011

my first offical job was a cashier at a local BBQ place, but I had been babysitting my nephew since I was 14 for my sister and she was paying me.

btaylor19 · March 2011

I was a McDonalds girl at 15.

CarolinaGirl82 · March 2011

Well, I babysat and worked in childcare from 12-16ish, but that was all under the table

My first official, report to the IRS job was as a hostess at a local pizza restaurant. The pay and tips were just decent, but the employee discount and free leftover food was the best perk!

Sullivan1416 · March 2011

Mine was a "counter person" at our local Pool, where I Would allow people in and sometime work the snackbar. started when I was 14 with working papers making $3.14/hour almost not worth it but it seemed like a lot then!
