Started workin summers for our local housing authority, cuttin grass at elderly highrises, basic maintenance. Think I made $180 every 2 weeks, 80 hours! 🙂 Then at 15 I started after school (and durin the summer)l at a nursing home in the kitchen 🙂
 
First job was repairing computers when I was 16, but it was just for alittle side money.

First 'real' job was at a tire warehouse right after I turned 18, delivering and stacking tires. Then I worked at a garage, changing tires and doing brake jobs. Got tired of it (even though the exercise was great) and quit. Right after turning 19 I got a job as a MIS Tech.. but I'd like to be a programmer or well.. not doing support.
 
tough to recall... I've had at least 20 part time jobs (was saving up for a new car in HS). Worked 7 days/week among 3 jobs at one point. I drive around town now (and it's not a small town) and comment how I used to work there... and there... and oh look... there too.

Mostly data entry... that's where the easy cash was. And I got to listen to my walkman/cd.
 
i was a newspaper boy but my parents helped me out too much, so i dont consider that my first job.

my first job was at a ice cream store in princeton, nj (halo pub). i made 7.. something an hour. pretty good for my first job.
