I had babysitting gigs like everyone but my first paying job was as a Hockey Timekeeper (penalty box and timing.)

I did that for 3 years eventually becoming a ref which I did for 5 years.

It was fun, reffing was more fun


My first actual paycheque (not a paycheck 'cuz I got it in Canada) was from the TTC (Toronto Transit Commission... the bus company). I drove an armoured truck (also a Canadian truck).

Lots of fun, summer job for 1 summer.

Other jobs: summer camp leader, Chinese food delivery, mail room clerk, telephone installer, waiter, dishwasher, telephone repairman, bricklayer, systems administrator, power and grounding analyst, service engineer, program manager, engineering executive, technology architect, industry specialist (consultant), startup guy (you do everything in a startup).

 

I'm still looking for my first paying gig.

 

First paying job: mowing lawns

First legit job: busboy at a "fancy" restaurant (fancy by small town standards, they had steak!). Worked there about 3 months. Working every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night got old in a hurry.

After that: lackey at Target, drafting intern, engineering intern, custodian (dorms), LISP programmer, designer, suspension testing, tech writing.

 

Not counting working at the family business, first real paying job was working at UC7 Cinemas. I was the head projectionist (actually helped install the projectors & sound equipment).
Work schedule was Tues-Fri nights from about 5PM to midnight-but actually only worked about 15-20mins every 90mins or so when I had to rethread the movies.

Easiest money ever.

Thursday nights when the new movies would come out, we'd run them after midnight *cough* cash only to get in *cough* , and we'd allow beer etc to be brought in. That's where I learned the proper Coke to Capt ratio. 1:1.
