I was 14, and worked at an amusement park as a food cart attendant. Worked in excess of 60-70 hours a week some days in the blistering heat. I think its the best thing that parents can do to a child by encouraging them to go out and work. Not until my first job did I realize the paradox of how hard money is to earn, yet how easy it is to spend.

I made bread, man, lots of bread. Seriously, I really made bread! 60 loaves per minute. Summer job when in high school. What seems like a million years ago.
My first permanent job, I butchered rats (and almost any other kind of animal you can think of) in a medical research lab.
I still dreams of going to Hell and seeing rats gnawing through a wall of bread to get to me.

I worked at the Church. Is that a real job? I was between 8 to 10 years old.
I then worked a paper route. Is that a real job?
At 14 or 15, I was a camp counselor for a summer camp. Is that a real job?
At 16 or 17 I worked retail. I know that's a real job (didn't pay like one).

So my question is what is a real job? Is it a job you go in on a regular basis and get paid or is it one that you get raped by taxes?

Relax. I didn't mean to offend anyone in any way. No flames intended. To be more clear, what I really meant was your first real job in your adolescense or teenage years that you got paid for and was significant to you...just a fun thread for everyone to reminisce
