    Default POLL: when did u get your first job?

    ren inspired me by her poll about a car, for those with a job, when did you enter the workforce. also, what did you do, and now, what do you do? list your jobs in order from first to most recent.
    When I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside childish things.

    i think i was 17 when i got my first job...or late 16...dont remember. I worked in retail....then had to quit cause i was moving for school. Got a "sorta" job at a audio/body shop for a couple months and then quit that. I havent had a "real" job since november i think. Just been doing side jobs and whatnot since then.

    15 - Got first job as bagger at Kroger because dad said if I wanted to go to Hawai'i with the band, I had to pay for 1/3 of the trip, and make my own spending money. Quit job a week before I left, because they were trying to schedule me when they couldn't (overnight, out after midnight, etc) (Jan 2000 - July 2000)

    16 - Worked at Arby's for almost a year. Good times, great HS job.. those guys rocked. (March 2001)

    17 - quit Arby's because senior year of HS was too hectic, and I was working like 4 hours a week. Wasn't really worth it. (Jan 2002)

    17 - Got job at Red Lobster as hostess after graduation. (May 2002)

    18 - Quit Red Lobster because for one, they said they would make me a server/to go person when I turned 18, and they didn't, and for two, I sold one of my cars, so I had about $4k laying around. (Nov 2002)

    18 - Ran out of cash, had new car and car payment, my friend Gavin got me a job at Ruby Tuesday (April 2003)

    19 - Quit RT after a fun year, but the drive (30 miles one way) was killing me.. Started working at Olive Garden in Athens (April 2004)

    20 - Got tired of Olive Garden bullshit, took "Leave of Absence" to work at Georgia FFA/FCCLA Summer Camp (May 2005)

    20 - Best summer of my LIFE at the camp! Never went back to Olive Garden (Sept 2005)

    21 - Worked at a local bar for a few weeks bartending, fired for forgetting to check an ID on a busy Friday night (assholes) (Nov 2005)

    21 - Chillaxed for a while, livin' off funds from parting out Acura Integra, doing oddjobs, makin it work.. good times... (Nov 2005 - Feb 2006)

    21 - Got current job at FedEx/Kinko's... it rocks my face off. (Feb 2006)

    And that brings us up to date!

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    Well, i lied about my age and started working at 13.. Worked full time and went to school. The only time i had just a part time job was when i was 17 , but i was attending school type classes at Gwinnet Tech ( Gettin GED early ) , But still helped friend with his personal company on the side. I have had many years where i have worked 2 to 3 jobs at once.. so im not even gonna try to list them all. LOl , I left 2 jobs to work where im at now.. With the hours i work now ( oN call ) its near impossible to have a second job, but at same token- pay isnt realy bad enough to have to get one
