What was your very first job?
I worked in a dentist’s office. After school, I spent a few hours organizing paperwork and filing. I got a [small] paycheck and free toothbrushes.
p.s. — My first job after college was working in my dad’s office. I did it for a summer and then I bailed. I *hated* it. He was a physician and I had to deal with *shudder* people. All. Day. Long. It was among my worst nightmares.
[Thanks to my dear friend Marquessa for this 31 questions challenge.]

My first job was working the snack booth, serving beer and hot dogs at the ninth hole of a golf course. I was thirteen and the men were so gross and sexist that I had to quit!

My first job was working for my dad – organizing files for tax season. From ages 12-15. Got $25 an hour and he always had me do it before Christmas so I’d have some spending money haha.
But “real job” was a waitress at a run down fish and chips place. Paid in cash, no records, boss hit on me (15 years old, he apparently thought I was 18….), quit and went back for a reference a month later and he was shut down for fraud.

Oh my… The waitress job sounds like terrible experience. At least in the boring dentist office, I was treated with respect even though I was just a kid.

It was ok! I didnt know my rights as a worker yet of course and felt uncomfortable around him all the time. But some of the regulars were lovely!
