I touched trouser snakes, but never gor paid for it...

After I stopped working in the family meat business (which I basically did for free from 6-14); Thrifty Drug Store, Togos, Round Table Pizza and Tower Records (in that order). Tower Records became full-time and I haven't had a part time since.

ahhh, it wasn't just the kids

It was

Kids

the parents

lying coworkers who also didn't understand the concept of taking a bath and using deodorant (I'm not lying about this one)

disgustingly low pay (they paid you the MINIMUM of minimum wage)

the working hours (how am I part time when I'm working 5-6 days a week and working 10 hours?)

You live in the Bay Area so you've probably been to Six Flags in Vallejo. You see how the ride operators look tired and irritate? They're being overworked

i worked recesses and lunch times in the school canteen in high school, got paid 80cents per day lol!

(i also did the morning breakfast program, and got my breakfast free)

first proper job, casual at k-mart...pretty much worked full time hrs from the start, went full time 6 mths later

Yeah, I had friends who walked beans. I never did that, though. I did do roguing, which I enjoyed a) because you got to carry a spade and chop down big stalks of corn; and b) "roguing" is just a cool name for a job.

Showbiz Pizza now Chuck E. Cheese

Minimum wage was 2.65 in 1980...

Efan said:

Detasselling corn at 14. It was hellish, but I'd never seen so much money. I was making $3.50 an hour.

Me too! I feel like I made a little more than that, but yeah, it sucked! I remember the inside of my forearms having cuts and scratches all over them from the corn leaves, I would have dreams about pulling off the tassels. My parents thought I would quit immediately, but there was this real prissy girl a grade ahead of me who did it and I was like, "If R---- can do it, I can do it." I completed the whole summer (and got a bonus for perfect attendance), and promptly enrolled in lifeguard training. I worked as a lifeguard during the summers all through high school and year round throughout college. That was the best job ever.

I don't count walking beans as a part time job because I didn't get paid for that. It was a mandatory family activity at my house!

I used to do my brothers paper route for him cuz he never fuckin did it.

At 14 me n a friend got a job at a greenhouse picking tomatoes. Got fired after a week or two for having tomatoe fights.

At 15 worked part time at the local newspaper in the mailroom. I think minimum wage was like 4.75 an hr.

that is stuff i used to do... and it was fun... and i miss doing shit like that!!!!

when i worked in the bra shop i used to give them 2 sizes down and watch them squeeze into the bras... i'd say you have gained weight... look how tight it is!!!

Yep i was only there for a short time

As part of the New Orleans summer job program, I was doing lawn maintenence.

I was 14......worked at the local SPCA.....totally awful shitty job. I dont want to depress anyone so i wont go into detail.

I worked in a cave, literally, for a data storage company.

Worked at Shoprite when I was about 16..Hated it

Newspaper solicitor at the age of 14. A college guy drove a group of us kids to remote areas of our state. He'd drop us off and we'd go knocking door to door trying to get people to subscribe to the local newspaper. Our team was the worst, but our manager (the college guy) would let us drive his car and after failing miserably everynight with the subscriptions, he'd take us our for pizza or burgers. It was lot's of fun...until they fired us all for weak sales.
