What Was Your First Job Ever?

But why would emperors drink from lead cups? I'm sure all their dishes and cutlery were probably solid gold or silver.
Which begs the question, WHAT DID THE EMPERORS EAT?

Well, one nutter, the Emperor Heliogabalus, once served 600 ostrich heads at a banquet. (Guess he didn't like buffalo wings.) while Cleopatra liked camels' heels and dor-mice sprinkled with honey and poppy seed. (Yeah, MICE, like in vermin with tails.)

My first job was at a pastry shoppe when I was 15. The owners were German, unfortunatly I took Spanish in school. Didn't understand what they were saying to me half the time,but it was a good job and I got paid $6.00 and hour. That was the first time I ever met a mortician too. He came in to order a casket cake, he was a strange little fellow...he went to shake my hand after placing the order, but I just couldn't bring myself to shake his hand back, even after he told me his hands were cleaner than a surgeon's. Atleast he had a good enough sense of humor not to be offended.

Pigsnie, I would have loved to have had your first job though...all the things I could have read and seen.

My first job was as being a bus boy in a restaurant. Because this position involved receiving tips, I think I was paid something like $1.35 an hour. :rolleyes

My first job after college was being a manager at a Burger King. Believe it or not, that job paid more money than most of my classmates' entry level position.

Since then, I have worked as (not necessarily in this order): :cool:
1. Financial Advisor (with all the licenses, etc.)
2. Customer Service Call Center Rep, then manager.
3. Drug Abuse Counselor.
4. Executive Assistant (i.e. high-level secretary)
5. Human Resources Specialist
6. Human Resources Generalist
7. Marketing Associate in the International Division of one
of the largest publishers in the world.
9. Bartender :D
10. Waiter
11. Telemarketer
12. Corporate Trainer
13. Pharmacist Assistant
14. Personal Trainer (certified)

Right now, I am still with the publishing company. They hired me because of the diversity of my background ... little do they realize my background is "diverse" because I don't know what I want to do when I grow up. After all, I am only 40 -- what's the rush?

What was your major in college--- you got into every kind of job!!!! Wow!

Holding the dogs leash while Pigsnie went into a drugstore to buy dirty magazines. He gave me 25 cents because I was only 7. I think he didnt pay me enough and he wouldnt even let me see any pictures.

Mark...I didn't know you were capable of being so dirty.

My worst job was cleaning stalls in a porno shop. *shudder*

The worst job I ever had involved cleaning grease traps on stoves in a restaurant... NASTY! To this day I still can't smell grease without throwing up.

As for my first job, I was a racker in my dad's factor. Basically I stood there all day and picked up mirror mounts (the part of your rearview mirror that mounts on the glass) and placed them on racks to be painted... Was not very stimulating.

This is a great thread, why did it die?

My first job ever was cleaning up behind you folks that thought leaving your empty candy wrappers and popcorn tubs on the floor of the theater was OK. They called me an usher, but I was really a janitor that used a hand-held carpet cleaner to clean the floors of the theater. I LOVED IT! That was about 20 years ago!

I worked at UPS had to quit because of school. it was a nice job

My first job where I got a paycheck was at my parents' restaurant. I was a cashier during the slow times (I was 12) and I had to stand on an overturned milk crate to see the cash register keys.

My first non-family job was waitressing at a chicken dinner restaraunt. I grew up in Barberton, Ohio.... (Chicken Dinner Capitol of the World!) and that's what most girls my age did as a first job.
