When I was about 9 or 10 my sis and I worked at our neighbor's strawberry farm. This was in the late 60's. We got paid next to nothing for cutting the berries and blossoms off the 1st year plants. Thi sjob started right after school got out for the year. We also did weeding. This was at the time one of the largest pick your own farm in the state of Wisconsin.
That lasted (working at the farm just other duties) until we graduated from high school.
We then were summer help as maids at the local Holiday Inn.
My sis and had different jobs after that!!

I know other women who waitressed at CCs and said the same thing about the men... and how they felt it was ok the come-on to them!

My first job was baby-sitting. I did telemarketing briefly. Hated it. My first job in my profession was as a go-fer for a local TV station. I went on to be a broadcast journalist.

First job: door-to-door surveys in the heat of summer, right after high school. Lasted three weeks, all but passed out on a man's doorstep in a bad part of town, quit.

Second job: playing piano and organ in a music store at the mall to attract shoppers. Lasted five days, couldn't bring myself to play "My Way" for the hundredth time, quit. (I still hate that song!)

Afterschool, I was a baby sitter every weekday for 3 years and

I was also paid for doing the family dishes.

I grew up on a dairy farm so as soon as I was big enough I helped with chores. Yup that's right not old enough, but big enough. I started helping when I was VERY young, like 4 or 5. I fed the calves and little stuff like that. I also got to show some of the cows/heifers that we had-- I even had my picture taken by the newspaper when I was about 4 holding 1 of my mom's friend's calves. My first job off of our farm was another dairy farm

The one i'm in now, a receptionist

Besides babysitting, my first job was a waitress at Ponderosa. I don't remember particularly enjoying it, but I did enjoy having my own money!

 

[sadie'smom]

My first job was at a dog kennel, best one I ever had!!!! loved the cattery as well....

I delivered flyers on my bike. I think I made something like 0.87 cents per flyer. Oh yeah, I was rolling in the pennies.
