This has probably been asked before but I think its interesting:
What was your first paying job?
Mine was working as a receptionist at our church. I started when I was 14 and I was paid under the table at $1.25/hr. Hey, for sitting there, answering the phone and door, doing mailings and my homework with a TV and a stocked fridge full of soda it was a pretty sweet deal! I worked there after school and on weekends all through high school.
My first "real" job in the eyes of the IRS was the summer I was 16 and I worked at a local hair salon as a shampoo girl. I got paid minimum wage (which I think was around $3 at the time) plus tips. That's when I learned just how much Uncle Sam actually took. But I learned some very valuable tips and got my hair cut for free lol.
So, how about you?
