I was just reminiscing about my old (crappy) jobs and thought it would be interesting to throw the question out to other mylotters. What was your first ever job? Mine? Hostess at IHOP, almost cried after every shift, it was terrible! Hope yours was better.

My first job wasn't that great but it wasn't that bad neither. I worked as an operator - nothing too exciting about the job except on salary nights, it felt good to withdraw cash from the ATM and go out to party with my colleagues ever other week.

My first job was at Taco Bell. I worked there from when I was 16 until about the age of 20. I made a lot of friends there and made some good money and then I decided to move onto something else

Ah yeah I started at IHOP when I was 15 until 17, I mostly worked with people that were in their mid 20's so I felt pretty out of place being the youngest one there. My other jobs were with people my age so they were much better. Now I want some TB!

The first job I had was in a law firm. I had to tidy up, do the dishes and take the mail to the post office. It was a part time job while I was still at school, and it was a nice way to make some extra money. I worked in a big law firm and there were always other young people. We were able to talk etc while we were packing the mail and that was nice. I worked there for one year, after that time I had to quit because I became very busy at school and I wasn't able to work and study at the same time.

Ah were you in college then? That doesn't sound like a bad gig, in college I took the first job that I found and that was a big mistake because I could of probably found something better! Ah well.

Well my very first job was as a bar maid at a local club which was frequented mostly by erm..'older people'. Actually I met my husband there so it didn't turn out too bad I suppose.
