When I was about 16 I decided I needed to have some money coming in on a regular basis. I looked around trying to decide where I could work that would take into account that I was still in high school.
Before you know it I found the perfect job. I obtained a job at an ice cream place called Buxton's. It sold a kinds of ice cream and sandwiches. Before long the night and weekend serving staff was made up of mostly teenagers.
We would take the orders, serve the sandwiches, make the sundaes and milkshakes and clean up. The people who owned the shop were terrific.
It was a great job. You made money and still were able to study so you could keep those grades up.
What was your first job?

My very first actual for money job was working the snack bar at lunch time in high school. Food related also!

@AbbyGreenhill it sounds like a decent job. A lot of us seemed to work with food somewhere along the way.

My first job was a "gift wrapper" at a department store during the Christmas Season one year. It was a temporary seasonal job.
