Hello guys,
After graduation, I had to leave home to look for greener living. I needed a job to survive and take care of my needs so I started applying to different organisations.
I got my first job 3 months after. I never liked it, but I had to survive. It was a sales job, we were to market some international magazines and the pay was $30 per month.
I was working, but swore to change job to another one as soon as possible. After 6 months, I got another one with $35 per month, but it was way better than my first job
So, what was your first job, how much were you paid, did you enjoy doing it?

After my exams at uni, I started as a trainee teacher at a secondary grammar school. It doesn't make sense if I tell you how much I earned. It was the year 1970 and Germany still had the Deutsche Mark, a currency which doesn't exist anymore. Now we have Euro.

When I was a jr in high school in Hawaii, I worked at a small company stuffing patterns for Hawaiian clothing into paper envelopes. Don't remember how much I made, but the job didn't last long!

I told plushies when I was 15 and I made like 10 bucks per plushie and made like 200 bucks in a year. Which is pretty decent for a 15 year old haha My first actual job was K-mart and I worked for 2 weeks with 7.80 per hour.

My very first job was when I was 14. I was in an orphanage, and would be sent to foster carers for school holidays. One of my foster carers ran a bakery, and let me work there during the holiday to earn a little money. My first job after I left school was in a milk bar/cafe. I can't remember what either of them paid - it was over 50 years ago.

I think once you have a job, it is often easier to get the next one. My first job was as a governess on a sheep station.
