Part-time work in a library when I was 16, after volunteering at a different library over the summer.  First full-time job is the one I have now!

I guess the next question in this thread should be "what was the first job that you liked?"

Art director for a small press publishing house.  :)

The pay was shite, though. I couldn't live off it. It was a small company just starting up.

Fair enough. I didn't particularly like my first jobs but I liked the money.

Yeah, money probably had something to do with that, because I didn't actually need to work and the money wasn't tied to any responsibilities.  :apondering:

Sometimes security is sufficient to highly affect people to enjoy what they do. Once had a job didn't like even though the work was enjoyable enough, but the pay was crap, the boss was crap, and it wasn't something to be proud to say I do. Last position was enjoyable with adequate pay and sense of personal pride, but easily gave it up for one with more job security. Sometimes simply liking the work isn't enough to really like it. Current position is by far the most liked, but not only to liking the work.

I honestly liked all of them in their own way, minus the internship (which I wasn't paid for, but I sure did get worked like an employee).

Somewhere in all this, the memory surfaced that my first job was as a paper boy delivering newspapers to folks at 5 am.  But, this was a job I could do before I turned 16.  16 is the earliest one can work in a factory or other businesses in the states.   :GA:

What makes a paper route an exception to that rule? Actually with the right forms and approvals, the age is fifteen, but yes standard is 16 and not sure what makes a paper route any different.

This was back around 1970, so kids 12 and maybe a tad younger, if they had a bike or a parent would drive them around could do a paper route.  MAybe they changed the rule or what.  It's been 45 years since then.  I haven't seen kids delivering papers in a very long time.
