What was your first job?

[Lord Raven]

My first job was as a teaching assistant for physics my sophomore year of high school (I was 18-19 years old)

[Ragnell]

Technically my first job was submitting biweekly payroll for my dad's hair salon early in high school. The first real job I had, though, was rolling dough and delivering pizzas for a local pizzeria in high school.

I started working as a dishwasher at my father's restaurant when I was 11 years old; this was before even the very idea of child labour laws blocking that (in Connecticut, there was actually a movement to ban parents from having their children working until they were legal to, under the idea that they should be in school. That got shot down, quickly). I actually left his employ at 15 to work as a janitor for the summer - full-time - at my old middle school. Throughout my youth, I also held jobs at K-Mart (at some point, as an Eatery cook; this was when they had actual eateries, and not just Pizza Hut kiosks), as a dishwasher/caterer at a deli, and finally, as a rink hand/referee for a small inline hockey rink. This was before I joined the service at 19.
