Hey Y'all. After applying everywhere and anywhere I could, I finally got myself a job. My first interview too, I got real lucky with this one. I'm working for Wal-Mart, and after finishing up all the paperwork and computer stuff, I worked my first day on the sales floor today. I can't feel my legs, I'm tired as all hell, I've got a headache. But I love it. Someone finally gave my inexperienced ass an opportunity, and I intend to work said ass off. All of my coworkers are really cool, and the job seems pretty easy, aside from manual labor. I'm so glad to finally be working.
So, what about you guys? What was your first job? How did you like it?
And of course, the obligatory ending to a WF post.
Thoughts?

Working delivery for a Tex-Mex place. It was pretty much what you'd expect. Worked at a Dairy Barn soon after (drive thru convenience store kind of place)...Awful jobs.

Started at a movie theatre at 17, 2 years since then and Im still there. It sucks. I get paid like crap, work a lot harder than the other employees and get like 3 shifts a week. The only reason Im still there is because A) its a job, and everybody that leaves winds up back there because theres no work. B) I get to see free movies. C) Im friends with all the other workers.

I was a bag boy and cashier at a grocery store. It wasn't awesome but I had lots of fun there. It was a pretty good first job and better than fast food like other friends I had.

I just started my first job yesterday. Currently bagging at a supermarket chain until I'm trained for another position.
It was a hectic day, being the first of the month and all. Today's my first day off, and then I'm working late afternoon/evening into night the rest of the week.

I worked as a Theatre Tech for about 3 years starting my Sophmore year of High School. 10 bucks an hour to hang a few lights, not blow up the soundboard, and yell at people for knocking over my mics.

I worked as a cashier in Eckerd Pharmacy at 16 for about a year, sucked being 16, I had to get somebody else every time somebody wanted a pack of cigarettes; you can imagine how pissed a customer gets when the cashier can't ring them up ASAP.

I'm still at my first job, which was at a grocery store. Started out working cash at 16, then moved around a lot, doing the service desk, grocery, pushing carts, changing prices, bakery, inventory check stuff and receiving. I do four of those jobs in a week now. Been there 5 years and it keeps it fresh by changing around and doing other things. Plus I've reached the top pay rate there so I don't really want to leave.

My first job was a paper route. I was 9. I inherited the job from my brother. I had to have 72 newspapers delivered by 5PM Monday through Friday, then by 7AM Saturday & Sunday. At times, I hated it, especially when the weather was awful. I had it for 6 years, then I started mowing lawns for some of the people I used to deliver to.

My first job was when I was 15...I was a Masterbaiter......haha...Yea I worked at a gas station on weekend mornings and when people would get up to go fishing they would come in to get their minnows, crickets whatever and I had to dip them out. I became so good at it that I told people I was a Master at it...Thus, I called myself the Masterbaiter haha

Worked in the computer sales department at Best Buy. It was fun for the most part, but sometimes it sucked.

As a cashier, it sucked. Barely got any hours and I had 6 different managers all contradicting each other when telling me what to do. The job I have now is only my second ever but I make more in 1 month than I did in 3 as a cashier, so things worked themselves out I suppose.

My first official job was at Taco Bell at a local mall. Man, I hated that job and it was so busy but the only thing that I look forward to was to mess around with the chicks that work there.
