Pulling weeds in the heat of summer at my step grandmothers plant nursery in central FL. I was 13 and got $3 an hour, and let's just say I am not a fan of yard work to this day!

Doing general office work at my junior college (did typing, filing, answering the phones, helping incoming students) at the place I found the job--the Job Placement office! This was back in 1979 and I was earning $2.96 an hour, which, to me, was a LOT of money!

Baskin Robbins!! Yum! I got to take home a pint of ice cream every night. My mother loved it and I would take her the wierdest stuff - she never knew what she was getting - it was like Christmas.

Babysitting and yard mowing. My first "paycheck" job was waiting tables at a soda fountain in a drug store.

KFC/TacoBell, loved the 2 in 1!
And I loved it when I was 16!
Cashier & buffet & I don't see many KFC's with buffets anymore. Why is this?!
