Not sure if this subject has been covered before or not, if so I did not find it in the search I did.

My first job was delivering newspapers at age 14 (back in the 60's). What was yours..?

First job was delivering newspapers, then I washed dishes at a country club. Just before joining the USAF, I pumped gas (at 28¢/gallon...sigh

)

Waiting tables at Village Inn, 27 years ago, and still in the business in one form or another. Terrible thing, food service, once it gets in your blood it is hard to do anything else.

worked at a newspaper in the summer as a receptionist/proofreader, then my next job was as a sales clerk at JCPenney's.

I was the Public Address Announcer for my high school, i did every football game, basketball game and morning announcements (every day when school started at 7:30am) along with special events and such for 3 1/2 years.. made $6.40 an hour too!

My second job? Worked at a small 250 Watt High dial positioner AM Daytime radio station in a town of 1550 people.

I'm still in radio... 4 1/4 years later!

Mr. Magic Car Wash in Wichita Kansas. Worked there for 2 years during high school on the back end vacuming out cars. I was the left side vacume boy. It was at this job that I learned that the customer is always right- even when he is wrong.

I used to work in radio. I was an engineer in radio and TV for several years. Consolidation messed me around so I left it. Do you see a future there?
