At the ripe old age of 14, I got a job with some friends at a drug store in the mall at their little cafe. It was right ON the mall, and open, so anyone walking by could see me. I had to wear one of those hair nets because I had all.the.hair which had been carefully coiffed with orange juice cans and huge bobby pins all night, so it would be fabulous for school. It was a new mall and pretty much the only game in town, so EVERYONE came every day, and we got all the looks and snickers. Turns out no one in our little group thought to ask what the job paid, and when we got our first check, mine was less than 6.00. Something about all the tips we were supposed to be getting. WTF. Messing up my auburn locks with hairnets for 9 days straight slaving over greasy steam was NOT worth 6.00, so I thanked them and left. What was your first job?
