What was your first job...

15 - Lifeguard/Swim Instructor at a 4 1/2 foot deep indoor pool, that made you eyes tear and was hotter than the sauna.

18 - Transport EMT (driving incredibly old smelly people with dementia around at all hours of the day and sleeping in an ambulance)

20 - Web Designer/Coder for Ramapo College (technically an internship but they paid me and gave me a scholarship and it lasted 3 1/2 years)

23 - Web Developer for a company that mass produces lawyer web sites.
 
14, Snowboard instructor.

Best job ever, in my estimation. Never made any more money than the gas it took to get there and back, but I got to ride every day of the season, get a free season pass, and party like a madman. That's why I kept at it for 5 years.

Actually, I should get back into it.
 
10 Bicycle Newspaper Delivery, great gig, got to be outside, got lots of exercise (12 mile route), made pretty darn good money at it.

15 Gas Station Attendant. Sucked.

16 Ice bagging and delivery. Great summer job, stayed cool in the heat, and made STUPID money for a 16 year old kid. Learned to drive a split axle tranny. :)
