Riku3220 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I didn't need a job at 16 because I was in school making an effort for my future.Having a disposable income at 16 is nice though. I worked as a janitor for a few months as my first job. Monday through Friday at 5pm I'd sweep or mop the entire building for ~an hour. That was nice.

Sbrideau Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Meat Department cleanup at Atlantic Superstore (Canadian Maritimes). Probably the worst job I have had as of yet. I was 16 at the time and wanted some money, the parents weren't poor they just didn't give us money. Helped me gather a few thousand dollars for my college years since the Canadian student loans don't give enough money to last the year. At least it was only about 15-20 hours a week at that first job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champion Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I didn't need a job at 16 because I was in school making an effort for my future.Why not both? I work at Wendy's (which is my first job). Pretty much always front register + lobby. I'm not gonna lie, it kind of sucks, but it's really not all that bad. Plus, WA has the highest minimum wage in the country at over 9 dollars an hour, so that's a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto_the_Phoenix Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Computer Science tutor in college was my first job. I was also a sophomore at the time. If you want to count first jobs with benefits that could carry a family, it'd be the one I'm at now - Software Developer. Sorry to hear about your personal situation, though. You definitely do need to find work that can provide health benefits for your family.

Lord Slayas Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Depends how you classify it. First job ever: Mowing Lawns + basic landscaping First job with an official paycheck: Busboy & Dishwasher at an Irish Pub Current Job: Agent & Supervisor at a call center. Don't worry about too much about what it is when it's early on, at the moment you probably just want the $$. Later on worry about a career and what the job is and all that :P My Pure F2P Blog: CLICK ME6th Maintainer of the Pure F2P Highscores / The Top 250 F2P Skill Total Lists : May 16th, 2012 - March 30th, 2014.

I understand if you're in a place where it's illegal, but damn I've seen so many put on a lot of unnecessary hardship for a few moral standards. Anyway, my first "job" was helping my dad with dispatcher work for his owner-operating trucking company. I never had an "official" job. 1 "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevepole Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 My first job was driving a green pea combine during the summer months between my sophomore and junior year of high school for a company owned by my family. It's kind of like a rite of passage that all the men in my family have done at one point of their life. In all honesty it was a pretty fun job, and the pay checks weren't bad either since we were racking up 60+ a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginger_Warrior Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 My first paid job was working as a care assistant. As far as first jobs go, it was honestly very satisfying work which inspired me to go to university and train as a nurse. It wasn't well paid, though; barely above minimum wage. Re: The pregnancy. I think abortion is an option your girlfriend should be aware of, and if that's what she wanted because neither of you have the financial capacity to look after a baby, then it's a choice she should be supported in, because in my experience, it's not something any woman finds "easy" and definitely not something a woman feels "nice" about. I wouldn't necessarily advise it though: it's her choice, and if she didn't want to have one, then we should all respect that. I shouldn't need to lecture you on safe sex either, if the pregnancy was unwanted/unexpected, should I? ;) There's more than enough services out there. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sees_all1 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 My first job was as a caddy at Crooked Stick golf course, working during the summers.My first full time position was as an Electrical Engineer co-op student at Technicolor, which lasted for 5 semesters. Somehow, I don't think that will help you with your current situation. My advice to you is to straighten up, apologize to your parents and your girlfriend's parents, get back in school and graduate.

Estonian dude Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I worked as a helper in a dairy farm in summer. It was in Norway though.Now, 9 years later I have worked there for 8 summers and am planning to go there next year aswell. Get 2.5 average Estonian paychecks there. Quite easy job aswell.But if you are 16 and with such a situation, I have no freaking idea about what you are going to do with your life. You must have done something really bad to get kicked out of school and your own home... So I've noticed this thread's regulars all follow similar trends. RPG is constantly dealing with psycho exes.Muggi reminds us of the joys of polygamy.Saq is totally oblivious to how much chicks dig him.I strike out every other week.Kalphite wages a war against the friend zone.Randox pretty much stays rational.Etc, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he's screwed up, got no opportunities... only thing he's good for is front line infantry right? I think that attitude died about a dozen years ago, at least. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginger_Warrior Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 (edited) That post was actually in counter to a previous post which went half way to recommending abortion, something I'd never tell someone unless it was medically necessary for them to do so. I think for people to make good choices, they should be well informed of all options available and the consequences of those options, in an impartial manner. I don't "promote" abortion (although I do promote women's rights). I promote a person's right to be knowledgeable about the decisions he or she may face. In any case, it's not actually his decision. It's his girlfriend's. Edited October 3, 2012 by Ginger_Warrior | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasignhagj Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 First job was a paper route that I did for 10 months in grade 6. First real job was washing dishes and busing. Quit that in February because the hours were awful. I haven't started looking for a new job yet, although I probably should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
