I was actually 13 ... (drum roll please) I was babysitting ) No, the job wasn't hard to land because of course it started with family members. It was fun but could be tiresome especially when you have a 2 or 3 year old that demanded attention and didn't want to go to sleep at bedtime.

Exactly 18, I got my first job on my 18th birthday. I had to work that day too!
I was 16, I think. It was an after school job in a factory on an assembly line. I last a couple of weeks then quit....it was boring and I knew I couldn't keep up with my school work.
