How old were you when you had your first job
I was 14 too young
22. I was lucky that scholarships paid my way through college, to be honest. Otherwise, I probably would've have had to get my first job at 18.
I was 15, the gig was umpiring baseball games for our town's Little League on Saturdays at $10.00 a game. It sucked. I learned very quickly that little kids are evil, foul mouthed little demons and their parents were even worse. I quit after a parent threatened to "kick my ass after the game" because I'd called his kid "out" on a play at third base.
Parents and youth sports don't mix!!!
In our suburb, we never had to work till we had finished our education. My first stint as a sales rep did not click. I was 22 at that time.
Like Winterfate, In college I was under a basketball scholarship and didn't get my first job until I was 23.
13, I had a paper delivery round and was paid 3 quid a day for 2 hours work before school. Way too early to be working, should have been studying (or sleeping)!
I was 14 when I got my first job babysitting the kids next door. I was 16 when I got my first job working on a community project.

I wish I was like these other people who didn't have to work until after college. LUCKY! Unfortunately, I got my first job when I was 16.

I wonder what you would do if someone in a class you were teaching threatened with "I'll PUNCH your face in!" This has just happened to one of my colleagues. I'd be very interested in your opinions.

Where do your belieifs come from? Social, religious, political, or otherwise. I'm not trying to be inflammatory, just curious. Perhaps this is as much of a rhetorical question as anything else... but where and how did you aquire your beliefs?

Will a bank give a 90 year old man a mortgage, assuming he would otherwise be eligible?No one seems to know the answer. I know the man would be a risk to the bank, but if he meets all the necessary income requirements, could they say no? Is that age discrimination?
