I cleaned dentists offices... nope not fun.
I did it for about a year and then started babysitting for the dentist instead.
Paid better, more hours and much cleaner!

VERY first job? I'm going to say babysitting. In high school, I also worked the counter at a print shop, a video store, and a newsstand. My first job after college was working in the alumni office of a private prep school.

9 years old - washing dishes in a restaurant; separating and rolling silverware; cleaning the kitchen - was it fun - it was just like being at home - pay???? none (like I said - just like being at home)

first "real" job - food industry of course - what else???

retired now but worked wholesale and retail in the food industry, supermarkets setups, ran restaurants, delis, catered - you name it - including doing all the books (certified bookkepper and tax preparer also), profit margins, menus, training and all the yadda yadda that goes with it - no wonder I'm tired now

My first job was in a day care center. I started when I was 15 and worked there for almost 2 years. I loved it cause I liked working with kids. Not sure if I would be able to do it now since I have kids of my own and they have left me with no patience.

My first "real job" is like Mama's, a dishwasher at a restaurant, and then I was promoted to the salad bar. Washing the dishes wasn't all that bad, and we a good time at it. The manager always gave each of us a full meal at the end of the day, and it was a nice restaurant.
