How old were you when you first got a job?

[JoeDueces]

I respect your honesty. My father went to college and joined the military.

Hr encouraged college for the life experience and made me stay on campus all 4 years

I still gained some experience, but it was all under the military's umbrella

Where'd you go to school?

When I was about 8 or 9 I started bagging groceries at the supermarket 7 days a week for toy money also you could buy throwing knives and ninja stars on canal street. At 10 I started selling fireworks making really decent money. My mom even started charging me rent. My first legit job was making copies at H&R block at 14. I'm from Harlem NY

I got my first job when I was 17 years old at a grocery store when I lived in the LBC. I was a box boy, I walked into that store at the right time. The Manager gave me an app, I filled it out and they called me the next day. That was back in 1985, I was making $4.25 an hour, lol. I was getting paid because all my friends got jobs and they were making $3.35 and hour, lol.

Did she at least save that money for you?

I think no child should be forced to pay bills especially in America
