[quote=Anonymous]First job I got money for -- tons of babysitting in my early teens.

First job with a pay stub -- when I was 16, office page for a U.S. senator (I did exciting tasks like carry things around to other offices and work the AutoPen.)

In college I worked in the dining hall washing dishes and serving food before I got a job shelving books in the library.

First full-time job out of college -- receptionist at an environmental non-profit.

I feel like everyone should spend some time waiting tables or answering phones or working retail, so you've done it and you know what it's like.

I won't forget the time I was working behind the dessert display freshman year and saw a good friend come through the food line. He was 2-3 feet away from me on the other side of the (clear) sneeze guard, and I said his name two or three times. He heard his name and looked all around trying to figure out where it was coming from -- and never saw me.

Likewise, I won't forget the (otherwise friendly) coworker who got me to change the fax paper (back when it came in those thermal rolls) because, he said, "I went to law school so I don't have to do things like that."

I hope to raise my kids to feel, as I do, that if a job is worth doing, it's worth me doing it.[/quote]
