[quote=Anonymous]First job at 15: hockey referee for 5-7 year olds. Very stressful, would get screamed at by parents. Pretty good intro to the realities of the world.

2nd job at 16: worked at a restaurant in Disneyland for a year. Some of my coworkers had been working there for 25+ years. They told me: "Go to college, kid. You don't want to end up here at my age. Keep studying hard." Pretty fun job, I ate a lot of fried chicken sandwiches. Most customers were pretty nice. The holidays were always fun because guests were drunk and sneaking booze into the part.

3rd job my senior year of HS: worked at a mid-size airport in my city for a private aviation repair company. I worked in the office, taking jet part orders by phone, typing out the invoices on a typewriter, and getting ready to ship out the orders. Even back then, if you need to replace the door to the microwave on your GV, it was going to cost you a minimum of $5K. I got my own high speed golf cart that I was allowed to drive across the tarmac to access the airport employee and pilots-only cafeteria (great view!).

Who lets a 17 year-old have free range of a golf cart on a busy commercial airport runway? It was insane. Also, it was pre-9/11.[/quote]
