[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I delivered newspapers from the day I was 12 until the day I turned 15 and was old enough to get a job slinging fast food.

Delivering newspapers was  one of the hardest jobs I ever had.  No days off, papers had to be delivered rain or shine, snow or extreme heat, and the customers didn't accept any excuses when they did not get the paper.  And the pay was awful.

Fast food job was just as bad.  Hot, smelly, no respect from customers, lousy pay, rotten hours.

I'm proud of both of those jobs.  But now I'm a grown man with a professional job behind a desk.  The newspaper/fast food experience is not relevant to what I do today.

I will tell you all about it if I get drunk and nostalgic - but I don't need to put it on my resume. [/quote]

I like you!

My dad, now 78 years old, still talks about his job as a bicycle newspaper boy. he loved that job, but it was hard. It was a real character builder. Whenever we go back to his hometown, he'll drive me on his paper route, but tell me at least a few times he was on bike. (He also points out where a five and dime store was and he'd stop there for a coke in the summer.)

I worked fast food in high school. Hardest job I ever had. But I was a good cashier and I'm sure it helped me get my next job (bank teller during college).

I do believe that people are better for working either retail or fast food. You learn to deal with the public. It's a humbling experience.
