What was your first Job?

for me - i was a chrismas temp at a garden centre.

 

professional musician (trumpet.) I made $2 playing in a band at a Christmas fair at a church hall. I believe that I was 12-13ish and it was the first money that I was paid professionally. Slowly. it turned into a pretty good schedule of playing weddings, parties, military funerals, etc.

 

Are you still playing from time to time?

 

First job was digitalpoint freelance SEO content writing when I was a youngster! To say I love this place would be an understatement!

 

Thanks for asking. Unfortunately, I stopped playing trumpet many decades ago. I did try to pick it up again a few years ago while giving my son trumpet lessons in the hopes that he would follow my footsteps, but he did not like playing the instrument, so that only lasted a few months. Playing the trumpet requires that you build up the muscles of your face/lips/cheeks (your embouchure) for many months before you can play at a reasonable level, and I have not been at the professional level since my 20's. I keep saying that when things slow down, I would like to get back into it, but that time never seems to come.

 

My first job was uh... I believe at a tanning place as an backup assistant (emergency assistant) but only lasted about a year then I called it a quit due to being constant insulted by the owner along with some threats here and there.

 

My first job was a carpenter at the age of 13. here in the states you can not work construction until 18 but as i knew people that owned construction companies i was able to do some work under the table after school and on the weekends. At the age of 18 i was classified as a journeyman carpenter and made as much as the guys that had started at 18 and had done it for years. There was quite a few people that didnt like me for it as i knew as much as them when everyone my age was just an apprentice.

I continued that trade until 4 years ago when i got into a motor accident that ended my career. I done construction for about 32 years and when i am old enough to retire i will have two pension in the trades from the carpenters and painters unions.

 

My first "job" was as an assistant at a local electronics company, I fucked up pretty much every task and I'm pretty sure the owner still hates me.

 

Hey Helge, you should sign up for their affiliate program . I'm sure they won't hate you after you're on that for a month

 

Electronics company as in an electrician company (going out to people's houses and wiring up fuseboxes and stuff).

 

My first job was at a grocery store. It was not a glamorous or fun job at all, and the pay was not good, but it taught me about basic economics and how to save as much money as possible.
