    Started at 16 as a host for a major restaurant chain. Moved to a local bar and became a bartender once 18. I still do that part time for the fun but I now also earn money from Web Design, Marketing & Flipping which is my main source of income.

    i had my first job when i was 15 years old. My mom had forced me into working for the City of Burbank thru a program that enabled teens to start working before the legall age. Unfourtunatly it was hard maunal labor; hiking hills clearing brush and cutting branches. basically making everything nice and tidy and more beautiful. i thank my mom all the time for forcing me into it becuase of that job it opened so many other job opportunites for me as well as joing a ROP Retail Marketing class in highschool.

    I think every kid old enough to understand the concept of work should do something like deliver newspapers, shovel snow, cut grass, etc. and learn the concept of responsibility and the value of making their own money.

    I did all of these things before I was 10 years old and I worked my first job in a public place making an hourly wage when I was 12 years old. I worked two shifts a day and six days a week for five months in an Italian restaurant as a busboy/waiter while two women/employees were out having babies. I was never late and never missed a day either.

    I was 12. My father owned a mini market. The traffic was very high because it was a nieghborhood store. So there was people in and out almost every minute. It was a fun market to work at and most vendors let me count the beer as they read them off the invoice.
