first job ever? 1986 i worked at the haagen dazs store in new canaan, ct. scooping ice cream. i served david letterman once. and jimmy the greek.
 
Working for my dad. My family owns a factory that produces custom sheetmetal fabrication stuff. A lot of it for the military. When I was 15 I started working there. I did random painting, cleaning, and packaging. Once I was 16 I could go out in the shop and then I did assembly and occasionally welding and running a press brake. I spent one whole summer doing date entry when they changed sales software. I did that summers and over christmas break til I was 21.
 
I was a caddy at a nice members only country club. Worst job I've ever had. There was this old man everyone called 'Red', that would request me every time for some reason. He would always get pissed after a shot and chuck his clubs into the pond or tree's then yell at his subservient pee-on (me) to go fetch them. What an asshole
 
After I finished at MIT I wanted a summer job. Since I got dinged by Bell Labs about three times, I kinda ended up working as a chemist for a very small company in New York metal-plating plastics. It was an interesting experience to say the least.

The following summer I finally got hired by Bell Labs, but made the stupid choice to work for the army that summer instead. We basically just did some designing and engineering with mechanical computers and radar.
 
Worked at a flower plantation all summer.. rough job. Pickign and cutting flowers eight hours a day.. all day.. 40 hours a week. Needless to say it was a shitty summer.
 
McDonalds..... man i miss that job... free food for me and my friends all the time... damn i hope McDonalds corporate people arent here..

Me too. However working 30 hours a week, playing organized basketball year round and being in highschool was too much so I quit after about 3 months and relied on mom and dad 'till I graduate HS :verygood:

date entry? at 16? isnt there laws against that? ;)

:)
 
13, I was a dish-washer (operated the machine, not actual hand-washing) at an English-style restaurant for $3.55 an hour. Booya.

Long hours, very hot & very busy.
 
AMC THEATERS.

I was 16 and got caught afterhours fucking one of my co-workers on the counter top of the mens restroom. We thought we were alone but the stupid general manager forgot her beeper in her office. She opens the side theater door and hears moans echoing from the mens restroom and pops her head in and says "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE"! I was 16.
Bitch!

I forgot to say both me and the girl got fired for that.

Working for a copper oxide manufacturer. Started out picking copper scrap for environmental reasons. Then I graduated to the plant. It was dirty (sometimes I'd walk out looking like pavement) and the ammonia fumes were enough to knock someone on their ass. You know what household ammonia smells like? Well that's like around 2%, up to around 20% for paint thinner. This place had over a dozen different tanks that held ~5,000 gallons of it each, but the percentage ammonia was in the high 90's- enough to leech copper and liquidize it. When they opened one of those you'd better be wearing a respirator. I walked too close downwind to a tank more than once and it was like hitting a brick wall-biggest head rush, eyes instantly start watering, automatically turn and walk the other way. If you had a stuffy head it was taken care of immediately. Driving a payloader all day while younger kids did all the work shoveling was a cool perk there though and running errands gave me some fresh air, lol. The best part about working there was lunch though. Dirtiest fuckin mouths ever; if a female could sit through a half hour there she'd have to be a bulldike in disguise.
Overall a good experience, and probably had something to do with me finishing school. :lmao:
 
first job, I was 14, dishwasher, bus boy, pretty much the kitchen bitch. did what ever had to be done. Of course there were other people, mostly friends, so it wasn't too bad.
 
once i was working at the factory that stuffed the publishers clearing house envelopes. i had to sort the mail by zip code and bag and ship them. there were crates and crates and crates of the same damn letter that EVERYONE was a finalist. it killed my hopes of ed McMahon comming to my house. i mean everyone was a finalist. i was crushed...
 
My first real job that I actually got a paycheck and not cash because I was working for family?

I worked for the Assistant District Attorneys office Child Support and Juvenile Division. Was an experience all on its own. I had access to the criminal record room, which of course those days of being bored brought me there to be nosey. Its amazing what happens in your town that you never hear about. Massacres, and shit. Pics too.

the thing that stopped me from going in there and randomly browsing criminal files (which I should add are public records, you just have to have permission to view them) was when I randomly picked up a case that so happend to be the murder of my aunt, began reading and immediately reconized my moms name, grandmothers name, and quite a few other family members that witnessed the murder. Then the pics that were taken and put in the file for evidence. All of that was there.

A day that won't ever erase from my mind.
 
Snow cone girl at mcdonalds - skydome where the blue Jays play
 
Maintennance at a local city pool. Greatest job I ever had. The entire staff (lifeguards and maintennance) were all my friends from the city that I grew up with. All we did was fuck around all day. THere had to be someone at the pool 24/7, so that's all "maintennance" did. I don't think I picked up a brush the entire 3 months. Shifts were from 8am-4pm, 4pm - 12am and 12am-8am. For the last shift all we had to do was show up and sleep in the pool house. We would just drink and smoke all night then pass out. I used to suck down nitrous in the parking lot before my shift then stumble into work while everyone laughed at me. We also had control of the PA, so we used to make a lot of inappropriate announcements.

First one that I was taxed for? That's easy...Actor. I had a bit part in the Brink's Job with Peter Falk when it was filmed in Boston in 1979. Had to pay my union dues and everything.

First real regular job was a food runner. I used to cut the pizzas in the kitchen of a big Italian restaurant and haul them out to the customers. Some of them used to fall on the floor upsidedown. I still served them.

I was 16.5, it was a good job. Led to waiting tables and bartending through college, not to mention my lifelong love affair with waitresses.

Later,

I was a lifeguard at an inner city pool for a few years and I know exactly what you're talking about. Looking back now I can't believe the things we got away with. Man those were the days :verygood:

I was a SAG member at the time...but seeing it was 26 years ago and I haven't done any acting since, I think my SAG card is expired. :)

hey me too. I started as a busboy then learned the glorious job of a line cook at a hometown italian restaurant. It was owned by my wrestling coach. He was a real hard person to work for, and a two time state champion in wrestling. That was intimidating.
