How old were you when you got your first job?

12. I worked at the riding stable I took lessons from. From grooming horses on show days (back then I got paid 40 bucks a head) to mucking stalls, tending to wounds, training the babies, excersing the boarders and leading trail rides. When I was 16, I got certified to train horses and teach riding lessons up to level 3 in both English and Western. I was already making 25 bucks an hour. Today, I own my own farm and net in about 260,000 annually now.

Wow!!! That's dedication!!! Awesome!

Wow!!! That's dedication!!! Awesome!

Funny thing, the farm is just a part time job for me (or more like my retirement fund) I work full time for a military contractor.

I was 10 years old when I got my first job. Two of my closest friends and I got a paper route with one of the two major newspapers in our area. Did that for 4 years from 5th grade(grade school) through 8th(middle school). Quit when I got into High School for my Freshman and Sophmore year. Got a new job my Junior year and have been working ever since, working up the ladder to bigger and better jobs. Which isn't that hard to do unless you're a lazy slacker or bum...looking at you fast food workers who are in their 20's and older that were demanding $15 an hour.

I must be a late bloomer then, because mine was 21 in the front seat of a Ford Probe.

Mine was in a little red corvette with Sheena Easton and Vanity. Or was that Morris? Ooooo-eeeee!

I've never heard of that movie before, but it is now my life's mission to see it.
