Your 1st Job

My very first W-2 wage paying job was Peer Tutor.  In 1986,  I just started freshman year in high school & made a whole $3.76 per hour for 1 to maybe 1.5 hours per day, after school.  Ahhhh...the good ole days.

That's yours truly in the v-neck, sleeveless sweater & the bling in the ears (in front of the teacher/monitor).

Tell me about your 1st job.
