What was your very first job?
Submitted by Laurel.
Funny that this question appears today, since it's my last full day at the job I've held for eight years.
The very very first time I got a paycheck was in elementary school. I spent two hours doing some work at school -- checking people in for an event -- and was paid either $8 or $16 for my efforts. In high school, all my jobs were borrrrring data-entry-type stuff. In college, I made $7/hour (which was a TON of money) working in the academic technology lab. Basically teaching faculty how to use computers, scanners, etc.
I had an editorial internship at Cat Fancy magazine my senior year of college. I worked on the magazine and helped launch web sites for Cat Fancy and Dog Fancy. That was my first real office setting. Does that count?
Two days after I graduated from college, fresh journalism degree in hand, I started as a content producer at huge media conglomerate in Chicago. I edited content for the web. I remember editing a lot of horoscopes. I will always consider this to be my first real job.
Then I moved to San Francisco in 1998 and got a new job, where I've been for eight years. I turn in my keys tomorrow!
