First Job

I found this via Christopher and Michael.

1) What was your very first job where you received a paycheck?
That's a tough question for me. I've never worked as an employee for anyone. I have received payment as an independent contractor, but that's technically more of a customer relationship wherein the payer was paying my business for services rendered. The closest I've come to technically working for someone else would be some work for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch awhile back, but that was a freelance contractor arrangement too.

2) How old were you?
With the above caveats out of the way, I received my first check from a business at 13 or 14. I don't recall for sure.

3) Did the job require you to wear a uniform? - take a moment and describe?
No.

4) How long did you keep your first job?
This question doesn't really apply.

5) When you left your first job was it because you quit or were you fired?
Ditto.

6) What was your second job?
See above.

7) Were you ever “counseled” about your performance on a job? What for?
I've had some irate customers, does that count?
