What was your first job?
bobochan: Scraping and painting a greenhouse at a farm for $3.50 an hour when I was 16.  It was actually a great job, except when we were painting the inside.  Once my back was hurting from painting some trim and I stood up too quickly and put by head right through one of the panes of glass.  Fortunately not even a scratch, but it scared the heck out of me.That was my first "real" job if you don't include all the standard stuff like paper routes, shoveling driveways and mowing lawns.
