YES!!! I got my first job as a grocery store sacker today!!!
Now I can buy models with my own money!!!
Look out Bill Gates, welcome to the working world. I remember my first job delivering newspapers, we would get paid once a month, and right to the LHS I would go, and come home with a bag full of athearn blue box kits, back then they averaged about $3-$7 a kit, now you need at least $10 a kit and $20 for Ready to Run, OOOO the good old days.
First job-paper route. Watching dawn out of the Atlantic ocean in Miami Beach. Wasn’t
into modeling then. Rode 'em from N.Y. to Conn. and N.Y. to Miami. Last train trip was
in '56. Fort Benning to Miami and back.
WElcome to the working world. My first job was packing groceries. I’m glad I picked that job because I learned a lot about how companies run that day. From ordering stock to stock, stocking the shelfs, money managment, dealing with costumers, and time managnment. You’ll have a good time working and it will feel so great to be able to buy what you want. Just remember to save some of your money. Cause you never know when unexpected expenses will come, like car repairs. congratulations and I wish you the best at your new job.

Thanks guys for the word of encouragement. I’ll take that when I start my job Wednesday.

Just don’t blow your first pay check on trains. Now that your working your going to need to learn how to save as well as spend.
congrats on the job mate, I started my working life at the age of 15, making sausages and grinding up pet mince in the back room of the local butchers. I’m glad to say I have come along way since then, but have never forgotten where I came from. Life is what you make it. You will have to give us all an update toward the end of the week on how you went .
cheers.

My first job was doing cleanup in a Pizza Hut. Yup… doing dishes, mopping floors, vacuuming carpets, cleaning restrooms (the stories I could tell) etc. After a while there I advanced to cook, and I really LOVED cooking pizzas (my favorite food).
Now I’m an Info Tech Supervisor and Database Administrator. It pays the bills rather nicely. But if I could do anything I wanted without worrying about the money? I’d be cooking pizzas again. I liked that job more than any other job I’ve had in my life.
When I get to the point when I semi-retire and can work at something without worrying about the money, old RoadTrp will be cooking pizzas again!!
Wow! I just got back from my job at the grocery store and it went great! Couldn’t of gone better![:D][:D]
Thanks guys for the responses![:D]
I’ll take a Meat Lovers w/extra cheese on pan crust.[:p] Dave

I have to whole - heartedly agree with TA462. Learn to save some for a rainy day. One of these days you will be glad you did. [;)]
[#ditto]Ditto here, but with one major exception! Working at the Hut usually meant eating at the Hut, so I have been ruined for Pizza. [xx(] It’s pretty well killed of my taste for most Italian foods (anything with Marinara sauce). It’s the old, “too much of a good thing” addage at work.
Welcome to the work force Flyer! [:D] Remember, a bag of frozen peas makes a great substitute for an ice pack if needed![B)]
First job I had was working 20 hours a week in a hobby shop at the age of 16. as a sales clerk…Man,I thought I was in 7th heaven…
