My first official job was at Rainbow Car Wash in EO...I was 16 and made 2.75 an hour or something like that. All I know is I joined the Navy a year later and never saw so much money at once =)

My first real job was when I was 15 at Princeton Ski Shop. Then after that I began working for a company called EK Success its a dress shirt type of job but I don't mind cause the pay is good and I get weekends, nights and holidays off.

Although I have been cutting some lawns and shoveling snow since I was about 12 or 13 and till this day thats probably where I make the best money lol.

It was pretty cool. I learned a lot about apples and the types of stuff you have to do to grow decent ones. The cider was truly awesome at the orchard since we used good quality apples and it was unpasteurized. Just pressed fruit. Sure, there was a bit of risk about e-coli but the flavor was amazing. The orchard has since gone to UV treatment of the cider and it's still good, but not the same.

Ian 03-19-2006 10:21 PM

there was a local orchard near me that has since shut down that made unpasteurized cider. they also made apple cider donuts :drool: .I'd kill to have them re-open :lol:

When I was 15-16 I made chump change doing all kinds of work for my uncle. Then at 17 I got a job at "The Body Works" (auto body) in Paterson, my dad is friends with the owner. He ended up selling it last February and this June will be one year that I've been working at FedEx part time.

I started delivering newspapers when I was 11, kept that up until I was 18. I made good money (was pulling in about $250/week for 10-12 hours of work during my last year), but that was way to early in the morning for me to keep up with.
