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.

my first job ever was working at a place called bison business supplies as a web-designer in great meadows... they've gone out of business since... pay was 9.50/hr at 16... not bad...
****tiest job I ever worked though was american eagle when I was 17.. hah.. i took it for extra money from the other stuff I was doing at the time, but ****** job. Only bonus was you could "accidentally" walk in on chicks in the dressing room every now and then

I drove the ball collector at a driving range. That was fun, I would basically shut my mind off and drive around the field for an hour or so.

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.

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.
