For me, I was a "booth usher" at a movie theater in high school (very early 90's) where I started movies. It was my first supervisory role with actual accountabilities. Loved every second of it. It was the top role just under Manager.
Back then we had milar film we had to "thread" through a Christie projector. New movies came in a big aluminum box we had to splice and put together. Thursday nights (before the official Friday release) we'd invite friends and family to watch the movie after we closed. Awesome times.
Guessing it's all digital these days.

My first job, worked full time at a little supermarket stocking shelves. 8 bucks an hour, 11 on Sundays. They allowed overtime too.
Anyways, it was just good work, no bullshite managers.

Nurse's assistant at my dad's office in the summers between my highschool years. Met a lot of interesting people and gave me the ability to talk to just about anyone.

I worked at a bakery in high school. It was crazy early hours on the weekend, but I loved the people and they loved me. It was just a good place to work.

Probably working on campus setting up conferences and doing shuttles. Was run by a former member of my fraternity and the SAEs. Only hired people from there and 3 other fraternities that didn't suck. Best job on campus bar none. Pretty much got high the whole time and drove around a lot, mostly to the Memphis airport and satellite campuses. Got to know all the cool professors doing it, Dr. Novi in particular who I took like 4 of his classes.
Could do pretty much anything in that job until both of my bosses got promoted, and they brought in quite literally Colin Farrell from Horrible Bosses. Was the son of the Ole Miss Alumni Director, and was a coked out shithead who had no business managing anyone. I and basically every other person who had been there for over a year quit within 4 months, and he was fired in that same amount of time too.

Worked the fryer/chicken breading table at Chick fil A in high school. I would chow on nuggets all night, right out of the peanut oil. I still have dreams that I'm at that job
