I was that dumb kid who thought my only career options were firefighter, police officer, astronaut, or president.

I picked firefighter because I liked fire, a lot

My actual first job was mowing lawns. My Dad loaned me his old arse trailer, basic equipment, and told me to save for better stuff. Did that 3 years running until college and then sold all the equipment for drinking money before college.

Didn't really think about what job I wanted but working at the mall in a dress shop in the late 80s and getting a discount on my geometric patterned skirts and jackets with shoulder pads seemed like I was living the dream.

My first job was rolling condoms onto a giant wooden dildo with grooved rings cut into it. I would then mark the rings with a sharpie. And then take them over to a paper cutter and slice them into long strips.

I would then hand the strips of latex to a group of Pentecostal preachers who would press them between aluminum frames to make turkey calls.

I don't remember what job I wanted, but my first job was at 14 at a nursery/landscaping place shoveling mulch out back for the most part and helping old ladies carry their plants/flowers to their cars for $0.25 tips. There were also all kinds of animals running around there and a Cayman that would somehow always get out of his enclosure, so almost every morning I would have to go found the Cayman in the water plants section

Actually worked at a horse barn cleaning up the horse stalls


My 2nd job. First was cutting grass. The best was getting paid to ride horses, owners would want their horses exercised and would tip what I thought were exorbitant amounts of money for me to ride their horse around the fields. The worst was the horse shite...

I never thought about the first job I wanted. But my first job was a bus boy at a Mexican eatery. We would stick our heads under the margarita machine before the rush hour. 16 Y/O me was in heaven.
