I guess technically it was at a golf course at 15 years old but I pretty much got fired before I even started for fricking around on the course with some friends the day before my start date

First paycheck was from Blue Bayou. $4/hr to hand squeeze lemonade.

Worked at Walmart and made minimum wage, which I think was around $6.15 an hour in 2004. I did some flat rate jobs before that though. I made $7/game keeping score for Freshman and JV girls basketball games.
