You start to work immediately after college, or work before too? in summer holidays i mean, to pay your college.
You remember how much money you got your first paycheck?This is never forget, I even remember what I bought with my first salary.
How were you proud of your first paycheck? Do you get your friends out?confused

When I was about 9 or 10, my dad worked on a farm and my mum also did seasonal work there. We went potato-picking and they let me have a strip of the field to work on. We were paid 1s/3d per bag (The equivalent to about 6pence or £0.06GBP) and I worked hard. At the end of the week, I got my money and my mum said I could spend it on whatever I wanted. I had always wanted a pair of red shoes but, I had to wear black for school so that was what she had always bought me. With my 'wages' I bought a red pair. I can still picture them over 40years on and I kept them long after I had grown out of them happy [Wizzywig]
Hi is really great to have your own money to 10 years, i start to 17, when i worked in holidays, in summer to have money to buy what i want and pay my taxes.

My first job was at a daycare. I started there right before I turned 18. I don't remember how much my first paycheck was. I know it was pretty cool getting one for the first time. I think I just put most of it into savings because I wanted to move out of my parents house. It feels pretty good to earn a paycheck. [ravinskye]
Hi, i never can save money, not in the past, not now; i really spent all what i gain, i am lucky that i have my own bussinesshappy, and money are saved there [icesmile]
My first real job was working at McDonalds. I was not too proud of working there because I knew I was capable of better but I did what I had to do. The first paycheck I got wasn't so great. The first paycheck came out to $248 dollars which is okay I guess if you don't have bills to pay. Either way I was proud of myself because I worked for the money and earned it the right way instead of just taking it from someone else. The first thing I did was spend my money, which is what I did with the second check too. I wish I would have saved it. [anthony89]
T o Mc Donalds is a good job for young persons; yes, is good to can save, but in those days is so hard really, all are so much expensivehappy [icesmile]
Ignoring the after school paper round which I got paid £2.78 for delivering 150 papers once a week. My first real job was in a supermarket and I earned £194.40 a week for doing 40 hours work in the beers, wine and spirits section. The daft thing is it seemed like loads of money at the time especially compared to todays pay rates for similar work. [thedailyclick]
I started work cleaning and babysitting when I was Young, I got my first good paying job after I was out of school and married a few years.

Yes, I remember my first job and my first salary. It was very exciting at that time. The salary wasn't big but it was something which I will always remember. My first job was at a publishing company as an editorial assistant. I remember every detail of that time I worked there. [Cutie18f]
I won't forget my forst job. After my university graduation, I became an investment casting engineer in a foundry. The paycheck of first month is only 1,000 RMB. That's really a tough time. [SteveJi]

I worked as an intern in Citibank. I got paid 350pesos per day. I know it's not much but the responsibilities placed on me were huge deals that really felt how it is to work in the corporate world. I talk to the Indian counterparts and corporate representatives who were our clients. Although stressful, it was the best 3 months! [elainebautista]

My first job outside of babysitting was when I was in high school. I was a Junior in High School and I got a job at a department store called Montgomery Ward. I worked in the housewears department, I helped people choose cooking supplies and also did the cash register. My first paycheck was around $50.00 which was not too bad for a 16 year old in the 80's. I bought new clothes with my money. [ladym33]
I don't really remember. I started doing a paper route when I was about 12, so it was probably for around $30. When i got a job, it paid $6 per hour, so my paycheque was probably for around $96. Each time, I deposited it into the bank. [cutepenguin]
