I’m not sure what my very first paying job was. I watched the neighbor’s kids after school, but I don’t recall if they paid me or not. If they didn’t, then that was pretty stupid of me. And cheap of them.
The first paying job I can really think of was during Christmas at a JC Penney. I was the one who stood at the dressing room making sure people didn’t take in too many items and then putting away the stuff they were too lazy to put away decided not to purchase. I don’t miss retail.
