CONFESS!!!! What is the first job you ever had!!!
Advertisements [?]
We all probably had some minimum wage paying crap job when we first got old enough to work.

My job - I worked at a fast food restaurant called "Farm Family Resturant" in Harrisburg PA. They were a fried chicken fastfood place where on Tuesdays & Wednesdays they had "All-you-can-eat" Chicken nights (ugh!). My mother wanted me to work at Hardees because it was 2 blocks from my home but I wanted to work over in Harrisburg where I could meet fun & interesting people (Unlike the rednecks from Perry County). But after 6 months at the Farm Family I did end up at Hardees only because they offered me 25cents more an hour in pay. Plus Hardees guarenteed they would bring me back over the holidays when I went to college.

My first real 'non-fastfood' job was summers at EDS back when Ross Perot own the business. They had a data center in Camp Hill where my mother worked and my brother did summers while he was in college. So I was able to secure a great paying job there for summers and holiday breaks. I actually shoke Ross Perot's hand once

I swear, the main reason I rarely eat in Fast Food is because I worked in it for 2 years as a kid.
