Actually the speed way. It was an awesome job. The fringes were great. Always plenty of hot women. Free tickets to the Beach Boys, Paul Revere and the Raiders, etc.

My first job was at a small bakery chain called La Petite Boulangerie. Bread and deli. We were making just over $3 an hour in the mid 80s. 2 of my friends and I all applied together and we were all hired. It was a lot of fun.

We were all fired because one day we decided to slice open the side of a few baugettes and put pickle spears inside them and sell them to people. We thought it would be funny to watch their expressions as they sliced open their baguettes to find pickles inside. We didnt really think it through very well. We were all fired that day.

My first job was for the University of Utah football team, working at their catered dinner line in a room in the student Union building. I was paid $3.80 to shovel food onto plates, and keep the drink machines filled, and the salad, sandwich, and dessert bars stocked, and bus their tables. Most of them were really cool, would shoot pool with me afterwards, invite me to their parties and gave me game tickets.

It depresses me to think about how little I worked for. I guess that's why they say education is a good thing.

I make more than double the highest wage both my parents made together

Education is a great thing.

Sadly, Danimal with his PhD will probably never make what my dad did with his high school diploma.

I have a buddy who is 28 and in his first year of law school and has never had a job in his life.

Job 1. $3.35 per hour washing dishes at Pancho Villa on Highland Dr. near Cottonwood Mall. It's gone now.
The bus boys would collect the fumes from the tequilla mini-bottles after clearing a table and have about 3/4 of a mini at the end of a busy weekend. A nice buzzed bike ride home.

Or gullible. I was the clothes folder, not the model, hence the salary. My friend and I were just shopping and they asked if we wanted a job, we thought we'd score some chicks that way. Worst job ever.
