i aint counting the moving gig I had at 16 when i was getting paid under the table. My first real check was senior year, I was one of those damn dancers for a Tax service company...I was outside dressed up as Uncle Sam or Lady Liberty :sadcam:.....part time after school, my first check was like 170 something I think......



EDIT: actually that was my second legit gig...my first real job was at Sonics summer after junior year....I think I made 300 something...I was working like everyday, 8 hours

Used to make 12.50 an hour at a meat factory when i was 16. Paychecks were a solid $500 weekly. Saved up 2Gs by the time the summer was done and loaned it to my mom. Spent the rest on probably Candy, Madden 2007, a ps2 controller and some other shyt

nikka your first job you were making $2000/mo :beli:?

I woulda been robbed your Ass.

hilarious. lol

first check was when i was 16 and worked a summer job at a legit company doing a little bit of everything (clerical, mail room, working with engineers, etc, basically interning but for a wage. ) i actually was working 40 hours a week. unheard of for most kids. every 2 weeks $400.00 more like $350. no real taxes taken out since i wasnt working long enough to make over the amt you need where you have to file your taxes and claim 0. i claimed 0 + exempt. brought home $700 a month. worked 2 months straight before it was time for school again.
I still remember the look on moms face when she said "ay its time to go shopping for your school clothes." i pulled my wallet out and said...dont worry about it. i got this." life was good :smugdraper:

moms was like you serious? :leon:
i said yep.
i remember i had enough cash to send my older brother some doe cause he was a broke college student living on the other side of the country. he was like :salute:

never felt prouder.

That's some real ass shyt right there. I remember when I was a broke college student my brother wouldn't even give me a ride to school and we had the same class :pacspit:

I had to walk 45 minutes one way in the rain, heat, and snow. nikka would even drive pass me on the way to class on some :mjpls: shyt.

Can't be too mad cause it made me what I am today, but that's when I realize there were a lot of fukk nikkas in my family :camby:

That hard working africanism + a unionized workforce. 40 hours a week in the summer 6AM-2:30 in a meat factory. Went back after freshman year of University and after Sophomore year. By that time it had gone up from 12.50 to like 14 an hour
