My first job was in HS and had a base of $65 a week with commissions potentially bringing it up to ~$200. Average week was probably $80-95 a week with me periodically making in the $125-150 range (tax free)
The cac who was exploiting us also fed us after work. That was when McDonalds had the Big&Tasty sandwich. We was eating literally and figuratively
Went from Boss jeans, Chaps shirts and whatever Modells were selling for $40 to Guess, Polo and Jordans

First real job was at a deli spot making salads. Did that and an order picker at a wholesale flower place for two years to save up for college. Then my brother stole all that money and ran up some debt on my name in my freshman year

Summer before senior year of high school, I was a "lockerroom attendant" for a rec center in the projects.

Minimum wage, mostly was just mopping floors and shyt. The pool was closed all summer for some reason tho so we got to spend a lot of time sitting around playing Monopoly. Was cool for a high school job.

Salute to all dodgers fans back in the day who made me $100 naire

My first job was a summer job working in a window blinds factory at 15. There were alot of middle aged men who fukked up their life working there for minimum wage. The older dudes would always tell the young ones to stay in school so we don't end up like them. It was tough work, had to lift all kinda heavy dusty boxes that would leave me with shoulder and back pain, I quit after 8 weeks.

The highlight of the experience was the time a Jewish guy and a Palestinian guy threw hands on the floor.
