My Question of the Day: We all had to start somewhere. Think back to when you first started in the workforce. What was a job you did as a teenager that you wouldn’t want to do now?

My 2 Cents: Thanks to my Daddy getting me involved with computers when I was in middle school, I didn’t really have a horrible job as a teenager that I wouldn’t want to do now. I worked at a few pizza joints as a waitress, but I didn’t mind that much at all. The tips allowed me to have money in my pocket at all times. That was cool.

When I got older, I did a lot of temporary work in offices, so that wasn’t bad either. When I was in college, I took a job as a hotel maid, and that’s something I’d prefer never to have to do again. However, if a push came to a shove, I’d do it and feel fortunate to have the money.

DerekIsNormal My first job at a Grocery store and I was a bag boy at $5.20 an hour. I would NEVER wish that type of torture on anyone!

My Question of the Day: There’s nothing like earning your own money and not having to depend on anyone else. There’s a sense of independence that comes with being able to take care of yourself financially which makes you feel free. When you got your first REAL job, what was one (or two or three) of your first major purchases; a purchase or purchases that said to you, and others, “I’m grown”?

My 2 Cents: At the same time I got my first real job, I got my first apartment, so my first “I’m grown” purchases were to furnish this new apartment.

Not only did I have to buy furniture, I had to buy toothpaste, toilet paper, dishes, silverware, glasses and all the other things you don’t think about buying (or including in the cost of having your own place) when you’re living in your parents’ house and these things just seem to be there when you want/need them .

After I bought all that stuff, and had about seven cents left until the next payday, you couldn’t tell me I wasn’t grown. Haha.
