whatever you do dont get a job at your local hill, sure it can be fun at first but you'll soon realize you have no "free sking" time...

i worked as a bank teller with a bunch of other kids my age at the time. i know it sounds like it'd be super strict and stuff but our bank was super laid back and we had so much fun. that was def the best job i've had. it sucks, i miss that shit now that i'm talking about it haha

My 1st job was at a pizza place too, tons of fun! Most of my jobs have been pretty sweet though, park crew, limo driver, overnight manager at a 24hr tanning salon(nothin' but strippers!), private investigator(such a rush tailing someone, getting within inches)...

well its not really a real job but i ref soccer games (im only 15). and its like $20 - $30 a game. during weekend tournaments ive made like $400 so its not bad for an underage job i guess.

I've got a shitty job. I'm only 14 so I can't really get a good job in Maine but I can work. I work for an engineering business in Maine as the custodian/faculty manager. Bascially I bring people paper, clean up their trash, and clean copy machines. I get paid preetty good tho. I mean I work 8 hours for 3 days in the week during summertime. Soo since I don't have to buy groceries and shit, I have a lot of pocket money during summer.

at 14 i was umpiring baseball games making 22.50 an hour, and i got to make my own schedule, and could work basically as much as I wanted to when i wanted to.

pretty bomb until some 8 year old's father followed me to my car and threatened to beat the living hell out of me.

Some people take baseball pretty seriously haha

Same. I now work at a pharmacy too and a summer camp. It's a lot of work but its worth it.

Just please don't be one of those kids who complains about working or having bad hours. I'm 16, have 3 jobs, and started working at 14. It doesn't suck that much (well, sometimes, but not always).

I worked at a starbucks kiosk in a mall. It was super fun. So chill and I got to hang out with so many people all the time.

Stayed there for two years and then I worked at a skate/clothing shop. It was equally as awesome.

Currently in the abyss of higher education = no working..

Yes i worked at a pizzeria as delivery for my first job. Such a dope first job, got good tips, and got to smoke a ton of bud every day. Someone there always had bud, i smoked on deliveries, before closing up shop, and even with my boss. We went to his house one day and smoked bongs before putting up fliers.

good times

I guess I'm pretty lucky. My family is pretty wealthy and both my parents love to ski so they buy me any ski gear that I could want (within reason). I don't really see a reason to get a job until im on my own. Since I lucked out in terms of my financial situation I figure I might as well take advantage of it.

that's nice your parents can take care of you, but return the favor and don't be a waste later in life.

my first job was for my dad and his contracting business when i was 13 or so.

I worked in a warehouse doing shipping shipping and receiving all through high school. Pretty easy job, with good pay (started at $10/hr) and ridiculously awesome hours. 8-5 m-f. needless to say i made bank and could still party and ski all weekend.

I worked at a bike shop for 2 summers. Building bikes and fixing them. It was a pretty sick job with like 40% off everything pretty much. Just ask around at places you want to work and maybe get a job or at least get to know the people better for a job later.
