Re: <**QOTD 10.19.10**>

Ive helped out in my family business since I was little. My dad owns a candle company & we manufacture & distribute candles & other products. It was always so much fun to work there & I still do-although its not as much play as it use to be when I was little.

My first job outside of the family business I was a color assistant for Cactus in Dix Hills. I worked there for a week.

I worked for Delia's....not in a store...in the call center.

I got TONS of free clothes.

Eta: prior to that, I interned for a local punk label downtown...I didn't get paid though...but that also had some cool perks.

Besides babysitting (does that count?), my first unpaid job was actually working as a candy striper at North Shore Hospital in Manhasset where I worked mainly in the maternity ward.

I can't believe that now, 15 years later, I'm gonna be one of those patients!

My first paying job... I think I temped the first summer I was eligible to work, mostly as a secretary in offices around LI.

First real job besides babysitting and tutoring would be cashier at Pioneer Super Market. It was actually kinda fun because we ate SO much off the shelves and I worked with my bff at the time.

ETA: Plus, I'm an excellent bagger now.

Also, I was 16 when I had that job.
