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.

I was a candy striper too-but at huntington hospital (where I delivered hehe)

McDonalds at 14 years old. I was determined to buy my own clothes at Wet Seal and Casual Contempo since my mother would not lol. Also, I was determined to get these awesome boots at Wild Pair. Hellllloooooo McDonalds!

OMG! I used to LOVE Contempo! I miss that store!

I know!!! I am too big for it now...but omg I used to love it there!!! I must have applied to work there like 5 times so I could get a discount. lol They never hired me though...boo! My next job was pottery barn...seriously...what 16 year old wants ANYTHING from pottery barn? lol

---

I applied there, too! They never hired me either. I didn't even know there were still stores around?? Oh well, I probably wouldn't like it half as much now as I did back then.

You think you're next job was bad- I worked at a bagel store and then a CEMETERY! I took orders for grave openings. Morbid, I know!

I worked for the Town of Hempstead Department of Parks and Recreation. I worked at one their parks by my house. I did office work, cheerleading/kickline coaching, arts and crafts, and a whole lotta other stuff.

I worked there for 9 years!

I was a paid babysitter for a 6 month old and 1 and a half year old at 9 years old!

My original answer was wrong.


My first job was in a commercial when I was 10 months old

I was 16 and I did an internship with a brokerage firm working on their trading floor...I fell inlove with Finance
