Your first job

I was a gardener when i was 14. Helped out our neighbour during the summer with his business. Made good money.

At the moment I don't work, but I can't see myself going back to gardening.

As a teen, restaurant dish-and-pot-washer.

Less dirt, less dickhead chefs, more public, more responsibilities.

Ringing neighbours doors asking if they wanted a "deluxe car wash"

Perol station when I was 16 getting £1.50 an hour. Hated it.

Loungeboy in a golf club for 2.50 (punts) an hour when I was fourteen.

shop assistant in a pharmacy, still doing the same job, hoping to start a Pharmacy technican course in September

My first one was a bob-a-job I did for Mrs. Moriarty when I was in the scouts. She made me clear all the nettles and briars from her back garden, the old bag. Obviously there weren't any formal channels I could've gone through to complain...a scout labour movement being virtually non-existent at the time.

My first real job was in the toy section of Clery's. I'm never having children. They're evil.

Pushing trollies in superquinn car park, dark dark memories of what was a very **** period.

First job was really only a summer job but it was pretty cool. I was working in Radio Kilkenny doing anything and everything (except presenting of course). Some of it was boring - this was in the days before mp3s but all the music was still recorded onto a computer for easy playlist management and access. Thing is, I had to go through each recording, of which there were thousands, to edit out any silence at the start and end of the recordings. Mind numbing stuff but there was cool things too like I got to pick out which songs were used on a Neil Young feature and I learned some technical stuff from the station engineer.

Sure beats bar work.

working in a factory at 12, a pound (punt) an hour.
in summer I made 40 quid a week, i was fecking loaded
