Well I got hired last night to work as dishwasher at a fancy-schmancy restaurant/inn (I'm 17). When I say fancy-schmancy I mean one night at this place costs 700$. Anyways its hard work but the people are nice. My boss is, truth be told, a bit intimidating, but a nice guy once you get past that. He's ex-military and spent the whole night telling me stories of how him and his Hells Angels friends would take kids that piss them off and tie them up at the tide line.

Long story short I am going to make sure to stay on this guy's good side (even though I suspect he might be just fucking with me), and I was wondering about what kind of first jobs you guys have had?

Burger King. The job sucked but the people were intersting. I'm glad I had it. If need be I'd do it again. Current job kicks the shit out of it though

paper-route every morning (5am) 6-8th grd made $50 week. @ 16 I was doing the exact same as you 4.75 min wage. But our fancy restraunts aren't that expensive

Bus boy at The Three Rivers Inn. A kind of night club. I was underage, and it didn't pay really well, but I got to see Ray Charles, Bobby Darrin, Buddy Greco, Mike Douglas, and many other "name" acts of the time. Used to sit before the dinner crowds came in and watch guys like Billy Preston and Carl Mayno practicing their chops. Even the waitresses had a lot of class; I learned a lot about night life and the entertainment business from that job.

We've had people like Patrick Stewart (Jean-Luc Picard) and Jim Carrey come into the kitchen apparently. We are a big name hotel so celebrities are not a rarity.

As one old man to one not so old, sounds like you've got a pretty good opportunity there to learn and make connections. Nice going. Good luck on the job.
