Paper routes most of my teenage years.

 

I got hired as a dishwasher and then "promoted" to busboy at my first "real" job in high school. Two things I remember about it. My first raise (from $3.35 an hour to $3.50 ) and meeting the first love of my life, a beautiful blond girl who I was with for years afterwards.

My first job was workin at Aztec Market, a little corner store in Southwest Detroit around the corner from where I lived. It was during the summer and I think I was about 9 or 10 yrs old. I worked 40 hours a week and made $1 an hour which I spent most of on lunch
