Re: What was your first job?
Meh. As long as the kid is showing up to school, passing his classes and isn't being FORCED to work 40 hours a week....if they want to do it, I don't think the feds should have any say in the matter.Carry-a-Kimber wrote:

Re: What was your first job?
My dad farmed, so as soon as I could reach the pedals (and before, if he needed extra hands) I was working on the farm.
Didn't work for "someone else" until college. Spent some time as a shop porter/go-fer/car detail-er for an auto body shop while I was taking classes.
