I first job was, like most girls, baby sitting. When I was in Junior Hi I had to pick up this little girl from her afterschool program, give her a snack, start dinner and watch her intil her grandfather came home about 3 hours latter. I don't remember how much I was paid, but I'm sure it was not much.
My first "real" job was at Long John Silver's. I am obviously much older than most of you, because minimum wage back in '83 was around $3.35 an hour. I remember how happy I was when I got 3.50! LOL I was the cashier and food prep girl, so I had to scoop up the cold slaw, refill the ketchup bottles, etc. I absolutely HATED the uniform. It was polyester with red, white and blue vertical stripes that would not have been flattering on anyone. It was an A-line cut, so it looked like a maternity top. I remember having to work the Friday after school started (the night of the first big football game for all of the high schools) and I stopped at the popular McDonalds after I got off work to get a bite and see who was there. The next week at school there was a rumor that I was pregnant! Seeing that I was a virgin, I would like to see that happen!!
