I remember my first job that wasn’t paid under the table – I did a summer work program called HOSO. I was 14, and I got to teach little kids basic science experiments. It was awesome :)
My following jobs were a mix of working with children, waitressing and night cleaning. Lovely positions, lol.
Working as a janitor at night was not my dream job, but I was willing to work for gas money any way I could. After a few months of cleaning the local health care center, I was lucky enough to be there one night when an employee needed help. It was a simple computer problem and I solved it right away, but it wasn’t long before they thought I was some sort of computer prodigy and they hired me for the first of my IT jobs.
Although I did very little actual development, I did luck into an opportunity that helped to shape a lot more of my life.
So let’s hear it, where was your first job? How did you get it? Did it lead to something you never would have imagined? |
