When I got out of school at 18, it was the early 80's and the recession was so bad that nearly no one was hiring, not even fast-food chains. (Not an exaggeration.) So I didn't get a "real" job until I was 20, finally getting on at McDonald's. Technically, however, I wasn't a teenager anymore.

It went off on me, I screamed and shook my hand until it flew out from under my nail, but it landed in the tissue paper for gift wrapping.
