    ... my mother ...

    I was born into an Anglican family, but soon drifted away from the church, eventually becoming a Tao-Zen Buddhist ... my mother tried to rekindle my interest in the church and my mother got me a job (at age 13) doing some janitorial and grounds keeping work for our local Anglican church ... I got a flat $125.00 dollars per month and had to shovel snow (winter), plant flowers (spring), cut grass & trim trees/bushes (summer), and rake leaves (autumn) ... as well as sweep & mop floors & take out garbage.

    I got my first degree black belt at age 13 and my parents stopped paying for my martial arts lessons ... I had to get a job so I could be able to pay for continuing lessons by myself ...

    My first job was an after school job. I heard about it from a friend and we both went to fill out an application and both got hired. My first full time job I got because I saw an ad in the paper and went to apply and got the job.

    Tough question to answer since I've usually worked for myself. I did some work for my parents at their businesses when I was 14-16 but since then I've mostly been self-employed. And later in life I also worked with my husband, again, as self contractors.

    My first full-time job after college graduation? Me. I gave my resume personally to the company that I was applying for. Fortunately there was a vacancy, and they asked me to return in the afternoon to take writing and English proficiency examinations. I got hired a few days after. Apparently there was an urgent need to fill that vacancy.

    I'm not exactly sure who "got me" that first job since there was nepotism involved. My father had three brothers. Two of them and a cousin ran the family's Dr Pepper bottling plant in my dad's home town. At age thirteen, I worked there for $10 a day (1961) loading empty bottles into the bottle washer. I only lasted 11 days before I was put on an airplane to fly back home. Could it have had anything to do with the nearly fifty cases of empty bottles I broke in one day?
