Your First Pay Check!

[TommyGun465]

I recently sang for a tuna commercial, and got 50 euros(around 49.25 dollars. I dont know the value in pounds) for it. That was my first pay check. What was yours and what did you do for it?

I actually got payment for my work experience in the IT department of a top British book publishers.

 

[Pipotchi]

About £60 for a weekends worth of telesales, calling people and trying to flog them windows, utterly soul destroying

Um... a few months ago when I worked at a summer program called gateways... about $400. However, taxes took of about $50. Still, I'm only 15 so I was happy.

I got mine doing work experience, by doing extra work they agreed to pay me minimum wage for the week. I don't remember how much it was, but I was stacking shelves in superdrug.

As a kid I had a newspaper delivery route; the money was pitiful in today's terms, but back then I had a decent amount of discretionary cash to spend on luxuries like books, movies, and model kits. (And I had the doctors-and-lawyers route in my neighborhood, too, which meant Christmas tipping like you wouldn't believe. Yay for filthy luchre!)

My first cheque, as opposed to cash, payment for working was probably from my high-school job at a local self-serve gas station. I think it was $75 for two 12-hour shifts, but that was 1983 dollars and so not as paltry as you might think.

I got said 50 bucks for washing cars for 4 hours. That was about 3 years ago

I've only ever done work experience and that was in a finace department in my local council. Huge building, most of the workers are self involved pricks that think they're better than everyone else because they have an easy office job.

Also, why does every one in this world drink tea and coffee at work? I would prefer to drink liquidised pubes.

I recently sang for a tuna commercial

Am I the only person who laughed out loud at that line?

Haha, no!

My first check was from working at a movie theater, my parents made me give it to them though, I forget their reason, but I didn't see one penny of it.

I got 100 dollars for teaching two Krav Maga (self defense) classes at a conference a few years back.

[lanostos]

150$ CAD for working maintenance at my bowlng alley. (fancy word for janitor), but hey it's a decent high school job even if you have your hands in shite.

 

[TMAN10112]

I recently got a job at a dry cleaners(my first job), and I made $300 dollars in my first week because there were so many free hours, but now hours are tight so i only make around $65 a week.
