I recently started working at Sonic. If your not in the US and dont know what Sonic is, it is a fast food drive-in/thru restaurant. I have only worked an few shifts, but I have already learned a lot from it. I know what it is like to work for your money instead of just waiting for Christmas or your birthday to roll around. You also learn to some what respect you free time. While in school, you are still pretty relaxed, you aren't having someone breathing down your neck and no one is going to threaten to take school away from you. So, when you work 6-8 hours 6 days of the week and get one off, you realize that you need to respect and enjoy that free time because you don't have anywhere near as much free time. Well... I think I should replace free time with just flat out not being under some sort of stress. And, im on my last year of highschool and after summer im going to part time. But, I can only imagine how little time you aren't just stressed out as an adult by something. I get to keep my money. I have some stuff I have to set aside money for.... for reasons, but I don't bills to pay or food to put on the table for anyone. So, I really didn't want to get a job, but I am glad I did. I hope I won't always be working shitty jobs for minimum wage, but at least I know what to expect if I do.

So what was your first job like. Did you get in highschool or after you left home. And, is taking care of your self really as stressful (for lack of a better work =P) as I think it is or am I just psyching myself out.?

It's good that you have a good mindset (so far) about having to work, though I wouldn't say you've probably learned as much yet as you think you have. You start to really learn more once you are working while attending university and living on your own past high school.

I got my first job when I was in middle school (grade 7, 12 years old). I guess it was abnormally early compared to most people, but I grew up in a really poor family and it was more or less required for me to.

Taking care of yourself isn't stressful really, but it's not easy I suppose. To do it properly anyway; some people consider taking care of themselves living in a shitty apartment with a minimum wage job making craft dinner and eating pizza, minimalistic style. Doing it healthy and properly does require a lot more effort than the former, as well as high school.

First job I had was as a construction worker, during the summer breaks when I was 16, 17 and 18 years old. I think working for minimum wage, doing manual work is a really good learning experience. Especially for people (like myself) who go on with their studies and get a more abstract job later on, it really helps grounding you.

Also yeah student life was bliss. Once you start working, paying rent, paying your taxes and all... I wouldn't call it stressful or hard either, but it's still somewhat of a burden when compared to the carefree student life (at least my life as a student was carefree with parents providing everything, I have lots of respect for people working to get themselves through college and doing everything on their own since so young).

My first first job was when I was 13, or 14 working as a Caddy at a country club near my parents place. Tax free which was nice, in high school though I worked at a dry cleaners, a block buster, and I worked for a local city government mowing public property which was far and away the best job I had out of the pre-18 jobs.

Best thing is to work in a place you really enjoy. I can say this about myself, finally at age 25 (now 27) I've got a job at Skoda and I have to say it's my 2nd home, people are really nice and friendly, my boss is a good guy and I really like my job. There is nothing better than having a job you do really enjoy.
