| What was your first real job? What was your real first job?
I give guitar lessons. It's only once a week so I don't know if you call it a real job. |

| Depending on your definition of a "real job," either tutoring math, wiping fingerprints off cars at a local car show, or I've yet to get one. |

| My first job that I actually made money at was a paper route through 6th and 7th grade. It wasn't until I got a job at Burger King in 10th grade that I actually paid taxes though. |

| I was a nanny. Sadly I basically raised the baby from the time he was 4 months until he was almost 2 because his parents were so busy with their own lives and jobs.

| I've worked at a bank for about three years. The past two summers are the ones where I did more real work. Last year I worked in a department where I worked with credit card stuff, filing, and entering information into the computer. This summer I worked as a teller.
I used to babysit my cousins and neighbors since I was in about 7th grade, more when I was able to drive myself to their house. |

| My First Job! My first real job was the Military. I joined The Army National Guard back in January 2004. I was in it for about a year. I began going to drill a few months before May I wanna say, and went to Boot Camp in November. So I attended drill a little before May, and all summer long. I was stationed in Fort Benning, Georgia. I was at the processing unit, 30th AG, for three days. I snapped though. I went crazy, and decided I didn't want the Military like I thought I did. I told them I would kill myself if they kept me there, so they put me in a psychiatric ward for a week. I prayed to the Lord to get me out of that place, and he did. Now I'm back here at home. I feel the Military simply wasin't for me, and The Lord had something better in store for me. And I'm glad I didn't kill myself like I had planned, because now the Lord has given me a full-time job at Wal-Mart Supercenter, and I'm going into Ministry very soon. I wasin't a full-fledged christian back then, I sinned all the time, I was lost. Now I'm found thank The Lord! |

| The first job that I had was a paper route with the local town paper. I did that route for the better part of three years.
After that I got my first "real" job working for Long's Drugs as a customer service rep (also did that job for three years).
