Worked at a movie theater as a projectionist and usher. Fun watching free movies, dating girls who worked there ,and getting free popcorn. What’s better than that?

My first job was a delivery driver assistant for a huge corporation known as SYSCO. For me at the time it was awesome. A young kid in high school (this was a summer job) would be able to party and stay out. Get up at like 3-4 am go to work, be done with work by usually 1-2 in the afternoon and have the rest of the day to do whatever. I honestly enjoyed it.

It was fun but they had all these rules about. How much the icre cream should weigh etc. At least 2 girls quit crying when they got yelled at for giving too much ice cream to the customers. I was the master of the hollow ice cream scoop so it looked like I have people a lot but I had a freakish talent for always getting it to weigh the right amount

Worked at a credit union, I loved it there. Great group of employees from the management down. Had to learn a bunch of regulations and crap but it was a good experience. The homies Gabe and Eric took me under their wing. The only downside was the morons cursing you out because they don't know how to manage their money. But for the most part most of the members were nice people. I changed my mind the worst was some guy named David who smells like moldy cat piss and body odor. One of our tellers gagged every time that dude came in, even when she was across the Teller line

I worked for a catering company when I was like 12-15. It was a lot of fun. Met a lot of ladies and my best bud at the time worked with me so we snuck beers and got to mess around the whole time lmao.

I worked in the office of a pretty small training facility (for all athletes but they had hockey treadmills too so a lot of that), just answered any random calls/took payments at front window/cleaned the place and so on mostly things trainers didn't wanna do or have time for. I liked the people there and it was good experience overall.

First job where I got paid was graphic design shit for my school's athletic dept. Mainly did basketball stuff and made gameday posters that supposedly were shown across campus but I lived off campus and never saw them anywhere lol. Made a t-shirt that was a giveaway for the home opener which was dope.

I worked at a beach hotel in Santa Monica, CA called The Hotel California (no relation to the song). I worked the front desk for about a year and a half. It was pretty dope because it was such a small hotel so I got to do a lot. Plus on the weekends it was only me and the housekeeping staff at the hotel (manager didn’t work weekends). I’d take naps in the rooms after checkouts.

Drug dealing if we’re going to be technical here but first job that required a W-2 was Costco as a Front End Assistant. Basically I was the utility player / Swiss Army knife. Sometimes I would be out in the snow bringing all the shopping carts in and almost getting hit by cars and people being assholes, sometimes I would be boxing up everyone’s purchases, sometimes I pitched membership upgrade sales, and then I closed every night I worked so I had to clean a bunch and like take inventory and fix up all the aisles and pull boxes forward and shit. It paid well for a first job and I met Rik Smits and Trent Richardson from there, but the leadership were really unnecessarily tough and over-bearing so it burnt me out and I’ve never been back to a Costco since.

I did research at a microbiology lab the summer before my junior year in high school. I didn't get paid though if that's relevant. My boss/mentor during the internship was super chill though. In addition to a microbio project in the lab that was mainly just working with pipettes and centrifuges, I'd watch the FIFA world cup and play starcraft. with him and some of the grad student researchers. And there was a girl interning too and we'd always get yelled at for putting dry ice in centrifuge tubes (they explode, in a relatively safe manner) in each others pockets or around the lab lol

First job was actually at a Hot Dog place because my parents knew the owner, and it only lasted a day, the place in general only lasted a couple months. It was a failure.

But the one I actually count would be working at Six Flags, and I worked in retail there. Good summer job when I wasn't in school, and of all the positions at a theme park, retail is definitely the one you want to be in. Having to deal with customers sucks though, people are assholes especially when it's hot out, people are miserable.
