Wyld Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 (edited) The sem before i graduated, i began working as a Student Assistant for one of my professors in the UP Psych Department. My first paycheck i used to finance one of my final research papers right before i graduated. Â The succeeding paychecks allowed me to bum around UP for the next 3 months without having to ask for baon from my mom... and look for a real job at the same time. Â I quit that job when I got my first real job... as an...HR Analyst for a start up telco in Ortigas. Â My first paycheck - i treated my mom out to dinner and then bought some groceries and clothes ... Edited June 27, 2004 by WyldChik Quote Link to comment

Magaling Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 At age 4 or 5, my first "job" was folding napkins and wrapping utensils at my grandma's restaurant. I was paid with ice cream. My first non-family related work was when my friends and I set up a mobile disco in high school for which we didn't also make money coz we did it only so we can meet girls and get laid. My first non-family related work for which I actually got paid was as a talent for a couple of tv commercials me and my friends did in college. More of a gimmick than a job. Burned the money easily on dates. Got laid. My first real job was as an account executive. Real salary plus commissions. Met lots of secretaries. Got laid often.

Labuyo Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 (edited) i am still (stuck) in my first job. though my pay has increased to >2x what i started with. more if you factor in the peso/$ rate. first thing i bought would technically be booze  though the first substantial thing would be a portable vcd/cd player for my then (1997) girlfriend as my christmas gift to her.
