First job- caddy at golf club - $10 for 18 holes in 1964.

My first real job was at A&P (The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co. for those who have never seen an A&P from 1965-1967. I worked on weekends and made 1.865 an hour. After that I worked summers for my dad on the railroad as a laborer when I was in college for $7 an hour.

My first job out of college was my first teaching job in which I made all of $475 per month. That was 1972, and I thought I had enough to buy a car. Silly me.

Reston Multiplex, Reston Town Center.

Back in my day you had to operate the projectors and do the film build, then sell tickets, clean up vomit, sell popcorn and wear a tie.

It was great.

Caddy in the mid 90s while in junior high school and I made approx. $30 a round, though it varied depending on the tip. In high school in the late 90s I was a warehouse associate and started at $7.70, and when I quit about nine months later was up around $8.25.

[LawFive]

When I was 12 I started as a soccer referee, $6/game for the 5-year-olds. 18 years later, some of the high school leagues I work are up to $90 for a JV/Varsity doubleheader...and with all the crap we deal with, even that's not enough to keep people around.

My first "real" job was senior year, pressure-washing semi trucks for $5/hr in the dead of winter.

A penny a minute picking up debris from various lots (cleaning up builders' mess, before landscaping, etc).. But it was all cash, so I really stuck it to Uncle Sam
