What was your first paycheck-type job & how old were you? (65)
I was 14 and it was at an A&W Root Beer stand. I hookied school everyday and had a job as a car hop. But I looked older than my age and was able to hold this job for about 5 months before someone discovered I wasn't going to school.
First full time job was at a bakery...filling donuts at 4 AM everyday. I was 15 and living on my own, after running away from home
