At what Age Do You First Work?

funnysnow · 14-10-2006, 07:25 PM

I start working when I was only primary five. Helping out in my parent stall. Didnt got any pay though.

During the secondary 1, got scam in distributting flyers. Went block to block distributting flyers, but in the end the 'boss' MIA.

The first pay I got was selling ice creams when I was secondary 2, I think.

When I was 16 years old, after my N level. I worked as carpart attendant. Work for around 2 months. Relaxing job where I sleep in the office but gotta do work. from 10am to 6pm, S$5 per hours. 5 days a week.

When I was 17 years old, after my O level. I worked as security guard in commercial building. S$43 per 12hr. 5 days a week. I was working night shift. Sleep and use telephone, patrol (clocking) needed too. Work for going 3 months, quit because me and my friend had a conflict with a staff. And the management not happy with me and my friend hair. Too long and dyed hair. We were shifted to a condo. But not happy working there, so we quited together.

This year, 19. May-July holiday. I worked in MINI-TOONS. worked there for going 3 months. Full time as sales assistant. Pay was like $1200 + commission per month(havent deduct CPF). 5 Days a week, 11 hours a day. Enjoy working there. But alot rules to follow and service must be tip-top. Quit because of my school.

I first work at 14, that is, last december holiday. At Bugis Junction Yoshinoya, $3.50 per hour, 99.9% as a cashier. It was a good experiance, learnt to interact with the society with less pressure, learnt not to talk too much or you alot of trouble. Also had fun talking with customers, looking aunties, ah ma(s), ladies, women, girls, chio bu(s), sexy bitch, and cuties walking pass. Earn S$1000 within two months, spent it until now still left S$300, not bad eh? Of course, quited already, and waiting for next year December holiday to work at factories where pay is just twice or even triple.
