I got my first job three months after I turned 16 at the Walgreens in Spring Hill mall. It was the perfect job and everyone was fun. One of my best jobs: working at the check out counter at the Dundee Township Public library.

My first was job was working at a grocery store. I got a chance to work with my cousin and earn some money, it was a fun experience. I was 13 years old, good times.

One of the best jobs I've had was working room service at the Omni Hotel in Indianapolis, IN. That is where all of the entertainers stayed when they would perform at Verizon Music Center. I got to meet The Grateful Dead, Color Me Badd, the Nelson Twins, Led Zeppelin, etc. That was pretty cool.

My first job was at Great America. I was a ticket taker at the front gate. I ended up working there for seven seasons and eventually became a supervisor. Those were some really awesome years and I'm still friends with many people I worked with there!

My first job was delivering the Advertiser every Wednesday up and down our subdivision. I was 12 years old and the Advertisers were so thick at that time that I could only carry 20 at a time on my bike—so it took me five trips, up and down the hill, to deliver all 102 of them. I was paid 3 cents a paper, giving me a whopping $3.06 a week.

My first job, bagging groceries at Dominick's ......$ 2.50 ---3.50 an hour 30 years go. My worst job ? Bailor operator at stone container in north Chicago, a dusty dirty job...a machine that crush boxes...when it gets clogged up ? i had to climbed on top of the roof to unclog it...fun job....most fun job ? delivering the mail for 33 years .

I was a floor hockey referee for 5-year-olds! It was very fun.

Since I grew up here, in BG, my first job was here, too! What a lot of folks don't know...is that the first bagel store in BG was in the space now occupied by Grande Jakes, and it was called Bagels To Go. My friend's family owned the store. I was 15 and rode my bike to and from work that whole summer! :)

Babysitting at 12, scooping ice cream at Baskin Robbins at 13, cashier at Walgreens at 16, then graduating beauty school at 18 to work at Haircrafters. No complaints, made friends along the way and honed my hard working ethic.

Great memories. Started out washing dishes, at Farmen's Hotel in the late 70,s moved up to Busboy. then Carver, for the Fri & Sat, Buffet/Brunch. never figured out what people found so appealing about the Frog Legs though. Nice thing was, that Bud Farmen, would always find a job for a High school teen, who wanted to work. weather it was doing Lawn work, or Walking his Mothers dog.

Sorry everyone.... I win.

Many years ago, I worked as a Kelly Temp and was placed at Kraft Foods. My job was to unwrap cheese slices and grade them on how the cheese adhered (or not) to the plastic. I unwrapped about 25 cases of cheese/day and worked at this job for nearly a week. Yes, whole week. My hourly rate was $4.25.... Oh my.

I was 12 years old and working in a funeral home. From moving bodies to vacuuming parlor floors, it was actually a great job.
