Awesome news, congrats...  My first job other than a paper boy was a stock boy for $2/hour cash for a hot dog stand.

It's always exciting starting a new job.

Having been raised on a farm, my first job was working on the farm. ;D

Get up, go to work, come home, eat supper, go to bed, repeat.  10 years will fly by now and you'll wonder where they went.

And at the same time the hardest job you will ever do. There are no quiting times or days off.

Congrats on the job!
My father used to work weekends as a teen, and young adult on the Chesapeake crabbing.
My first job was in the general store, stock boy, floor sweeper, etc. 1982.

congrats.
I recall my first job well. It was over 30 years ago an i was 11--been working ever since.  Each summer I'd work in the hayfields with the neighborhood kids. We worked for the founder of Overnite Transportation Co who lived near us and owned all the hay fields, cattle, etc..in our area.  Hot days of wearing long jeans and long sleeve shirts and gloves stacking bales on wagons then stacking them in the barns, sometimes 12 layers high and avoiding air gaps which would ignite and burn the barn down from the gases of the hay and alfalfa.  Rode my bike to the worksites and was paid $2.00 an hour. 
Kids have it made now--they don't know what real work is.
Looking back at that, i really did enjoy it.

     Congrats on the job, I have been racking my brain, but I can not recall the first job I had that actually paid me, I did a lot of jobs that I didn't really get paid for when I was a teenager.
