Your First Job

Mine was at Fiesta Lanes Bowling Alley. I was 12 years old and after school and on weekends I`d wash dishes in the restaurant or what ever it was called. Pay was $1.30 an hour and when I got my weekly check I thought I was rich. lol I`d save some and spend some.

first job wasnt really a job. I knew a guy that was importing/manufacturing fake Billabong/Quicksilver/Rip Curl shirts that were very sought after in that area. He managed to get them done in the same way the reals are done, (tubular shirts, no seams on the side). got a price gun and faked the labels.

Since i was connected with the surfing scene then i was able to easily and quickly move a lot of volume, i was making about 10bucks off every shirt he sold. he started making hoodies and shorts too. did it for a summer and i was able to be a beach bum for 6 months with that money.

Delivered coupons to neighborhoods for a pizza place. They would drop us off and we would deliver a couple of coupons, then go to a 7-11 to get drinks and call them a couple hours later.
