This depends upon culture, upbringing, personal beliefs and comfort of those involved, For me 69 y/o white M, I look forward to this WITH a willing partner, however there is something to be said for patience as well. Suggest do not rush, before thought.
What was your first job?
-
Mine was watering for Betty Crocker. I was 10 and I thought she was the one and only but I think she was their model. Pay was $10 an hour- it took about an hour.
First paying job was at Novak's across the street from Tamarack beach in Carlsbad, CA. My job was to clean the grounds.Pay was a cheeseburger, fries and chocolate shake.
Another early job was delivering the LA Times in Carlsbad. Sunday was tough and I remember having to ride on one side of my bike to avoid dogs.

@Wonder I worked in many places such as farms and construction ...., but my first formal job was an electro-mechanical engineer
-
I bet that has served you well! Firm believer that's it's good to remember where you came from.
-
@Wonder I worked for Subway as a "sandwich artist" lol
-
I can see some art there. Did you go to sleep seeing the sandwiches you made? I like to see shooting stars then when I close my eyelids I see them again.
-
@Wonder said in What was your first job?:
Did you go to sleep seeing the sandwiches you made?
no but I smelled like onions and pickles all the time.....
-
@Janet Have you ever tried a grilled cheese with onion? American cheese with yellow onion is quite tasty!
-
@Wonder yep but I usually eat sweet onions not yellow onions. I dont cry when I slice sweet onions lol
-
@Janet If I close my mouth I don't seem to cry slicing yellow onions. I am a fan of green onions but they're not quite the same taste as yellow! Try a grilled cheese with diced yellow onion. Have you tried fried whole kernel corn?
-
@Wonder okay and yes!
-
My first job was writing a blog against vaping for school. It was weird because I hadn't yet seen a vape irl back then.
-
@Wonder my first job was advertising and promoting school
-
@Wondcr Brea on sourdough with yellow carmelized onions and a tomato. It is so good
-
Sonic was my first.
-
@Wonder my first Job was a security guard at summer in a museum .. 😴😴
-
@The-Mods Wow! First job security guard! Hope you had some training!
-
@Wonder you made me laugh 😂 I was sitting in an underground floor sleeping for 5hrs eating for 1hr and playing world checkers qualifications online for 2 hrs then leaving lol
-
@The-Mods I know that experience. I was training to be an Air Traffic Controller. 30 years underground then you might make the tower. Ended up getting fired by Reagan as working conditions were abysmal.
-
@Wonder
my first job was installing antenna but I wasn't honest with that job and did just because my friend says they pay daily or per installation. But after I join they made it monthly. So I tried to procrastinate it by making some reasons. Ended up quitting it in a week n didn't get paid for anything 🙃 -
I've had a few of those kinda of jobs. Sometimes you don't get what you don't pay for.
