As the topic title is asked, what was your first job as a kid - let's say at the age of a "junior high" - above or below...
my very first job was as a cleaner at my aunt's local restaurant where I would do the dishes, washing the water closets etc...
The reason why I ask this is because I wanna come up with ideas for other alternative jobs suited for my little brother at the age of 14 who is kinda unsatisfied of his weekly commercial mail delivery which he earns about 25-30US$ / ~150NOK per week. which is pretty low considering the high living standard here in Norway, where you could say a "Quarter Pounder" cost roughly 6US$/29 NOK here and you do the math about how many burgers he can afford (and it's not really the size of a "Quarter Pounder" to tell you the least) lol.
Anyways it would be kind of you to tell us about your first job as this would probably help us to bring up some new ideas for his new job.
Have a nice Sunday.

Ah, ok nice to hear.
So I guess the "legal working age" in denmark is 14? and since you started out as a 13 year old I would guess you started as a part time worker and restricted from some part of the work?

My first part time job while in H.S was teacher assistant in a preschool and sometime toddler class. I can attest that those little devils could smell fear.

I like the toddler class better, those kids couldn't speak much and didn't understand sarcasm

Sales associate. I got "laid off" after three weeks because I wouldn't take any of the manager's crap.
Word of advice: Find jobs in places that are busy. That way, the manager isn't on your back every second you're there because he/she is too busy doing something else.
