How old were you when you got your first real job

If by "real job", you mean working for others and getting paid, I'd say around 11 or 12 shoveling walks in the winter. If you mean "real job" as when I started paying taxes that would be 15 working as a gofer at the airport for a couple of brothers that had a crop dusting business. If you mean "real job" as to a career, haven't done that yet. Joined the Navy after I graduated highschool 20 something years ago and haven't figured out yet what I want to be when I grow up! I thinking either race car driver or cowboy. It's a toss up.

Well, let's see:

When I was 8 I sold worms during the summer and made enough money to buy my first "new" bike. My pa made me electric prods to get the worms to leave thier "dens" and since we lived on the only road to Dworshak reservoir outside of Orofino ID business was always great!
When we moved to WA at age 12 I started workin' on the local farms (rogueing, buckin' bails, driving truck and combine, burning stubble, etc) and did that until my Senior year of High School.
As a Senior I worked for the Forest Service until I was shipped off to boot camp and have been takin' advantage of the Navy until now (18 years later).
I guess I'll have to get a REAL job in a couple more years.

well i had a bunch of summer jobs from the time i was 10 or 11. funny thing is when i was 8 or 9 i did the pulling worms thing too :)) during high school i did some lumber yrd working , gas pumping , house demolition, things like that over the summers.but when i was 18 and just graduated high school i went to ROYALTINE OUTFITTER AND GUIDE SCHOOL, it was awsome! after graduating there i worked in New mexico and colorado guiding for elk , deer, bear and cougerfor 8yrs . it would last anywhere from 7 months to year round depending on if you wanted to go back home {in oregon} to visit family or if you wanted to just keep hunting. during some of the offseasons i would come home and do construction . now days I do more building than guiding but just to stay closer to my wife and new baby. oh ya and my dog! I build or remodle houses and sell them now on the side of building houses for customers so i stay pretty busy.but i still take a couple guys out each year here in oregon and do a ton of hunting for myself in as many states as will give me a tag each year. the main advantages to my guiding is a lot of my buddies get a lot of complaints from there wives on how much they go hunting, me I always just have to remind her that I've cut way down cause i used to hunt 300+ days a year. :) but she is very understanding and supports my hunting completly and even will get a tag herself on occasion.
