First job was at 14. Finally finished college at 34 after working too many dead end sales and customer service jobs. 39 now and ready to retire.

First W2 job? Because I feel bad if you lived in a state that legally allow children (which 14 is) to work a W2 real job. My state 16 was the minimum and I got hired at 15 but my starting day was my 16th birthday (which was a week after the store opened anyway). I have already worked longer than my Dad who retired from the Army after 20 years. I have almost been at my CURRENT job for 20 years alone.
