First Job Series: Kurt Guth
First Job:
Janitor | Miss Lilly’s — Green Parrot Nightclub
Age 15 | $3.35/hr + any money found on the floor or between the seats
Why this job?
I needed spending money for comic books and for clothes (from Structure).
Take-Away
I couldn’t wait to get a job where I didn’t have to clean bathrooms because it is NOT very pleasant.
Life Lesson
You can do almost anything for a short period of time! You will learn from each job you have and each job helps you determine your likes and dislikes. For example, bar orange juice that comes out of a beverage gun is terrible.
Teen Advice
Almost any job can turn into a good job, and it doesn’t have to be the best job starting out. I strongly recommend getting a job in the trades to help you learn how to work with your hands.
