First Job I ever did was a cruise ship that had day and evening cruises up and down the river that ran through my city. I did general labor and short order cook. I was only 15 and it was a dream job for a guy that age.
I got paid big time as well $1.25 a hour 
Here is a pic of the ship
I served royalty in 1972, and worked a 36 hour shift for that, we had to empty the ship of everything and all new stuff was brought on, even new toilets were installed.
My first job was in a factory which packed cards birthdays and xmas.
They paid me peanuts and expected me to work like a dog for them.
Beautiful ship!! Where was the royalty from?
Lord Snowdon and Princess Margaret, from England
I know this is pathetic, but I would do jobs that I hated.
Why?
Because I could use it as an excuse to others and to myself, when I quit the job.,
I quit the job cos I hated it. Really I quit the job because of paranoia and couldn’t get along with the other workers.
Fun times yeah
Nice! What did you cook? I used to believe I was royalty - but that’s another story.
They had special chefs prepare their meal, I was the gopher doing all the dirty work
I bagged groceries for two years while I was in high school.
Special memories, nonetheless, @Mountainman. Working on a riverboat is also my idea of a dream job. I love Tom Sawyer so much.

Wow, sounds like a nice job to have done
I babysat a lot; I enjoyed it. It was a good fit.

Oh the memories. Was about 15, got to work late on the weekends and hangout at the local Tim Hortons right after.
Was the same for me, ship docked at 1 am, used to get home at 3 in the morning, cool for a 15 year old
Technically babysitting, but after that I was a waitress. I really liked it.
Yeah I was a waiter for a while.
I liked it too.
I was a paperboy for my first job too. Once a month on a Saturday I collected the money too. Once I started going out to pubs, getting up early was a problem though.

Do not remember it well
