My highest paying job on a per hour basis was washing cars and mowing lawns in Saudi Arabia as a teenager during the summer. It took me until I was 26 to make as much per hour as I did then.

It's amazing how much people will pay not to have to do those things in 115 degree heat.

I made 80 cents an hour at Lagoon the summer between my Jr. and Sr. year in high school. That lasted two months and I decided to quit and go to France for the rest of the summer.

Based on the CPI, that equates to $30.72 an hour in 2008 dollars. We you working in the Tunnel of Love or something?

My first hourly job was $4.15/hr. My first job was delivering papers...I don't want to think about what I was paid to do that.

You've underestimated 71's age there.

Actually the speed way. It was an awesome job. The fringes were great. Always plenty of hot women. Free tickets to the Beach Boys, Paul Revere and the Raiders, etc.

My first job was at a small bakery chain called La Petite Boulangerie. Bread and deli. We were making just over $3 an hour in the mid 80s. 2 of my friends and I all applied together and we were all hired. It was a lot of fun.

We were all fired because one day we decided to slice open the side of a few baugettes and put pickle spears inside them and sell them to people. We thought it would be funny to watch their expressions as they sliced open their baguettes to find pickles inside. We didnt really think it through very well. We were all fired that day.

My first job was for the University of Utah football team, working at their catered dinner line in a room in the student Union building. I was paid $3.80 to shovel food onto plates, and keep the drink machines filled, and the salad, sandwich, and dessert bars stocked, and bus their tables. Most of them were really cool, would shoot pool with me afterwards, invite me to their parties and gave me game tickets.

I don't think you're quite the biggest dick on CG. Pretty close though.
