Alright, after hearing that Senocular’s first job was [shoveling horse stalls and stacking bales](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2463307&postcount=21) of hay, I just gotta hear what everyone else’s first job was. I’m sure there’s some more gems out there. :beam:

My first job was as a production assistant at a print shop. Operating presses, operating the folding machines and cutters, paginating books, cutting business cards and greeting cards, etc.

It was pretty fun! Lots of heavy lifting, and I was basically covered in ink and glue and paper dust all the time. Was great experience when I was a print designer though. 🙂
