BC_99 Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 mowing grass until I was old enough to work for my dad building houses, about 13-14 years old. Started out as a laborer and moved up to masonry, roofing, and siding, framing ect. Learned enough to know I didnt wanna do that for a living. But I bagged groceries, washed cars at a dealership, worked in a plastics factory, and finally got a foot in the door on a race team. Been working in racing ever since.

Burton Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 My first job was helping a house builder frame in houses the summer I was 15 for $10/hr under the table. That fall I got a job as a busboy and dishwasher at a fast food joint then went to Taco Bell. By 17 I was detailing cars at a dealership and pretty much stayed in the automotive field in one way or another ever since, and that's been 20 years.

In the summer I detailed highend cars like Mercedes and BMW's...I even got to detail a Ferrari 308 GTS...I charged $250 for each car, but that included everything from engine to wheel removal to polish the inside of the wheels...

Richie_Rich Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 My first real job was drafting for a steel bar joist manufacturer while still in high school.I've now been in the steel construction business for 27 years. My biggest regret is not finishing college and getting a degree.This actually hurt me about a year and a half ago.I was not allowed to move into a VP of project management position because I didn't have a degree.Forget about how well I manage people and that all the other PM's wanted me to move into the roll, plus the VP of sales was behind me.The guy that they hired for the position was an idiot and didn't know how to manage people.I'm getting ready to start at another company this week.

UlrichWolf Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) Very first gig was detailing cars on my own. Some kids sold lemonade, in my neighborhood, everyone knew where to drop off the Town Car or the Fleetwood, and it would be finished by five, and looking like new money. I saved up lots and lots of bux doing that. By the time I got my license, I had been doing that enough that I had a 3 thousand dollar stash hidden in my bedroom. First "real" job was working at a Mazda dealer when I was 16, in the make ready department, plus doing some gophering. I enjoyed the gopher end, because at that dealership, they told you to get a car, and go here, go there, and you simply took whatever struck your fancy. Any idea how many Turbo II FC's I broke in? LOL THAT's a great first job. It was 4 bucks an hour, but I made up for it in donuts. Hell, I even cut a donut in an MPV van once, somewhat against my better judgement, but it didn't roll over. Ah, to be young again. I'd love to have that life back. Beating up someone else's cars, living at home, and making money who's sole intent was to be pissed away.

A friend of my dads used to work at the docks in Baltimore, MD, and he said he unloaded quite a few Conquests/Starions, and that him and the guys would take some of them with 2 miles on them, and beat the absolute snot out of'm. Donuts, 180s, launching them...haha So...he may have driven some of our cars here...lol And we wonder why they break so much.
