Worked at Sears retail store right out of high school making sure the store, clothes and fitting rooms were clean and tidy. My mom worked at this Sears too and they were actually closing permanently but had let too many people go too soon and needed extra help so I had some help getting hired from the inside haha.

Besides babysitting, my first real job was working in a post office when I was 13.  It was over the Christmas break, in a very tiny general post office were people would come to pick up their mail.  I loved it!  My favorite part was reading the postcards.
